The gansu daily, 01st and 04th editions of april 7, 2026
In recent days, journalists have walked into the new zone of lanzhou and seen a hot spot — the entrance to the park, in which trucks with different provincial licence plates move in and out in an orderly manner; the storage area, in which goods are piled up like a small dock at sea and beyond; the processing workshop, in which the machines are booming and the production line is steady; the newly expanded plant, in which a new line for a new project is installed and new equipment is installed
“this is a hot land of hope!” standing in front of the office window, the vice-president of hangzhou pyrogroup limited and head of lanzhou pyrotechnic co. Ltd., said, “we are going to set up here a new power business for the future based on ai-enabled, and for central asia and asean, to help ligangsu specialty industries sail.”
New zone of lanzhou。
This year marks the beginning of the “fifty-five” campaign, and two months ago the new zone of sanctuary handed over exciting data — 1. 749 billion yuan in export and import trade, double the rate of growth over the same period. In 2025, the new zone of lanzhou achieved an export and import trade of $7,459 million, an increase of 137. 8 per cent over the same period; in 2025, more than 120 new enterprises were registered, with more than 70 actual trading operations. Of these, 35 were newly registered cross-border electric operators and 17 were brought from hangzhou alone。
What is the right thing to do in the new zone of lanzhou, where businesses, industries, and foreign trade are multiplying
Combine and activate business
The western gansu food source international trade ltd.'s line for the production of wheatseed crude oil is being produced at full capacity。
“we are processing smelting seeds from kazakhstan, producing 500 tons of raw materials per day and more than 180 tons of oil.” the director of the company, ma, introduced him。
When asked about the sale, ma zhang said that there were many food and oil head companies in the new zone of lanzhou, and we had closed rings from importing raw materials to processing to selling them。
Businesses have been able to produce and sell, thanks to the policy of opening up the social security zone。

Under the system of insurance, enterprises in the issa import seed, which can be stored, processed within the zone and suspended from payment of import duties, pending processing into crude oil and customs clearance。
“this increases the flexibility of corporate liquidity.” for example, “in the case of imports of a line of seed, more than $5 million of goods are subject to customs duties of about $0. 9 million if they are not in the csz, plus a cost of more than $6 million. On the other hand, they can be paid off in the general security zone and can be ordered for more than $5 million.”
In recent years, the zone development and construction company for the new zone of lan county (zzone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone of zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone of zone zone of zone of zone zone of zone of zone of zone zone of zone zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of z in particular, the establishment in almaty in 2025 of the central asia office of the new zone of sanctuary, which is responsible for the procurement of food and oil in central asia, has helped to accelerate the development of a coordinated system of “business-led logistics, logistics-led industries and industry-backed logistics”, which has made a critical leap from “carrying raw materials” to “mutual industries”。
By the end of march of this year, cumulative imports of smelting seeds into the new zone of lanzhou were 34,000 tons, an increase of 183 per cent over the same period last year, and the effects of intraregional and external integration, upstream and downstream synergistic development accelerated。

Just as the food and oil business grew larger, the company in the new zone of lanzhou discovered new opportunities — the central asia office was able to procure not only oil, but also non-ferrous metal products from central asia and russia。
Can international domestic linkages in food and oil trade be replicated in mineral products
The new zone of lanzhou, at the decision-making level, began with the white silver group, which had long-standing cooperation with the parent company, gansu international logistics. After negotiation, an agreement on the supply of minerals was successfully concluded, whereby russian zinc concentrates were imported into the general security zone and distributed to the silver market。
Following the landing of the first non-ferrous metal business, the central asia office of the new zone integrated security area of the land region successfully entered into a service agreement with two companies, the kazakhstan copper company and the new zone of the land zone, for the supply of more than $200 million worth of copper。
Faced with the development of new businesses and the urgent need for new energy enterprises to break the fluctuating prices of raw materials, the new zone of lanzhou has set up a non-ferrous metal distribution centre in time to successfully access the new supply chain route of “overseas direct-privileged-precision distribution”。
