Looking forward to agricultural e-commerce platform
As someone who loves shopping on e-commerce platforms because of the convenience, Ms. Vo Thi Diem My (Soc Trang province) said that she rarely accesses unprocessed agricultural products. The reason is that in addition to the difficulty in determining product quality, Ms. My is also afraid of ordering on e-commerce platforms, the long shipping time can affect the freshness of agricultural products.
For that reason, Ms. My is looking forward to having an e-commerce platform specializing in selling agricultural products so that she can easily shop: "If this service exists, I think agricultural products should be provided with clear images and traceability codes so that users can choose suitable products and feel secure in using them."
Sharing the same view, Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Ngan (Long An province) said that through e-commerce platforms, she almost only buys processed agricultural products such as dried ones that can be preserved for a long time.
According to her, the demand for online shopping of consumers is increasing, if there is an e-commerce platform specializing in agricultural products, it will help consumers buy the desired products: "If there is an e-commerce platform for agricultural products, I can buy the vegetables I want not only in the region but also in other localities such as Da Lat or the North".
Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Man (Soc Trang province) who regularly buys clothing and personal items on e-commerce platforms said that most of the time, the shipping time usually takes 3-4 days, or even longer if it is international goods. If selling agricultural products on e-commerce platforms, the shipping service provider needs to have a way to preserve and ensure that the time to reach consumers is only 1-2 days or preferably within the day so that the product retains the best quality.
Low price, fast shipping
Coming to the Vietnam International Agricultural Fair 2024 taking place in Can Tho City from November 1-5, Phuong Trang Group launched the FuNong e-commerce platform.
