Sichuan JiuYe provides cross border one-stop supply chain services to agriculture, food e-commerce and food companies in China and abroad. It’s man export market is eastern Europe and major import markets are Australia, North America and Europe.
The company says by using DB Schenker as a freight forwarding provider for its perishable goods, it will benefit from a strong global network and extensive market experience as it looks to grow its business in current and new markets.
DB Schenker considers JiuYe as an important strategic partner to strengthen and develop its footprint in the perishable sector in China.
