According to Pang Kaizhong, the platform has attracted 30 Sichuan and Chongqing enterprises to settle in, and the trade network covers the markets of the United States, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe, becoming the first cross-border e-commerce public service platform focusing on pickled vegetables and agricultural and sideline products in Chengdu and Chongqing.
