Russia and China will develop a plan to reduce the cost of rail transit

The newspaper Kommersant wrote about the discussion held in the Russian Ministry of Economy and Finance, and said that Russia and China are seriously developing railway routes to optimize the export of goods. A strategic partnership in this direction will be particularly favorable for the export of goods, says Grigory Miryakov, an expert at the analytical center for the Russian government. On the one hand, the partnership provides great potential: in 2016, China imported 1.5 times more meat from Russia, compared to 2015, and fish exports increased by almost 10%. On the other hand, strict rules governing transit periods for food. The increase in prices for rail transit is offset by its higher speed compared to maritime transport.

Countries are working to create routes between the Kaluga region (Vorsino) and Guangdong province (Shilong) and the train route must lie from Vorsino to the border, and then it will be transferred to the Chinese railway workers.

Sea transit is the most popular way to deliver products between countries at the present time, according to experts. Then there is a railway transit, and it has the greatest potential: the export of pine nuts, alcohol, milk and meat products. Both parties are currently working to reduce the rental price of reefer containers and omnidirectional containers.
