A distinctive fruit from Zhenning county in Southwest China's Guizhou province, known as the honey plum, recently arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, after a two-hour flight from Guiyang.

近日，采摘自贵州省镇宁布依族苗族自治县六马镇的特色水果——蜂糖李，从贵阳经过2个多小时空运抵达泰国曼谷。

This marks the first time the fruit, which is grown in the mountainous regions of Guizhou, has been exported to the country.

这是这种产自贵州山区的水果首次出口泰国。

The honey plum, named for its honey-like sweetness, is large with a small pit and has a crispy texture. Zhenning is currently home to over 220,000 mu (14,666.67 hectares) of planting area for honey plums, with a total output value exceeding 3 billion yuan ($423.73 million).

蜂糖李因其入口似蜂蜜一般清甜而得名，其果大、核小，入口酥脆，是中国李子水果市场的头部产品。目前，镇宁县境内的蜂糖李种植面积达22万余亩，总产值超30亿元。

As a pilot area for inland open economy, Guizhou has recently accelerated opening-up, focusing on ASEAN as a key region for deepening cooperation. In 2023, Guizhou's total import and export volume with ASEAN reached 16.06 billion yuan, a 4.2-percent year-on-year increase and accounting for 21 percent of the province's total import and export volume.

作为中国内陆开放型经济试验区，贵州省近年来加快“走出去”步伐，把东盟作为扩大开放、深化合作的重点区域。2023年，贵州对东盟进出口总额160.6亿元、增长4.2%，占全省进出口总额的21%。

In mid-May of this year, during a visit to Thailand by a delegation of the Guizhou government, it was mentioned that Guizhou hopes to deepen practical cooperation with Thai business associations and enterprises in areas such as cultural tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, and trade.

今年5月中旬，贵州省政府负责人率团访问泰国时提到，贵州茶叶、辣椒、刺梨、肉牛等农业特色优势产业发展迅速，希望与泰国商协会、企业围绕文化旅游、制造业、农业、贸易等领域深化务实合作。

With relevant cooperation agreements gradually coming into effect, Guizhou will further deepen trade cooperation with Thailand. At the same time, it will import specialty agricultural products and other goods from Thailand.

业界人士表示，随着相关合作协议逐步落地，贵州将在现有基础上，和泰国进一步深化商贸合作。同时，贵州也将从泰国进口特色农产品等商品，让更多泰国的优质产品走进中国。
