实力携手泰企，中泰产业园开拓“两种资源，两个市场”

□ 文/本刊记者 陈丽冰

地处热带地区的泰国，物产极为丰富，盛产香料和橡胶、榴莲、菠萝等热带经济作物，品种繁多，且价格低廉。坐落于中国广西崇左的中国—泰国崇左产业园（以下简称中泰产业园）不仅拥有丰富的土地、矿产、农林业等资源，而且，该产业园距离越南河内仅240公里，距广西北部湾港百余公里，是中国面向东盟开放合作的重要窗口。

丰富的资源，为产业园的发展提供了资源保障；优越的地理区位，使产业园的产品可以直接辐射中国和泰国等东盟市场。得益于此，众多“嗅到”商机的泰国企业纷纷慕名前来投资入驻。不仅如此，中泰产业园党工委书记赵波在接受本刊记者采访时表示，今后中泰产业园还将加大企业对外产能合作力度，充分利用中国—东盟博览会以及中泰产业园与泰国良好的合作关系，吸引更多国内外企业入园投资，使其成为中泰合作示范区、国内外企业投资的新洼地。

在“甜蜜的土地”上升级“甜蜜产业”

被誉为“中国糖都”的崇左，全市蔗糖产量200万吨左右，占广西的1/3、中国的1/5，榨蔗量和产糖量连续14个榨季位居中国地级市首位。

25年前，在崇左这片“甜蜜的土地”上催生了中国制糖行业最早的外资企业、广西最大的泰资企业——广西南宁东亚糖业集团。该集团主要外方股东是泰国规模最大的糖业集团——泰国两仪糖业集团，下辖广西崇左东亚糖业有限公司、广西扶南东亚糖业有限公司、广西宁明东亚糖业有限公司等8家生产企业，致力于生产精制白糖，以及酵母、生物肥等延伸产品。

同时，为了进一步提高资源综合利用率，将崇左的甘蔗既要“吃干榨尽”，也要“吃出新花样”，2017年9月15日，广西崇左东亚糖业有限公司糖业循环经济综合利用项目在中泰产业园正式开工建设。

“这个项目的动工标志着广西·中国糖业产业园在中泰产业园正式落地启动，核心区落户中泰产业园，规划面积10平方公里，布局了4000亩的糖品精深加工区、2000亩糖下游产业区及辅料生产区、3500亩东盟特色食品加工区、600亩港口仓储物流区、4500亩糖人街特色小镇、500亩中国糖业大数据中心等6个功能联合共享的糖产业体系，建成后将集生产、居住、商业、参观旅游于一体，对推动崇左糖业信息化、自动化、智能化发展将起到重要促进作用。”赵波书记说，该项目目前已完成总工程量的65%，预计于2018年11月建成投产。

不仅如此，赵波书记表示，中泰产业园当前还在与泰国影响力最大的功能饮料企业之一——泰国卡拉宝公司商谈合作，将利用广西崇左东亚糖业有限公司的工艺生产酵母、蛋白粉、制药、化妆品等下游产品。

“通过加强与东盟国家的合作，依托国内外资源，面向两个市场，进一步加强交流合作，完善协调合作机制，共同研究园区开放模式，充分利用园区独特、优越的区位交通优势和丰富的资源优势，科学引导和培养糖业、东盟特色经济等产业集群，进一步拉长糖产业链，全力打造中国糖业循环产业园示范基地。”赵波书记说。

发挥“两种资源”优势，开拓“两个市场”

中泰产业园所处的崇左不仅是“中国糖都”，还是“一带一路”重要节点城市和陆路东盟黄金通道，当前，随着“通边达海”“边海互动”的格局全面构建，崇左开通了中越公务车辆及货运直达车辆和深圳—南宁—凭祥—河内物流线路，实现了两国运输车辆、公务车辆的跨境通行，并深度参与南向通道建设，加快打造重庆—凭祥—东盟便捷物流线路，成为中国西南地区连接东盟最便捷的通道之一，进一步降低企业物流成本。

