Early in the morning of August 18, the reporter went to a convenient fruit and vegetable supermarket near Xihongmen in Daxing District. He saw all kinds of vegetables and fruits neatly arranged on the shelves. The usual varieties were all there, and some leafy vegetables were still covered with dew. "These are all the goods that just arrived this morning." The staff were sorting and packaging the goods, and many consumers were pulling carts to select vegetables, most of whom were residents living nearby. "Although the prices have risen a bit recently, the vegetables here are quite complete and fresh regardless of wind or rain," said an older woman.

The reporter learned from the platform that “niche” vegetables can also be in sufficient supply because of the advance planning of direct purchase supply chains from multiple production areas across the country.In addition to production areas such as Yunnan, which are more affected by the weather, "Gobi vegetables" from Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai and other places, and "highland vegetables" from Hebei, Inner Mongolia and other places can guarantee a relatively sufficient supply. In case of rainy days, the stock of meat, poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables will increase by about 20% compared with usual times.
Hema Beijing stores have also increased the stock of daily necessities such as vegetables, meat, eggs and milk, and adopted the method of "multiple distribution at one time" to ensure sufficient goods in the store. "The attendance rate of delivery staff has been relatively high recently. The store has also increased the number of on-site sorting and packaging staff to ensure efficiency and do its utmost to ensure that orders can be delivered on time." said the person in charge of the platform.
According to him, the overall inventory of the platform has also increased by about 20% compared to usual.