At the end of last year, kazakhstan’s cooperative enterprises were in dire need of modern handling equipment for logistics bases, as ration oil and minerals increased in the new district of lanzhou. The new zone of lanzhou has procured a timely supply of domestic handling equipment, which is sent to cooperative enterprises on a premium lease basis, as a first-soldier tax lease. This has further enriched the supply of cross-border mechanical equipment and has helped us to cooperate with industry in central asian countries。
In order to take full advantage of the location, policy and logistical advantages of the non-ferrous metals, precious metals export and import distribution centres in the new district of lanzhou, by the end of last year the silver group set aside 20,000 kg of silver and gold exports in the integrated zone。
Since 2025, the new zone of lanzhou has imported and exported nearly 37,000 tons of non-ferrous and precious metal goods, representing over $3. 8 billion in trade。
The internal outreach from grain oil to minerals has not only enriched the state of the new zone of lanzhou, but has also led to a closer integration and synergy between the zone and the new zone of lanzhou and the preponderant industries of the province, with open platforms reaching new steps。
You're doing a good job
This leap, from trading to aggregating industries, to deep integration into the upgrading of industry throughout the province, has been made possible by the policy, functional overlap and advantages of the new zone of lanzhou, to attract and support the development of processing and production enterprises in the relevant industries, as well as the development of clusters and linkages between upstream and downstream enterprises。
New zone of lanzhou。
Two new businesses were registered in 2025。
Let's start with sochi tech。
The sooling science and technology group, based in beijing, is a high-technology enterprise dedicated to the development, production, application and management of road anti-acid materials and municipal engineering facilities for transport. It is the only enterprise in the world with full-industry chain technology for producing anti-circulation products, and its research and development of new anti-circulation materials blended into asphalt, allowing road winters to be free of ice and summer cracks。
In november 2025, in order to expand the market in central asia and asean, sost and gansu international logistics group conducted a cooperative negotiation. The initial topic was to work with the gansu international logistics group on international transport operations for products. Upon learning of the business vision, the company of the new zone of lanzhou released the olive branch — recommending that they place production lines in the new zone of lanzhou, with both policy dividends and location advantages, as well as joint international market access in the future。
“the tax refund policy in the tax zone alone has brought us to light.” the head of the plant at gansuso materials technology limited said that if the product was not in the bonded area, it would not be reimbursed until the exit formalities were completed at the port. The fact that the goods have not yet left the country before being installed and processed for export in the tax zone is considered to mean that they are entitled to “in-country and out-of-the-border” treatment, allowing for early tax refunds, thus easing the financial pressure on enterprises. In addition to gansu's large market, the new zone of lanzhou has introduced preferential rental conditions for the plant and has committed to financing the enterprise, and cooperation was reached within a month. From december 2025, when the production line was built, to the end of march this year the installation phase of the equipment was in place, it is expected that it will be tested by the end of april and operational by the end of may, at which time 700,000 tons of the group's capacity will be in gansu。

In 2025, following a job-hunting exercise organized by the new zone of lanzhou, the new zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of zone of 。
“the advantages are highly compatible with our development strategy.” according to do dae-seon, the business was organized as an ai-enabled new cross-border electrician. With the wave of ai coming, the future internet purchases will not have to move, and if the ai assistant on the phone is told what to want, they will automatically plan multiple shopping packages that combine products, prices and distribution distances. The business is about creating new electricity dealers who can play ai-enabled and hatch new electric operators. The new zone of lanzhou provides talent support not only for locational advantages, electrician ecology, tax policy, but also for job parks。
This is just one step。
According to do dae-seon, enterprises eventually have to create new routes for digital trade, allowing gansu products to go to sea and upgrade their industries。
On 10 november 2025, cross-border electrician estates in the new zone of lanzhou were registered, achieving a trade volume of 130 million yuan a month。
The landing of new technologies, materials and new power companies has increased the industrial power, the development power, the future potential, and the regional power。
Innovation management for excellence
Put down the tree and bring in the golden phoenix. The need for a first-class business environment has become even more acute after the boom. This is also an important support for making the industry big and strong。
