Wang Baofeng is one of China new breed of rural entrepreneur. He was a simple farmer in Changge county, when he rented his neighbours land and expanded his farm to 1,000 mu or about 160 hectares. The 43-year-old has since hired more than 40 farmhands and last September he took his business online.
“Our business model used to be focused on selling directly to local supermarkets and restaurants. It was hard to expand our customer base, so we started our online business about seven months ago. Online sales have far exceeded our expectations. We’ve very happy,” said Wang Baofeng, manager of Henan Yuxing Agricultural Development Company.
Wang receives about 20 orders a day on his farm’s website. During harvest he’s also received orders worth 30,000 yuan a day from his link on Taobao, China’s largest retail 3 platform.
Wang is not the only farmer to take advantage of the Internet. Some 125 million rural residents in China are now connected to the web.
And Henan province – one of China’s most rural, most densely 4 populated and least developed – is using the internet to give local farmers a hand-up in the world of e-commerce.
“We’ve been developing e-commerce for rural farmers for 10 years. It has boosted the province’s rural economy by at least 1.6 billion yuan a year. The next step is to improve farmers’ websites and guarantee the quality of their produce,”Wu Yuanqi said, he is director of E-Commerce, Henan Provincial 5 Administration of Commerce.
The internet is not only helping 6 put cash in farmer’s pockets it’s also helping them boost output. Wang and his staff take online courses sponsored by China Unicom. They’re learning new farming techniques so they can grow fresher, Greener’ crops that are in high demand.
