The "135" three-step initiative is set to be implemented in Yangpu.

In the next three years, the effect of FTP policies will be further released, bringing more improved trade and investment; in addition, the business environment is expected to reach the domestic first-class level. In the next five years, an integrated development pattern of Danzhou and Yangpu will be basically formed, and the coordinated output of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries will be improved. The Yangpu International Shipping Hub for the new western land-sea freight route and regional infrastructure integration are set to be basically completed.

“We will implement the policies well and continue to strengthen institutional innovation to optimize the business environment. Our focus will be also on some new policies, for example, extending the value-added policy from Yangpu Bonded Port Area to the entire Yangpu Economic Development Zone, in preparation for the independent customs operation by 2025,” said Wang Jianqin, deputy director of Yangpu Economic Development Zone Working Committee.

This year, Yangpu also attaches importance to economic quality and industrial structure. A green high-end petrochemical materials base, a new energy industry and manufacturing base, as well as a health food port are set to be built.
