Why do agricultural products always take people by surprise?
Agricultural products have become the recent market focus: not only the farmers' market, but also Wall Street. Since August, in the vegetable markets so closely tied to people's daily lives, many residents have found vegetable prices soaring. Round eggplants have turned into "gold ingots," cucumbers into "golden melons," and even cabbage is no longer at a "cabbage price."

How can local pavilions sustain their momentum to achieve better development?
The popularity of local pavilions cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of multiple actors, including local governments, e-commerce platforms, agricultural product producers and operators, and investors. Local pavilions have broken the long-standing situation in which local agricultural product e-commerce platforms fought alone, enabling local platforms and major e-commerce platforms to leverage each other's strengths and providing a mechanism-level possibility for shared development and co-construction between local platforms and major platforms. Relying on the trading popularity of market-oriented third-party major e-commerce platforms to redirect buyer traffic helps overcome the long-standing buyer-side shortcomings that restricted transaction completion on previous top-down platforms, and improves the transaction conversion rate of agricultural products. At the same time, local pavilions' pursuit of the best and most distinctive local agricultural products also sets higher requirements for the quality and safety of agricultural products, providing an opportunity to sort out regional agricultural resources and build brands.
