In the first half of this year, funds not only focused on supporting the upgrading of traditional business circles and farmers' markets, but also played a significant role in the construction of consumer infrastructure. In the process of building a cold chain product distribution center with one-stop service for all categories, Lishui, Zhejiang received support from banks. Through the integration of cold chain logistics infrastructure, it will promote the industrialization of local fresh agricultural and sideline products and promote the consumption upgrade of residents.
In Lishui, Zhejiang, the largest cold chain logistics park in the area was completed and put into use only half a year ago, attracting more than 120 merchants to settle in, with nearly 2,000 tons of fresh products put into storage every day, making this market rapidly grow into an important regional transaction center.
Xu Jia, General Manager of Zhejiang Linongpi Information Technology Co., Ltd.: In addition to the meat, seafood, buns, and dairy products we see every day, there are also a variety of products such as Spanish ham and imported ice cream.
In order to support this logistics infrastructure construction, the local bank specially designed a ten-year loan for this project.
Hu Yaya, Manager of the Corporate Business Department of the Lishui Liandu Sub-branch of the Agricultural Bank of China: Such medium and long-term loans can effectively reduce the pressure on corporate funds. At present, more than 40 million yuan have been granted. The reduction of 50 (basis points) can save enterprises nearly 200,000 (yuan) in interest expenses a year.