优越的区位优势使中泰产业园得以直接面向中国和东盟19亿人口市场，同时也吸引了越来越多国际知名企业纷至沓来。

据赵波书记介绍，目前中泰产业园除了与泰国两仪糖业集团发展糖产业以外，还充分挖掘泰国丰富的橡胶、农副产品等资源，进一步开拓中国和东盟市场。

“前不久中泰产业园与泰国一家橡胶木贸易商商谈了东盟木业交易项目，将通过他们把泰国橡胶木从广西防城港和钦州港运到中泰产业园来，形成中国—东盟木材集聚区。今后这个木材集聚区将相当于保税物流园区，企业可以在这里交易，再将货物发散到中国各地。”赵波书记说。此外，中泰产业园还与泰国第一个轮胎橡胶专业工业园——泰国立盛橡胶工业园签署协议，双方将在研发汽车轮胎等橡胶产品、共建“中国—泰国崇左立盛橡胶工业园”等方面开展合作。

而在农副产品方面，赵波书记表示，中泰产业园将引进泰国冰鲜榴莲等东盟国家的热带水果和台商的冷链物流技术，规划建设占地面积800～1000亩的中国—东盟食品冷链物流中心。“从友谊关到泰国曼谷的距离是1500公里，现在的物流条件只需要16个小时就可以到达，等水果进到中泰产业园后就可以通过冷链物流中心进行分拣，再推送到全国各地超市。该项目有利于提高水果的保鲜度，降低企业运营成本。”赵波书记表示。而且，中泰产业园下一步还将把这些从泰国等东盟国家引进来的农产品加工成轻工食品，如榴莲果干、榴莲饼等，以更好地提高产品附加值。

In Cooperation With Thai Enterprises,China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone Exploiting Domestic and International Markets and Resources

Written by Chen Libing / Translated by Ye Ye and Hu Yayi

Situated in the tropics and abundant in resources,Thailand is a main producer of diverse tropical cash crops that are of low prices, such as spices, rubber, durian and pineapples. And located in the border city of Chongzuo in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone(CTCCIDZ), is blessed with rich land, mineral and forest resources. 240 kilometers away from Vietnam’s Hanoi and 100 plus kilometers from Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port,CTCCIDZ serves as an important window for China’s opening up and cooperation with ASEAN countries.

Abundance of resources provides a guarantee for the development of CTCCIDZ, and superior geographical location enables the products from CTCCIDZ to be sold directly to China and ASEAN countries like Thailand. Therefore, many Thai enterprises that have found business opportunities have established presence there. In an interview with China-ASEAN Panorama,Zhao Bo, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone, said that CTCCIDZ will strengthen production capacity cooperation, and attract more enterprises at home and abroad through China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) and its sound cooperation partnership with Thailand, thus to make it a demonstration zone of China-Thailand cooperation and a new destination for corporate investment.

Upgrading sugar industry on the “sweet land” of Chongzuo

Known as the “sugar city in China”, Chongzuo produces two million metric tons of cane sugar annually, which accounts for one third of Guangxi’s total and one fifth of China’s respectively. The city ranks first among all prefectural-level cities in China in terms of the amount of sugarcane pressing and output of cane sugar for 14 consecutive crushing seasons.

25 years ago, Guangxi Nanning East Asia Sugar Group,China’sfirst foreign-funded enterprise in sugar industry as well as the largest Thailand-funded enterprise in Guangxi, was established in Chongzuo. With Mitr Phol Group, the biggest sugar group in Thailand, as its main foreign shareholder, and owning eight branches,including Guangxi Chongzuo East Asia Sugar Co., Ltd.,Guangxi Funan East Asia Sugar Co., Ltd., and Guangxi Ningming East Asia Sugar Co., Ltd., the group is committed to producing refined cane sugar and extension products such as yeast and biological fertilizers.

At the same time, in order to improve the comprehensive utilization rate of resources and make full use sugarcane in various ways, on September 15, 2017, Guangxi Chongzuo East Asia Sugar Co., Ltd. launched a sugar recycling economy and comprehensive utilization project in CTCCIDZ.

