Since its launch in 2018, the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port has gone through five years. This year, Hainan Province has fully launched preparations for island wide customs clearance operations. The Yangpu Economic Development Zone in Danzhou City undertakes the important task of being a pilot and demonstration zone for the free trade port. How does the local government try first without mature experience to follow? Take a look at the journalist's research.
Ausca Grain and Oil, located in the bonded port area of Yangpu Economic Development Zone, is the first large-scale physical enterprise introduced here after the release of the overall plan for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port in 2020.
Zhang Hui, the head of the enterprise, told reporters that the production of the enterprise has now been on the right track, but looking back on the landing in Yangpu, it was quite difficult. Three years ago, the factory area was still a wasteland covered in bushes. With the help of the government, enterprises worked three shifts a day to catch up with the project schedule. It only took half a year from start to completion, setting a record for the fastest speed for enterprises to settle in and build factories in Yangpu Economic Development Zone.

Zhang Hui, Chairman of Hainan Ausca International Grain and Oil Co., Ltd.: It's not to compete for the fastest construction speed of the free trade port, it's to compete for the pressure testing time of the free trade port.
The significant increase in factory construction speed has won time for Zhang Hui's enterprise, making it one of the first stress testing enterprises in Yangpu Economic Development Zone. During the stress testing period, due to system incompatibility among multiple local departments, products produced by Zhang Hui Enterprise were unable to enjoy the new policy of tariff reduction. The local government promptly identified the problem and improved the system loopholes by coordinating with multiple departments such as customs, finding ways for enterprises to adapt to new policies.
The government services are in place, and more and more market entities are gathering here. At present, the number of registered enterprises has increased from over 2900 to nearly 15000. In order to better integrate resources and serve enterprises, the integrated development decision between Danzhou City and Yangpu Economic Development Zone was officially implemented in 2021. In order to continuously improve the business environment, the first Business Environment Construction Bureau of Hainan Province was established here in April last year; One month later, Danzhou City also introduced the system of enterprise service commissioners.

Liu Tong, Director and Chief Service Commissioner of the Science and Technology and Industrial Information Development Bureau of Danzhou City, Hainan Province: We have informed the Enterprise Service Commissioner that no matter what issues the enterprise has, you will accept all orders, making the enterprise feel that there are government departments serving it.
The improvement of the business environment and the implementation of preferential policies have accelerated the pace of enterprises. In 2022, the revenue growth rate of enterprises in Yangpu Economic Development Zone was 50.5%, and the total value of trade imports and exports increased by 35.6% year-on-year, accounting for nearly half of the province.
Zhang Zheng, Deputy Director of the Office of the Comprehensive Deepening Reform Commission of the Hainan Provincial Party Committee: Currently, the management model of Yangpu Development Zone, which takes the lead in policy experimentation, is also being innovated. This will provide experience for the expansion of policies to the entire island after the closure of the island. Yangpu will continue to play a demonstration role and continue to be an important engine for the high-quality development of the free trade port at a high level of openness.
