Well known throughout the country for being sweet, succulent and tender, Wuxi's honey peaches, especially those from Yangshan, enjoy a reputation as one of the tastiest fruits in East China. The sweetest varieties of the fruit usually appear in shops in large quantities in mid-July.
Thanks to the e-commerce platform and SF Express, the total revenue of Yangshan's honey peach industry reached 400 million yuan ($62.5 million) last year, a year-on-year growth of 17 percent.
Wuxi SF Express is planning to build an e-commerce industry park in Wuxi's Yangshan town, helping to promote the honey peach brand and improve the chain of production and marketing. As the internet economy booms, Yangshan’s honey peach farmers expect to go along for the ride.
