Lemon business hits the tracks to sweet success

Businessman Dai Xiaoping never expected that the lemons handled by his company would one day reach overseas dining tables, but the Belt and Road Initiative proved to be a turning point.

Dai, the founder of lemon processing company the Huida Group, which was established in 2012 and is based in Chongqing's Tongnan district, said his lemons had not been exported before the BRI was proposed in 2013.

"The BRI brought overseas buyers to Tongnan and helped them get to know about our business," he said.
