Optimistic about Hainan’s future, LF Logistics signed cooperation agreement to build Global Consumer Boutique Center in Hainan to deepen its presence in the region

At the expo, LF Logistics signed a cooperation agreement with Hainan Development Holdings Co., Ltd to jointly build Global Consumer Boutique Center in Hainan, an important step in support of the Hainan Free Trade Port and facilitating consumption by tourists in the region.  Located in the Hainan Free Trade Port, the center aims to provide a world-class trading platform with the most ideal trade policies and incentives, further supporting the development of Hainan’s economy.

LF Logistics has always been committed to Hainan’s business development and continues to deepen its local presence. In October 2020, the LF Logistics team visited the Hainan International Economic Development Bureau and had in-depth discussions with government officials on the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Both parties exchanged ideas on building up a distribution center for high-end consumer goods from multiple retail platforms and channels such as bonded and tax-free e-commerce. During the 3rd China International Import Expo (CIIE), the team met with the Hainan government delegation to discuss its cooperation for Hainan Expo. In December 2020, LF Logistics and the Hainan International Economic Development Bureau signed a memorandum of cooperation at the Hainan Duty Free Market Business Development Forum. The two parties agreed to strengthen cooperation in the Hainan supply chain industry and jointly promote the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port.

Moving forward, LF Logistics will continue to expand their local footprint and introduce innovative technologies and smart platforms, contributing to the advancement of logistics facilities in the Hainan Free Trade Port. In addition, LF Logistics will leverage its global resources and business networks to seize new opportunities and realize their goal of becoming the go-to supply chain service provider in Hainan.

A legacy of more than 100 years, connecting the world through smart supply chain to jointly embrace prosperity

As the largest special economic zone in China, Hainan has the unique role in promoting the further opening up and deepening reform of the country’s economy. Fung Group’s support and participation in the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port will continue to bring synergies with partners along the supply chain, connecting domestic and international companies around the world.

Stephen Fung, Fung Group China President, said, “The development strategies for the Hainan Free Trade Zone, the Greater Bay Area, together with the ‘One Belt, One Road’ plan will collectively unlock the potential of market growth in China. As a global leader in supply chain solutions for consumer goods, Fung Group is committed to deepening its presence in China and strengthening cooperation with industry partners to build safer, more efficient and resilient supply chains as we jointly embrace prosperity together.”
