This dedicated cargo route, operating daily until Jan 27, provides a specialized express channel for transporting Baotou's agricultural and livestock products to external markets.

In the past, Baotou's high-quality beef and mutton faced significant challenges in reaching markets outside the region due to transportation constraints and time limitations. Losses incurred during transit placed a heavy burden on local farmers and businesses.

With the launch of this cargo route, transportation times have been significantly reduced. This ensures that beef and mutton reach their destinations at peak freshness, minimizes losses during transit, allows consumers nationwide to enjoy the rich taste of Baotou's premium products, and opens up new growth opportunities for local farmers and enterprises.

A Baotou postal administration bureau representative highlighted plans to deepen collaboration with aviation partners, integrate more aviation resources, optimize route networks, and improve transportation efficiency.

Efforts will also focus on enhancing the supporting infrastructure of delivery networks, such as airports and logistics parks, to ensure seamless transport for specialty agricultural products and other high-value, time-sensitive goods.
