The newly established platform will focus on core sectors such as metals and minerals, energy and chemicals, agricultural products, and building materials. By integrating upstream and downstream production, warehousing, logistics, and financial resources, the platform aims to build a "one-stop" trading service system. It combines online listing, bid-based trading, and offline performance supervision to achieve the integration of four key flows – commerce, logistics, capital, and information.
In terms of operational mechanisms, the platform introduces third-party quality inspection, warehouse receipt certification, and a transaction fund custody system to ensure transaction transparency and risk control. Meanwhile, it collaborates with multiple commercial banks to provide supply chain financial support, helping member enterprises ease the pressure on working capital during large-scale procurements.
The establishment of the platform holds significant meaning:
1、Improving circulation efficiency and reducing costs. By minimizing traditional multi-level distribution channels and directly matching original suppliers with end buyers, the platform is expected to reduce procurement costs by 5% to 10% and shorten transaction cycles by more than 30%.
2、Building a credit system and mitigating risks. The platform's electronic warehouse receipt registration and public disclosure system effectively prevents risks such as duplicate pledges and fraudulent receipts, providing a reliable foundation for bulk commodity pledge financing.
3、Facilitating price discovery and enhancing market influence. By aggregating global real-time trading data and regularly publishing category-specific price indices, the platform helps strengthen the pricing power of international bulk commodities in regional and even global markets.
A representative of the platform stated that it will strictly adhere to compliant operations, gradually expand cross-border service networks, and strive to achieve an annual transaction volume exceeding RMB 100 billion within three years, providing strong support for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and supply chain stability in the global real economy
