After the free trade zone is launched, Luzhou will rely on its port advantages to strive to establish a national open port, actively promote the establishment of designated ports for the entry of grain, timber, meat, etc., and actively strive for in-depth cooperation with cities along the Yangtze River and western provinces and cities to build port trade development
