Leveraging the Huaihua International Land Port, Huaihua's mountain products have been exported around the world. In the first two months of this year, Mayang exported eggs worth 22.008 million CNY, ranking second in the province, with an increase of 114.4% year on year, which ranks first in the province.

"Eggs are mainly exported to Hong Kong and Africa, while sweet oranges are favored by consumers in various countries including Malaysia, Vietnam, and Russia," said a manager of an exporting company.

"The customs authority set up 'green channels' for fresh agricultural products, giving priority to their declaration, inspection, and certification, which sharply cut the customs clearance time," said a customs officer of the Huaihua Customs Authority. Besides, the authority established a special team to assist in agricultural export, carrying out a series of priority measures to ensure the smooth export of agricultural products.
