To increase transport resources, the railway sector has enhanced communication with other authorities. As the peak period for grain transportation approaches, CR has strengthened cooperation with major grain enterprises such as China Grain Reserves Group and China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation, as well as key grain transport ports including Dalian Port, Rizhao Port, Guangzhou Port and Beibu Gulf. By proactively gathering information on domestic grain shipments to ports and the port distribution needs of imported grain, railways have ensured timely dispatch of empty trains and containers to ports. Based on grain sales and vessel arrival schedules, railways have also allocated transport capacity in advance, organizing direct grain trains between coastal ports and inland areas, and enriching the rail-water intermodal grain transport products.
