马达加斯加总理访湘第一站，为何是长沙一家超市？

On Sept. 14, Madagascar’s Prime Minister Mamitiana Rajaonarison visited a supermarket in Changsha, Hunan, China, to see how mutton from his country was reaching Chinese consumers.

9月14日，马达加斯加总理 Mamitiana Rajaonarison 到访中国湖南，第一站走进长沙一家超市，看看来自本国的羊肉如何进入中国消费者的日常生活。

There’s a bigger story behind that supermarket shelf: in September 2024, the first shipment of frozen mutton from Madagascar cleared customs in Hunan, marking China’s first mutton import from Africa. From Madagascar to Changsha, a trade route across the Indian Ocean is now showing up on everyday supermarket shelves.

这块货架背后还有一段跨洲故事：2024年9月，首批马达加斯加冷冻羊肉在湖南完成通关，成为中国首次从非洲进口羊肉。从马达加斯加到中国长沙，一条跨越印度洋的贸易链正在变得越来越“看得见”。
