Intraday Stock Chart
Today : Wednesday 13 February 2013
China Logistics Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CHLO), an international freight forwarder and logistics management company, announced today that it sees shipping volumes doubling in 2013 for its South American route out of Shanghai launched in 2012.
China Logistics began offering freight forwarding services from China to destinations in South America in March of 2012. Trade between China and South America has increased significantly in the past ten years due in large part to strong economic growth in countries like Brazil and Argentina. Management's decision to begin providing freight forwarding services to Brazil and Argentina out of Shanghai in 2012 led to the Company achieving freight volume of 3,000 TEU or, twenty foot equivalent units, generating revenue for the year from the South American route of approximately $720,000 with $139,000 in gross profit. In 2013, management expects its shipping business to the South America route to double to volumes of at least 6,000 TEU generating revenue over $1,400,000.
Danny Chen, Chairman and CEO of China Logistics Group, commented, "According to Chinese Trade Ministry Counselor Yu Zhong, trade between China and Latin America increased by 1,200% from $10 billion to $130 billion between 2000 and 2009 with the value of trade increasing to $241.5 billion in 2011. Only the United States was a larger trading partner in 2011. The top five nations in this trade zone were Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Venezuela and Argentina. Management believes ongoing economic expansion in South America represent a perfect business opportunity for the company to expand its coverage area. Management believes growth in volume for its South America route has the potential to grow for the foreseeable future and will become one of its largest revenue generating shipping routes within the next several years."
