E-commerce for agricultural products definitely has a future. I started to sell agricultural products online in 2012. I started from scratch. Now I have 2 houses and 2 cars, and I have no loans.

In 2012, there were not many people who opened online stores, especially those who sold agricultural products, so agricultural products were still a blue ocean at that time. Because I had no operating experience, all kinds of products were put up for sale, such as fermented bean curd, rice candy, sausages, bacon, and rapeseed oil. But people bought these things. There were one or two orders every day, and four or five orders when business was good.

Before the ugly oranges and unknown fire ripened here, the store was already a blue brick. The original idea was to sell for a year, and even if there was only one order every day, it could be diamond. I didn't expect that it would be diamond in less than half a year. I was happy, really happy. It happened that at this time, the ugly oranges and unknown fire had begun to ripen. I had them at home, and the market price was about 2 yuan per catty. Because I had worked in Shanghai and Chongqing before, I asked these colleagues from other places to help me take pictures in the store. Ugly oranges were a little famous at that time. So we could get more than 10 orders every day, because we had good quality control. Later, we got more and more orders, about 30-50 orders every day. The ugly oranges at home were sold out quickly, so we went to buy them back and continued to sell them. One piece of ugly orange weighed 10 kilograms and sold for 69 yuan. After deducting the cost, we could make about 20 yuan per piece.

The ugly oranges were sold out at the end of April. At that time, I didn’t want to continue to make products in other places. It was also related to experience and experience. I stayed at home and waited for the red heart kiwifruit to mature in August.

The red heart kiwifruit matured in August. At that time, the purchase price in the orchard was 7.5 to 8 yuan per kilogram, and the store sold it for 15 yuan per kilogram. No matter what, you can make money. The orders were relatively stable every day, 20-30 orders a day. One order made about 15 yuan. After the kiwifruit was sold out, we made a small profit, so we built our first cold storage.

In the following years, it was basically like this. After selling ugly oranges, we sold kiwis. This cycle repeated every year, and we made more and more money every year. Now we have a warehouse of about 1,000 square meters and 4 cold storage warehouses.

Looking back now, if we could fill the gap in local products, we might have done better. So I suggest that if you want to make agricultural products, you must make them special and specialty agricultural products, so that it will be easier to get started. Once the original capital has accumulated, you can expand the scope and include more products in the sales line, so that there will be products all year round, and the store will always have traffic and can continue to do so, because the customer stickiness of agricultural products is very good, and the repurchase rate is particularly high!

Although our experience is a bit insignificant compared to many big names, these are our own personal experiences. Although we are not rich, we have enough food and clothing. I hope it will be helpful to you!
