Farmers Love Online Shopping Too: A Close-up of the New Online Farmers

Today, selling flowers online has become a trend among local flower growers. According to local government statistics, there are more than 1,500 households in Yanji Town that run online stores, achieving annual sales of 130 million yuan in flowers and trees, accounting for 32.6% of the town's total sales of flowers and trees. As the online store business continues to expand, the flower and tree business in Yanxia Village has also grown larger and larger. The village has a total of over 1,000 mu of arable land, but the villagers rent more than 10,000 mu of land to grow flowers and trees, and several nearby villages have become hired farmland for Yanxia Village.

Looking at the changes in Yanxia Village in recent years, former village chief Chen Xueming feels deeply moved. He said that in the era of high technology, farmers must also keep up with the pace of the times. The old business model of running around to sell seedlings has become outdated, and the older generation of flower growers must also adapt to the new online economy.
