The Shanghai Hongqiao International Central Business District (CBD) is transforming the coffee industry by establishing a comprehensive industry chain and international cooperation platform.
At the heart of this transformation is the Hongqiao International Coffee Harbor (HICH), which provides seamless support from bean to cup.
A vibrant ecosystem has formed at the coffee hub where coffee-related businesses thrive in close proximity. It facilitates the flow of coffee beans from 47 Belt and Road countries and 15 Silk Road e-commerce partners into China, while exporting Chinese specialties like Yunnan beans worldwide. Through global partnerships with coffee-producing regions, Hongqiao ensures a steady and sustainable coffee supply.
To strengthen its position as a globally recognized coffee bean trading platform, the Harbor launched the HICH Coffee Bean Price Index, enhancing China's influence in the international coffee trade.
Dedicated to nurturing coffee talent, promoting trade, and incubating brands, the coffee hub is set to elevate China's role in the global coffee market.
The Hongqiao Import Commodity Exhibition and Trade Center has established a price release center to increase the transparency and efficiency of the coffee trade process. This initiative enhances the display and pricing of bonded goods, making trade more accessible.
As a pioneer in Silk Road e-commerce, Hongqiao is leveraging blockchain technology to enhance coffee trade with Belt and Road countries.
Located near the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) and the Hongqiao transportation hub, the CBD's year-round exhibition platform showcases products from the China International Import Expo (CIIE). Its live-streaming e-commerce center further bridges online and offline development in the coffee industry.
