China's e-commerce logistics is rapidly expanding to the country's rural areas, bringing convenience to local residents while helping farmers explore consumer markets for agriculture products nationwide.
The rapid development of e-commerce logistic in rural areas has driven agricultural product consumption and boosted local residents' income.
In Hualin Village, southwest China's Sichuan Province, a newly established e-commerce express delivery station brings villagers convenient online shopping experience. "Nowadays, e-commerce logistics is so convenient, making it the same living in rural and urban areas. It is very convenient for us to buy things we need. We can buy it with just one click on our mobile phone, and it will be delivered to our homes very quickly," said Liu Zhuangkui, a villager. The e-commerce delivery station serves as a platform connecting Hualin Village to the market outside.
This year, the village has started to use passenger mini-buses to deliver parcels while transporting commuters, making it easier to accurately deliver packages to buyers in rural areas.
"With passenger mini-buses being used to deliver goods, villagers can receive express deliveries in a timely manner, and sell their agricultural products quickly. It not only brings villagers convenience, but also reduces labor and transportation costs," said Liu Wenming, the person in charge of the e-commerce delivery station in Hualin Village.
In Yougang Village, central China's Hunan Province, village officials and villagers work together every day to promote local specialties like radish strips and cured meat via live-streaming.
During this year's "Double 11" online shopping festival, Chongyang Village, located in east China's Zhejiang Province, saw up to 5,000 parcels sending out in a single day thanks to live-streaming, which makes their local agricultural products more popular.
