Storyline


Baise No.1, China's first train specially for transporting vegetables and fruits, has made more than 90 journeys and transported 25,000 tons of fresh produce from south China to Beijing since it began operation in 2013.

The train departs from south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Guangxi's fruits and vegetables -- bananas in particular -- are popular in supermarkets in the country's capital. Customers believe the produce from Guangxi is both of high-quality and cheap.

With a subtropical climate, Guangxi is home to a wide array of fruits. However, the distance between Guangxi and the country's northern provinces makes transportation slow and expensive. In October 2013, the Baise No.1 train started running, opening up the market for Guangxi fruit growers.

"Marketing is no longer a problem for us, and the price is stable. For example, this year [the banana price] is more than four yuan (per kilogram). So for me, our income and living conditions have improved a lot," said Huang Feifei, a local farmer.

Tropical fruits spoil easily when they're transported. To keep them fresh, fruit selling companies use freezers with smart managing systems. Employees can track the fruits with GPS and adjust the temperature of the freezer via a real-time temperature monitoring system on their smart phone.

"Cold container transportation can help us lower our losses from 20 percent to three percent. And the cost of special train transportation is 20 percent lower than regular transportation by trucks," said He Yongchen, general manager of Guangxi Baise No.1 Agriculture Development Co., Ltd.

The Baise No 1. train has reduced total travel time from Guangxi to Beijing to just 65 hours. Behind the speed are the efforts of railway dispatchers, who arrange time tables and routes for trains.

"First of all, from loading, starting the train and the train's configurations, and the staffing arrangements, we do everything during the whole journey, working to shorten travel time as much as possible and ensure it arrives at its destination quickly," said Zhao Jianhua, a dispatcher at the China Railway Nanning Group Co., Ltd.

As Baise No.1 continues to run smoothly, more fruits and vegetables will be able to reach the far corners of the country, allowing more people to enjoy the fresh taste of Guangxi.
