In an effort to help reduce logistic costs and control household bills, the State Council has issued a circular covering a raft of measures including waiving road tolls for all trucks carrying fresh grocery and live poultry as of 1 December.

A so-called Green Channel has been created for a range of agricultural produce. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts have been added to an existing catalogue of items. For trucks carrying an allowable mixture of catalogue and non-catalogued produce, the tolls will be waived as well.
