Recently, the Office of the State Post Bureau, the General Office of the Ministry of Transport, the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas, and the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the List of Demonstration Projects for the Coordinated Development of Rural E-commerce and Express Delivery. It is agreed that Ezhou aquatic products project should be established as a modern agriculture demonstration project after going through the procedures of list declaration, level recommendation, provincial verification, expert evaluation and public announcement, etc.
In recent years, Ezhou has attached great importance to the construction of rural delivery logistics system, constantly optimized the node construction of rural delivery logistics system, and continue to promote the work of express delivery into villages. Last year, Ezhou issued the Work Plan for Ezhou City to Solve the Issue of the Rural Delivery Logistics for “the last kilometer” and “the first kilometer”. Up to now, Yuantong Express, Zhongtong Express, Jitu Express and other enterprises have subsequently set up regional distribution warehouse in Central China. While China Post, SF Express, Zhongtong Express, Shentong Express, Yuantong Express, Jitu Express, Yunda Express and other enterprises have actively participated in the “express delivery into the village” project. All administrative villages in Ezhou have achieved full coverage of village-level delivery and logistics service outlets, which can effectively meet the needs of the residents in rural areas to receive and send express mails without leaving the village. The express delivery industry in Ezhou has continued to increase the supply of services, by constantly innovating the service model and driving Liangzihu crabs, Zhaoshan silverfish and other agricultural products out of the village and into the city. The volume of express delivery business exceeded 200 million pieces for the first time. We have made remarkable achievements in promoting the efficiency of agricultural products circulation, increasing farmers’ income and promoting the revitalization of rural areas.
