As a key leading enterprise in the wholesale of agricultural products in Xinjiang, Jiuding Group takes advantage of the export-oriented economic policy of the 12th Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Through in-depth cooperation with Altyn Orda fruit and vegetable market, it has created a collection and direct procurement model across "two countries" (China and Kazakhstan) and "two markets" (the Jiuding fruit and vegetable market and Altyn Orda fruit and vegetable market).

Since the establishment of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ), with the strong support of the customs department, the "comprehensive service model for fruit and vegetable export" that has been explored and implemented by Jiuding Group in 2024 has been selected as one of the second batch of provincial institutional innovation achievements and typical cases within the FTZ. In 2025, it also implemented the "TIR+ green channel for fast customs clearance of agricultural and sideline products" mode in Urumqi. Now, the cross-border transport of fruits and vegetables from Xinjiang Jiuding fruit and vegetable market to Almaty Altyn Orda fruit and vegetable market can be achieved within 24 hours.

As the largest fruit and vegetable wholesale market in Xinjiang, Xinjiang Jiuding Agricultural Products Wholesale Market has a strong agricultural products distribution capacity and agricultural products import and export industrial base. In 2024, Jiuding Group has achieved a transaction volume of 4.1355 million tons and a transaction volume of 32.66 billion yuan (about 4.47 billion U.S. dollars), which is responsible for more than 85 percent of the fruit and vegetable supply in Xinjiang.

In the future, Jiuding Group will serve and integrate into the new development pattern, deepen the special agricultural products resources, continue to expand the opening up to the outside world, create a one-stop service base for the export of agricultural products to countries participating in Belt and Road Initiative, and promote the domestic and international double cycle of agricultural products trading with high quality.
