Tailored by BCTA to meet the group\u2019s interests, the itinerary covered major industrial and logistics hubs in Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants visited smart warehouses, ERP-integrated factories, e-commerce fulfillment centers, shipping terminals, and logistics tech companies. These visits offered a rare look into the end-to-end supply chain \u2014 from production planning to last-mile delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve shifted from browsing catalogs to witnessing operations in real time,\u201d said a representative from a leading Bahamian retail group. \u201cThis experience is instrumental in helping us build efficient procurement models and long-term supply strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trip also featured a <strong>China-Bahamas Supply Chain Matchmaking  meeting<\/strong>, where Bahamian delegates met directly with Chinese manufacturers, logistics providers, and platform operators. Topics discussed included OEM partnerships, integrated warehousing and distribution, raw material sourcing, and shared shipping corridors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BCTA reaffirmed its commitment to delivering end-to-end services \u2014 from on-site visits to business matchmaking and project execution \u2014 helping Caribbean companies engage more deeply with China\u2019s industrial networks, while offering Chinese firms a reliable path into Caribbean markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
