At the China-Uruguay Trade and Investment Cooperation Forum held last month, Shanghai Silk Road International Trading Co Ltd, based in Shanghai's Jiading district, signed a strategic partnership with Uruguay's Fadisol company.
This new agreement will introduce Uruguayan canola oil, including various refined edible options, to the Chinese market, providing Jiading residents with a taste of South American agriculture.
Uruguay, located in southeastern South America, is known for its sustainable and efficient farming practices. Fadisol, a leading player in the country's agricultural sector, has primarily exported its canola products to the European Union until now. This partnership marks their entry into the Chinese market.
Shanghai Silk Road International Trading Co Ltd will oversee the importation, customs clearance, storage, distribution, and sales of Fadisol's canola oil across China and the Middle East. The first shipment is expected to leave Uruguay in March.
Based in the Shanghai Silk Road International E-commerce Industrial Park, the company aims to strengthen trade among countries along the Silk Road. It has already established trade links with companies from Thailand, Vietnam, Scotland, and Brazil, bringing products like Thai durians, Vietnamese coconuts, and Scottish whisky to China.
