The Future of E-commerce for Fresh Produce

For the fresh produce industry, E-commerce has gradually become the key in the past several years. With a huge amount of money invested, E-commerce and supply chain management is making significant changes in the industry. The traditional mode of production, trade and consumption will be replaced by the new model that can provide higher quality, lower cost, more convenience and more comprehensive services.

Since early 2014, several online fresh produce service providers, have been focusing on exploring the B2B (Business-to-Business) + O2O(Online and Offline) mode of innovation and development, and have gradually become the leading enterprises in the fresh produce industry.

One of the leading online service providers, “xebest”, focuses on building the platform between producers and consumers. It can be considered the B2B version of Amazon for the fresh produce industry.

B2B+O2O: The platform can help both businesses (producers and consumers) by exploring more opportunities while guaranteeing the security of online transactions. Meanwhile, xebest can provide supply chain service offline to improve efficiency and quality of the cold-chain.

This online service provider currently has 18 temperature-controlled warehouses in China, with the storage capacity of 1.8 million cubic meters, and more than 3000 trucks that can cover 360 cities across the country.

E-commerce and supply chain management will continue to increase the success of the fresh produce industry in the future.
