On March 11, 2024, a special train of Central Asia (Wuhan) using liquid bag container technology transported high-quality edible sunflower seed oil from Central Asia to Xianglushan Station in Wuhan. This is the first time that Wuhan has imported edible oil in a liquid bag container mode, marking that the return line has entered normal operation and is also an important innovation in the mode of transportation. Liquid bag container technology intakes edible oil into a disposable environmentally friendly liquid bag and places it in a standard container. A single box can carry 26 tons of liquid cargo. Compared with traditional canned or barreled, it has high safety, good economy, and low loss. The advantages effectively solve the problem of high cost and large loss of liquid cargo transportation. This train is not only an arrival of goods, but also an exploration of the upgrading of the supply chain model in Central China, which will help Central Asian agricultural products enter the Chinese market at a lower cost and higher efficiency. In the future, the liquid bag transportation mode will be extended to vegetable oil, food-grade liquids, chemical intermediates and other categories, the railway sector will also explore the "public train enterprise customization" mode, to help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, for high-quality co-construction of "the belt and road initiative" to inject new momentum.
