Recently, the Liaoning Port Group, a subsidiary of China Merchants Group, has launched the direct grain supply service for the depot of China Grain Reserves Group, a government-entrusted grain storage operator, in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
With a cargo ship fully loaded with top-quality corn departing from Yingkou Port in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province, a dedicated priority logistics channel has been successfully established, linking the major grain-producing regions directly to Guangxi.

The new corridor leverages shipping capacity and Yingkou Port’s location advantages to build a comprehensive logistics system integrating sea-rail intermodal transport and bulk grain containerization, creating a closed-loop route from the fields directly to the reserves.
Two special rail routes were launched, linking Yushu and Yingcheng in Jilin Province to Yingkou, further facilitating the transport of grain. With coordinated efforts across ports, railways, warehousing, and grain enterprises, a robust grain logistics artery is taking shape, connecting China’s black soil region in the northeast with the Beibu Gulf off the south coast.
The inaugural direct supply run is scheduled to last until September. It is expected to deliver 90,000 metric tons of top-quality corn, providing solid support for regional grain security.
