Once a potted vegetable base has well-established technology and finished products, the problems it faces are transportation and sales.

1. Transportation methods: Small and medium-sized bases and first-tier cities such as Shanghai and Beijing use small vehicles like Iveco and Jinbei for transport, which are flexible and easy to load and unload while also avoiding truck traffic restrictions, ensuring timely delivery.

Second- and third-tier cities generally use 4.2 m box trucks, which have low per-delivery costs and are also suitable for long-distance wholesale consolidated distribution.

2. Sales radius: Potted vegetable sales now fall into two types: one is direct supply to hotels, and the other is dealer agency. The first, direct supply to hotels, is priced at market retail price, with high gross profit, large investment and a high risk factor. Generally, the direct supply sales radius is within 80-110 km, with mid- to high-end hotels as the target group, and one 4.2 m box truck can deliver about 270 pots per day

The second type, dealer agency, has low risk, small investment and a large delivery radius, and is suitable for medium and large bases shipping in large volumes, with consolidated stocking and low transportation costs. Generally, after modification, a 4.2 m box truck can deliver 320 pots in one trip.
