Agree, it would be great if goods from abroad arrived as quickly as from a neighboring region. Or, in extreme cases, as from a large city to a small one, for example.
What is needed for this? Technologies! That's right! But not the kind we imagine when thinking about the future. An ordinary checkpoint will be enough, it will shorten the route by 2000 km.

What is special about this checkpoint?

It will be unusual. It will be located on Heixiatsidao Island (Bolshoi Ussuriysky Island). As you can see, this piece of land has two names at once. The fact is that part of the island is assigned to the Russian Federation, and part to China. And the countries are developing this territory together.

There is literally a small river between the countries. A few minutes - and the cargo is already abroad. But for everything to work like clockwork, large investments are needed.

How are countries developing a corridor for cargo passage?

China has already begun construction on its side. Upon completion of all works, the country will be able to solve the main problem in the development of the city of Fuyuan - the seasonality of cross-border contacts with the Khabarovsk Territory.

Russia will begin construction in 2025. The country is going to restore the mothballed railway section of 68 km Skovorodino - Reinovo, which will connect the border crossing with the Russian Railways infrastructure.

The cross-border bridge between the Amur Region and China Jalinda - Mohe will open a shorter exit to China. This means that goods will be delivered faster not only to one region, but throughout Russia.

Additional opportunities

In fact, one border crossing will open several options for delivering goods between countries at once: by car and by train. Companies will use the one that is more profitable and convenient for them.

But the fact is that after the completion of the work, trade turnover between the countries will increase many times over.

What goods will be delivered across the border?

Time will tell. But the countries have grandiose plans. Russia is going to send ore, coal, petrochemicals and agricultural products from the Amur region to China.

China, in turn, will import equipment, cars, spare parts, clothing and food products.

What businesses will be interested in the border crossing?

Both large and medium-sized. Moreover, in different regions of the Russian Federation. Look, for example, equipment can be delivered cheaper than by plane, and not as long as through other routes. This is first.

Secondly, an additional market will open up for businessmen from the Amur region. Moreover, such that transactions and delivery are carried out as quickly as possible.

This will be especially useful for those engaged in agriculture. China is ready to buy products in large quantities at once. Given the speed of delivery, it will be possible to quickly reach regular customers and occupy this niche.

Conclusion

A new border crossing - new horizons. But it is worth understanding that in logistics and sales, those who are always ready to take risks succeed. There is no doubt that relations between Russia and China will develop rapidly. And any opportunity for accelerated cargo delivery should be taken advantage of.

Who knows, maybe this route is a “gold mine” for you and your company.
