“This accomplishment is particularly remarkable considering that fresh milk is classified as a high-risk food category in China,” Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said.

“Peloris has maintained uninterrupted weekly shipments, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, and achieved zero cold chain non-compliance.”

Mr Singh highlighted the bespoke systems implemented by Peloris, which include export preparation, clearance protocols, and the capability to track the location and temperature of every delivery.

“I am incredibly proud that a local business has managed to significantly elevate Australian agri-business on the map in China,” Mr Singh said.

“This success is a testament to the robust logistics and quality control measures in place and the dedication of Peloris’ teams in Australia and China, working together to deliver a seamless gate-to-shelf export experience for Australian food producers and Chinese customers.

Peloris Managing Director Peter Verry noted that his team collaborated closely with the General Administration of Customs China (GACC) to develop China’s first fresh milk Fastlane clearance pilot.

Currently, Peloris is one of only three importers globally accredited by GACC Shanghai for the fresh milk Fastlane program, reducing import clearance times to under 24 hours.

“We have made over 500 shipments of fresh milk to China, and this year, we expect to deliver more than 1.6 million litres of fresh milk, along with shipments of fresh yoghurt and other fresh foods,” Mr Verry said.

“Supplying fresh milk weekly direct to Shanghai for distribution across China during COVID-19 was crucial for farmers who otherwise would have been significantly impacted.”
