Kuang Qiao - vice-president of the fruit's mainland distributor, Chaoda Modern Agriculture (Holdings) Limited - said the company plans to spend 200 million yuan (US$25 million) to build the mainland's first logistics centre "to help Taiwanese agricultural products to be distributed on a larger scale."

Currently Mawei, linked to Taiwan's Matsu Island by a ship route, has plans for a 5,000-square-metre distribution centre and a 3,000-square-metre warehouse to handle Taiwanese fruit, according to a Xinhua News Agency report.

In Xiamen, the First Cross-Straits Book Trade Fair, set for July 29-31, is co-sponsored by publishing industries on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.

The fair will break a mainland directive that Taiwanese books can be exhibited on the mainland but not offered for sale, said Bai Jingzhao, director of Fujian Provincial Press and Publication Bureau.

"The fair will become the largest of its kind in the number of Taiwan participants and exhibited books," Bai said.

More than 50,000 books published in the past two years in the island province, along with about 150,000 mainland books, will be exhibited.

According to the organizing committee, the fair will be held annually alternating between the mainland and Taiwan.