In 2025, the new zone of lan county, the zone corporation, promoted the establishment of a “government-related” synergy mechanism. Regular and coordinated communication mechanisms have been established with the new zone of lanzhou and with the customs authorities of king town, which are part of the land state customs, through the holding of regular tripartite meetings on the coordination of park transport and security, with a view to bringing together the various actors in the “companiment committee plus company” model, establishing lists of outstanding issues in the operation of the park and placing a billing number to ensure that the problems are improved and that the work is done in a zero-sum manner。
One example is the opening of dedicated access to non-insured goods。
In the past, cross-border electric operators in the imss had been unable to enter and exit the park because they were not exporting their products when they wanted to present them outside the zone. Under the coordination mechanism of the “governance-gates” customs service, the customs service in kim city has managed the congestion and difficulty of the non-insured goods clearance process by opening a special non-insured card。
Another example is the acceleration of the intellectual upgrading of the park。
With the growth of the park's business, some longer vehicles transporting special cargo are not easily weighed because of the small amount of space at the main entrance to the park. The new zone in lanzhou, with the support of customs, completed the upgrading of the calorie pounds and the information system, reducing the length of access to vehicles from 3 minutes to 10 seconds。
The number of enterprises is growing, the volume of foreign trade operations is increasing and the number of services required by enterprises is increasing。
In november of last year, the provincial business department established the first province-wide integrated service platform focusing on the full-chain needs of the offshore companies in the new zone of lanzhou, to provide businesses with a full-cycle service from market information, material circulation customs, cross-border finance to legal advice, and to reduce the costs of “off-boarding” testing and operational risks。
In response to new arrivals, the new zone of lanzhou has also established, last year, a property branch and an information and business development centre, a “one-on-one” business service mechanism, from policy guidance to land production, to workers' living services, and a comprehensive service model, which has led to the efficient transformation of projects from contracting to operating。

In order to expedite the landing of the insurance processing, storage and logistics enterprises, the company of the new zone of lan state, the zone, has planned an industrial park infrastructure package with an investment of $137 million to generate 160. 5 acres of land. At the end of last year, the gansuhua plastics industry, in order to serve the central asian market for agricultural products, brought its tax processing operations into the new district of the state of durrant. In april, 57,000 square metres of storage facilities are expected to be delivered to the gansuhua plastics industries。
The director of the new zone said that he would seize the greatest opportunity to use the “one-way road” to position the company “deeply till central asia, with a global chain”, to use the policy and institutional advantages of the zone, to strengthen the synergy of the “governments” and to create a first-class business environment. In the areas of focused agro-food products, non-ferrous metals, cross-border electricians, and new materials for new technologies, industrial chain-precisions have been introduced to accelerate the development of internal and external trade integration, to scale up the industry and to improve the performance assessment of the new zone of lanzhou。
Reporter's hand:
New ideas open up new ground
“thinking determines the way forward”, as is borne out by the rapid development of the social security zone in the new zone of lanzhou。
The food and oil trade is the traditional business of the new zone of lanzhou, and once it meets the “new continent” of mineral products, it immediately seizes the opportunity to expand the new business, both by enriching the landscape and by creating a closed circle between the “go-out” and “into” feeding each other. It's a broader idea。
When the results of the concentration industry are explored from the international trade in food oil and non-ferrous metals, in turn, it is tailored to the needs of domestic firms to go to sea to create domestic new technologies, new materials, services from new electric power companies to go to sea, and to achieve a shift from a “passage economy” to a “landing economy”. This is a shift of thought。
In the face of the positive momentum and emerging issues of development, the momentum has led to the creation of “political-related” synergy mechanisms, the creation of a first-class business environment and the emergence of advantages. This is an innovation of thought。
The thinking is wide。
Today, through deep tillage through physical corridors, innovation in digital trade, and the construction of integrated ecology, the new zone of the new zone of lanzhou is empowering a more deep, extensive and dynamic “new out of the sea” to become the central asian food and oil processing and distribution centre, the centre for non-ferrous metals and the centre for the distribution of transborder electricians。
It has proved that development can go up if the thinking is right. (jing dong)
