CCTV Joins Hands with Suning and Other E-commerce Platforms to Support Hubei

After the national epidemic situation entered a slowing-down phase, various regions and industries entered the stage of resuming work and production. Due to the impact of the epidemic, agricultural products in Hubei faced the problem of poor sales channels. Recently, Suning joined hands with CCTV News to launch the special event "Thank You for Ordering for Hubei," helping the sales of Hubei's specialty agricultural and sideline products, and received a favorable report from CCTV News.

In the CCTV News broadcast on April 2, CCTV reported under the title "Helping Production and Sales, All Sectors Assist the Promotion of Hubei Agricultural and Sideline Products," covering e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and Suning expanding the production and sales channels for Hubei agricultural and sideline products. CCTV News New Media will also cooperate with e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and Suning through the "Fighting the Epidemic Together" livestreaming platform to launch a series of livestreaming events to assist farmers, helping local farmers solve the backlog problems of agricultural and sideline products such as Zigui navel oranges and Qianjiang crayfish.

Spring is the season when all things grow, and it is also the peak season for the production and sales of agricultural and sideline products. As an old proverb says, when Huguang is ripe, the world has enough. Hubei is a major agricultural province in our country, rich in products such as lotus root, crayfish, and freshwater live fish. At present, helping Hubei's specialty agricultural products open up sales channels has become an important issue facing governments at all levels in Hubei. On April 1, Suning joined hands with CCTV to launch the "Thank You for Ordering for Hubei" event, and at the same time issued "13 Measures to Aid Hubei," joining with governments, merchants, and farmers in many places in Hubei to provide comprehensive and detailed assistance plans in many aspects such as store settlement, livestreaming guidance, and store operation, precisely helping Jingchu merchants open up sales channels.

On the homepage of Suning.com, there is the special event "Thank You for Ordering for Hubei," which consumers can reach with one click. The venue is filled with Jingchu specialties, including Mingqian new tea from Wufeng, the hometown of Chinese famous tea, Zigui's unique Lunwan navel oranges, Zhou Hei Ya braised duck necks, North Honghu lotus root, Xiaogan original rice wine, and Hubei crayfish, with rich varieties.

Consumers' enthusiasm for ordering for Hubei is high. On April 1 alone, the first-day sales of Hubei specialty products on Suning.com increased by 1962.95% month-on-month, cumulatively helping Hubei farmers sell nearly 20 million jin of agricultural and sideline products. Among them, Three Gorges green tea, Zhou Hei Ya, crayfish, Xiaogan rice wine, and hot dry noodles became hot-selling items. The top five cities by orders were Nanjing, Wuxi, Hefei, Wuhu, and Shanghai.

Next, Suning.com will also successively put more Hubei specialty products on shelves, such as Qianjiang crayfish from Hubei, and through more policy倾斜 and traffic support, give full play to the platform's advantages, arrange for Suning Logistics and Tiantian Express to connect with local agricultural product projects in Hubei, help the sales of agricultural and sideline products in Hubei, and bring more Hubei specialty good products to consumers across the country.

Previously, there had been rumors in society that "Hubei fruit cannot be eaten." Deng Xiuxin, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and known as the "Citrus Academician," refuted this as early as March 2, saying that "fruit does not have legs and will not infect people." In an interview, Deng Xiuxin said that plants are not hosts of the novel coronavirus, and the virus will not shuttle between plants and humans; the virus can survive for only a short time after leaving the host, and agricultural goods and fruits that have undergone long-distance transportation cannot still have the virus attached. Therefore, consumers can buy agricultural and sideline products from Hubei with confidence.

Do not say that spring scenery is hard to embrace; with united hearts, flowers will bloom on their own. We may not necessarily have the opportunity to risk our lives for Hubei, but ordering for Hubei now is making a contribution to the resumption of work and production in Hubei.
