The international wood train services from Russia to Guangyuan and from New Zealand to Guangyuan have been successfully launched, opening up international channels for importing timber from the two countries. The Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu International Wood Trade Centre covers 132 mu (about 8.8 hectares) with a floor area of 17,000 square metres. It operates under the model of 'local state-owned enterprise + nationally renowned wood market + wood distributors', encompassing functions such as loading/unloading, warehousing, display and sales.

Guangyuan has attracted 11 wood distribution enterprises, 6 logistics companies and 5 hardware and building materials enterprises, forming an integrated pattern of 'import processing – trade – logistics'. After factoring in subsidy policies from various regions, the overall logistics cost can be reduced by more than 50%. In the next step, Guangyuan aims to achieve a wood trade volume of 50,000 cubic metres and a trade value exceeding 100 million yuan in 2023; by 2027, it plans to have 3 leading wood trading enterprises and 75 distributors, achieving a trade volume of 1.5 million cubic metres and a trade value exceeding 3 billion yuan, with overall costs further reduced by over 10%, becoming a core hub connecting domestic and international markets.

For small and medium-sized enterprise owners in New Zealand, especially timber exporters, the launch of international train services to Guangyuan means a new channel to China's western market. A reduction of over 50% in logistics costs directly enhances the price competitiveness of New Zealand timber, but note that Russian timber enjoys the same low freight rates, so competition will intensify. It is recommended to pay attention to the admission policies of the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu International Wood Trade Centre and establish warehousing and distribution networks in advance.

The centre's target trade value of 3 billion yuan by 2027 indicates strong government support; SMEs can leverage this to enter the supply chain for furniture and construction timber. At the same time, be vigilant about exchange rate fluctuations and differences in quarantine standards; it is advisable to cooperate with local importers to mitigate risks.

俄罗斯—广元和新西兰—广元国际木材班列成功开行，打通进口两国木材的国际通道。川陕甘国际木材贸易中心占地132亩、建筑面积1.7万平方米，采用'地方国企+全国知名木材市场+木材经销商'模式运营，涵盖装卸、仓储、展示、销售等功能。广元已吸引11家木材经销企业、6家物流企业和3家五金建材企业入驻，形成'进口加工—贸易—物流'一体化格局。

叠加各地补贴政策后，综合物流成本可降低50%以上。下一步，广元力争2023年木材贸易量达5万立方米、贸易额突破1亿元；到2027年，入驻木材贸易龙头企业3家、经销商75家，实现贸易量150万立方米、贸易额突破30亿元，综合成本再降10%以上，成为连接国内外市场的核心节点。

对于新西兰中小企业主，尤其木材出口商，广元国际班列的开行意味着中国西部市场的新通道。物流成本降低50%以上，直接提升新西兰木材的价格竞争力，但需注意俄罗斯木材同样享受低运费，竞争将加剧。建议关注川陕甘国际木材贸易中心入驻政策，提前布局仓储与分销网络。

该中心目标2027年贸易额30亿元，显示政府强力扶持，中小企业可借势进入家具、建筑用材供应链。同时警惕汇率波动与检疫标准差异，建议与当地进口商合作规避风险。
