Storyline


In 2017, the Chinese central government spent over 700 million yuan to build 36 national-level e-commerce demonstration counties in northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, where many farmers have since been significantly benefited.

In just 10 days, red dates will flow to the markets across China and Abulaiti, a farmer in Toksun County, is expected to earn an estimated 70,000 yuan from selling his red dates.

As part of the governmental efforts to publicize online retailing, many farmers like Abulaiti are assisted by e-commerce project managers with their products. From testing the sweetness to the packaging of the product -- all these steps will be helped by computers and eventually bring a better profit to the farmer.

"Now with the help of e-commerce, we have more sales channels, so more sales, more income for farmers, and a better life," said Abulaiti.

Abulaiti added that last year he was urgently looking for buyers the traditional way. Thanks to e-commerce, five tons of red dates were quickly sold out this year.

As more buyers become keen about Xinjiang's products, more farmers are producing more produce -- a ripple effect every farmer likes to see.

Xinjiang has over 12 million netizens. Local authorities say they have also set up service stations to train people how to use the internet and make online transactions.

Zhao Peng is another of the beneficiaries of selling products online.

With the help of Toksun County's e-commerce industrial park, through training and rural logistics, his sales channels have broadened and he has connects with more potential buyers. From selling five tons of red dates per year the traditional way to now 11 tons, business opportunities are pouring in for Zhao Peng.

"In the past, we sold the red dates in the traditional order-oriented method. We could not see the feedback from the customers, nor did we know how to make improvements. Now with online selling, we can directly learn about the customers' demands and improve accordingly," he said.

Nationally, with 569 million online shoppers, China saw its online retail sales shoot up by over 30 percent to 4.08 trillion yuan (about 594 billion U.S. dollars) in the first half of 2018.
