Express orders are constantly spit out from the printer, and the news of “Ding Ding Dong Dong” rings from time to time, and vehicles are full of goods and drive to all parts of the country … Recently, I entered the Agricultural Innovation Park in the suburb village of Chongfu Town, Tongxiang City, where the busy scene shows the vitality of modern agricultural development to the fullest.
A network cable can become gold. In the China Insect-eating Plant Garden in the Agricultural Innovation Park, Liu Guoming, the person in charge, is busy distributing goods for users who have just placed an order. The average sales of 250 orders a day and more than 400 orders a day during the peak period kept him busy. Pointing to the full shelves on the side, he said, “Five people are too busy just to distribute goods.” Every afternoon, the courier will come to pick up the goods on time, and every time it is a whole car. In 2017, his online sales of insect-eating plants reached more than 3 million yuan.
Jeff, a post-80s “gardener”, has the same experience as Liu Guoming. He contracted two plots in Tudian Town and Chongfu Town to plant flowers such as Chinese rose, and sold his products to the whole country through the Internet. In 2017, the sales reached more than 7 million yuan, of which the courier fee accounted for 10% of the total cost.
“There are more than 600 single express delivery in the peak season.” Jeff said, “The online store business is very good, and the courier fee will double this year.”
In Tongxiang, more and more “new farmers” rely on the increasingly developed express delivery industry, and their sales territory continues to expand, achieving leap-forward growth in sales. Behind the express orders are Tongxiang traditional agriculture developed by “internet plus”. It is reported that in 2017, the city achieved a total of 661.4 million yuan in agricultural online marketing, of which the direct online sales amounted to 553.7 million yuan.
