自《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》（RCEP）实施以来，中国企业对亚太国家农产品出口激增。

　　徐闻县位于中国南方的广东省湛江市，三面环海。该县是中国最大的菠萝产地，总产量约占全国的三分之一。长期以来，徐闻菠萝只专注于中国大陆市场，2017 年开始向其他地区出口，但速度缓慢。但是在2月份，在RCEP框架下，徐闻菠萝首次出口到新加坡。

　　徐闻县诺香园农产品专业合作社社长陈如约表示，“RCEP生效后，徐闻菠萝出口到新加坡，这是我们在市场上的第一次尝试，也是一次试驾，目前反响还不错。”

　　广东省政府农业农村厅交流合作处处长黄维华表示，“我们通常选择更好的新品种菠萝出口，传统老品种在市场上卖价并不高。国外市场的高回报会吸引我们的农民要么改进他们现有品种，要么选择更好品种。”

　　目前广东多地已设立RCEP采购和交易中心，其中就包括徐闻县。这些采购交易中心尚处测试阶段，但我们希望它们能够帮助企业并提供经济机会。

Business owners in China are seeing a surge in agricultural product exports to Asia-Pacific nations following the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, a free trade agreement. Our Cao Chufeng has more.

CAO CHUFENG Xuwen County, Zhanjiang "Xuwen County is located in southern China's Guangdong Province, surrounded by the ocean on three sides. But it's not the ocean or beach that this county is famous for – it's the pineapples."

Xuwen County is the biggest producer of pineapples in China, accounting for about one third of the total production. For a long time, it focused on the Chinese mainland market. Exports to other regions commenced in 2017 but at a slow pace. But last month, under the framework of RCEP, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership free trade agreement, pineapples from Xuwen were exported to Singapore for the first time.

HUANG YIDU Chairman, Circle Logistics Co., LTD "Yes, the pineapples have already arrived in Singapore, and they're ready to be purchased online. Many Chinese living in Singapore purchased them, and were very happy to enjoy the flavor from their homeland."

Most of the pineapples sold to Singapore come from a local businessman and pineapple grower named Chen Ruyue. He owned a foreign export business in Guangzhou but chose to return to his hometown. Since then, he has been selling Xuwen pineapples to different countries. He hopes RCEP can open more new doors.

CHEN RUYUE President, Xuwen Muchsweet Produce Cooperatives "Xuwen pineapples were exported to Singapore, after RCEP came into force. It was our first attempt in the market. It's also a test drive, so far, the response has been pretty good."

For a long time, fruits grown in Southern China, such as pineapples, have faced much more international competition compared with ones grown in the North. South East Asian countries with similar habitats can offer the same fruit at a lower price. The trade agreement is expected to bring new opportunities and more competition. The Guangdong provincial government says better marketing strategies and quality products will be the aim.

HUANG WEIHUA Director, Division of Exchange & Cooperation, Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province "We usually choose better and new varieties of pineapples for export. Traditional old varieties do not fetch very high prices in the market. Higher returns in foreign markets will attract our farmers to either make improvements to their current varieties or select better varieties."

Several RCEP purchasing and trading centers have been opened across Guangdong, including one in Xuwen. They are still in the testing stage, but officials hope they can help businesses and provide international economic opportunities. Cao Chufeng, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province.
