Kuang Qiao - vice-president of the fruit's mainland distributor, Chaoda
Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Limited - said the company plans to spend 200
million yuan (US$25 million) to build the mainland's first logistics centre "to
help Taiwanese agricultural products to be distributed on a larger scale."
Currently Mawei, linked to Taiwan's Matsu Island by a ship route, has plans
for a 5,000-square-metre distribution centre and a 3,000-square-metre warehouse
to handle Taiwanese fruit, according to a Xinhua News Agency report.
In Xiamen, the First Cross-Straits Book Trade Fair, set for July 29-31, is
co-sponsored by publishing industries on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.
The fair will break a mainland directive that Taiwanese books can be
exhibited on the mainland but not offered for sale, said Bai Jingzhao, director
of Fujian Provincial Press and Publication Bureau.
"The fair will become the largest of its kind in the number of Taiwan
participants and exhibited books," Bai said.
More than 50,000 books published in the past two years in the island
province, along with about 150,000 mainland books, will be exhibited.
According to the organizing committee, the fair will be held annually
alternating between the mainland and Taiwan.
