The Spring Festival every year should have been the peak season for egg sales, but this year, affected by the epidemic, the 3 million native eggs of villagers in Zhongwaju Village, Sihong County, Jiangsu, could not be sold.

Zhang Shouqiang, a college student in the village, looked at the villagers ’worries and was anxious." The Spring Festival in previous years has been the peak season for egg sales. Farmers will give chickens better feed and vegetable oil so that hens can produce more eggs. But I have been busy with the Spring Festival this year, and only 30% have been sold till now, and more than 3 million eggs have been kept at home for more than ten days. If I can't sell it within a month, more than 400 farmers in the village will lose everything. , More than 30 chicken farms are also at risk of closing down. "

What keeps farmers from eating and sleeping is that millions of chickens in the village lay more than 600,000 eggs a day. On the one hand, there are eggs that cannot be sold, and on the other hand, new stocks are constantly increasing.

In desperation, Zhang Shouqiang could only call on the villagers to find a way to let the chickens lay eggs and reduce their losses.

The villagers can only “emergency medical treatment”, some people play rock music for hens during the laying period, some people move the electric heater to the chicken shed, and some people also turn on the chicken shed lights at night to prevent the chickens from sleeping ...

"It is impossible for the hen to hold the egg, and these methods can only reduce the egg production rate. We think that we can lose less and we ca n’t afford it!" Zhong Jiulong, a breeder, said for his own 20,000 chickens have been loaned for 300,000 to 400,000, and the children's tuition and the whole family are counting on these eggs.

In February, Zhang Shouqiang watched as the villagers couldn't bear it, and tried to find Alibaba, hoping to solve the problem of slow sales of eggs through the Internet sales channel.

Yu Kefeng and his colleagues launched the "good product recommendation" voice shopping channel for AI-assisted agricultural products in time to promote the sales of slow-selling agricultural products. online sale.

"Voice purchase based on voiceprint recognition sounds sci-fi, but the barriers to use are very low. Users only need to say" agricultural aids "to Tmall Elves, or" I want to buy eggs "to place orders by voice. Yu Kefeng told reporters.

From February 15th, it officially went on sale. On the same day, more than 900 orders were sold for "Sihongtu Eggs", and 100,000 eggs were sold in just three days.

In addition to eggs, Guangxi Emperor Orange, Dandong Strawberry, Anyue Lemon, Yunnan Rose and other fresh products due to outdated sales have also been recommended to more than 20 million online shopping users.

The reporter noticed that many online users expressed appreciation for this online sales that directly connects the place of production and consumers. Platform for farming.
