Amid piles of cardboard cartons in the dimly lit upper storeys of Kerry Logistics’ Yantian warehouse in southern China, workers fill boxes for export, pulling shirts in the right mix of sizes for each destination store from a row of shelves.
The boxes will later be put into a container, taken to the neighouring Yantian container terminal and put on a ship, probably to the US – the main destination for goods from this eastern side of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone bordering Hong Kong.
