Tongxin County, a national-level poverty-stricken county located in the arid zone of central Ningxia, began in 2015 to build a local e-commerce platform, the "Hui Market," relying on the "National Comprehensive Demonstration Project for E-commerce in Rural Areas." The platform is a cross-border internet e-commerce comprehensive service platform integrating local specialty halal products, startup incubation, mutual assistance for farmers, and internet finance. The platform packages and integrates local specialty agricultural products such as goji berries and round dates from Tongxin County for online sales, promoting the development of the agricultural industry and helping local people escape poverty and become prosperous. At present, the platform has attracted more than 40 specialty enterprises to settle in.