“The launch of the project marks the start of the construction of China (Guangxi) Sugar Industrial Park.With core area located in China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone, the sugar industrial park covers an area of 10 square kilometers.There are six areas with combined and shared functions,including a 266.8-hectare sugar intensive processing area,a 133.4-hectare sugar downstream industry and auxiliary materials producing area, a 233.45-hectare ASEAN featured food processing area, a 40.02-hectare port storage and logistics area, a 300.15-hectare special sugar town, and a 33.35-hectare Chinese sugar big data center.The sugar industrial park will integrate production,residence, business and sightseeing, promoting the automatic and intelligent development and information technology of Chongzuo’s sugar industry,” said Zhao Bo.At present, 65 percent of the construction of the park has been finished, and it is expected to be completed and put into operation in November 2018.

Besides, Zhao Bo also said that CTCCIDZ is negotiating cooperation with Carabao Tawandang Co., Ltd., one of the most in fluential energy drink enterprises in Thailand,with a view to using the technology of Guangxi Chongzuo East Asia Sugar Co. Ltd. to produce downstream products such as yeast, albumen powder, medicine, and cosmetics.

“By enhancing cooperation with ASEAN countries, and taking full advantage of both home and overseas resources and both domestic and international markets, we will strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the outside world, improve cooperation mechanisms, and explore models for further opening up. We will, by capitalizing on our unique and superior location and transport advantages, and plentiful resources, cultivate and guide the development of sugar and distinctive ASEAN industrial clusters, and extend sugar industrial chains,so as to build China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone into a demonstration base for sugar recycling industry,” said Zhao Bo.

Utilizing both home and overseas resources to tap into domestic and international markets

China’s sugar city of Chongzuo, where CTCCIDZ is located, is also a key link of the Belt and Road and a golden land access to ASEAN. Currently, under the pattern of “opening up across borders and over sea”, Chongzuo launched official vehicles and direct freight vehicles between China and Vietnam and the Shenzhen-Nanning-Pingxiang-Hanoi logistics route,and is participating in the development of the Southern Transport Corridor, and accelerating the construction of Chongqing-Pingxiang-ASEAN logistics route, providing the most convenient access connecting southwestern China with ASEAN, and further reducing logistics costs for enterprises.

Its geographical advantages bring CTCCIDZ massive Chinese and ASEAN markets with a population of 1.9 billion, and help it attract a growing number of internationally-renowned enterprises.

According to Zhao Bo, CTCCIDZ, while focusing on sugar industry in working with Mitr Phol Group, also develop rubber and other agricultural and sideline products to further expand Chinese and ASEAN markets.

“Recently, we had a negotiation with a Thai rubber wood trader, through which we will be transport Thai rubber wood to China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone via Fangcheng Port and Qinzhou Port to establish a China-ASEAN wood industrial cluster district. In the future, the cluster district will serve as a bonded logistics zone, where enterprises can conduct business and then deliver their goods to other parts of China,” said Zhao Bo. Furthermore, CTCCIDZ inked an agreement with LK Rubber Industrial City Hub (LK-RICH), the first tire rubber industrial park in Thailand, to cooperate on the research and development of rubber products like automobile tires, and co-building of“China-Thailand Chongzuo LK-RICH Rubber Industrial Park”.

In terms of agricultural and sideline products, Zhao Bo said that tropical fruits from ASEAN like Thai durian and cold chain logistics technologies from China’s Taiwan will be introduced in CTCCIDZ, and a China-ASEAN food cold chain logistics center covering an area of 53.36 to 66.7 hectares is planned to be built. “Under the current logistics conditions, it takes only 16 hours for Thai fruits to be transported from Bangkok to Pingxiang Friendship Pass in Guangxi, which covers a distance of 1,500 kilometers. After the fruits are delivered to China-Thailand Chongzuo Comprehensive Industrial Development Zone, they will be sorted at the cold chain logistics center and then sent to supermarkets across China. In this way, the freshness of the fruits can be maintained and operating costs of enterprises be cut,” he said. Moreover, these ASEAN agricultural products will be processed into food in CTCCIDZ, such as dried durian and durian cakes.
