After on-site and in-lab quarantine inspections, Zhongshan Customs officers issued an electronic ledger and a phytosanitary certificate for a batch of tissue culture seedlings of Brilliland, a horticultural company in Zhongshan, a few days ago. The seedlings would be exported to New Zealand later.

Brilliland is an enterprise independently cultivates, develops, produces and sells tissue culture seedlings. Its main products, mainly Caladium bicolor and Sempervivum tectorum, are sold to many countries and regions around the world. "We are actively expanding the Belt and Road markets, and in recent years we have tapped into such emerging markets as South Korea and New Zealand," said Yuan Lu, an export business staff member of Brilliland.

Various kinds of tissue culture seedlings cultivated with new technologies are being exported to the world, and potted plants based on traditional Lingnan bonsai techniques are also being sold to Eurasia along the Silk Road. In October this year, official sources from Uzbekistan reported that more than 4,000 potted bonsai from Weiguang Garden Center in Zhongshan's Huangpu Town had finished customs clearance. These bonsai from China's Lingnan area are about to appear at local people's homes.

In the first three quarters this year, some 205,000 flower seedlings, worth 1.435 million yuan, were exported to Belt and Road countries under the quarantine supervision of Zhongshan Customs.
