At the State Council’s regular policy briefing held on the 26th, a reporter asked a question that at present, many rural areas in my country still cannot deliver goods purchased online. Can this problem be solved in the construction of a rural delivery logistics system?
What other difficulties will you face?
How to overcome it?
"The problem you have reflected is indeed an urgent problem that many of our rural people need to solve." Chen Kai responded to this, saying that online shopping products will be delivered to the organized village in time, so that rural people can enjoy the same express service as urban residents. It has always been a work direction that the postal administration has always promoted its efforts.
Chen Kai pointed out that judging from the current situation, there are indeed some practical difficulties.
First of all, the traditional postal system's network layout, networking mode, and service capabilities are basically to meet the general postal services and special services. For example, the delivery of party newspapers and periodicals, and the delivery of letters, are established in such a system. There is indeed a certain gap in the service ability compared with the needs and expectations of the broad masses of farmers for online shopping.
Secondly, in rural areas, especially some organized villages, judging from the current development of express delivery business, it is basically due to the small business volume and high cost. Especially the organized villages are relatively scattered in geographical locations, and the operation organization There is indeed a problem of high costs, especially compared with the cost of urban express delivery, which is indeed much higher. This is a practical problem.
Therefore, the current market players, many express companies do not want to download, not to download, and there are still problems such as being unable to stay stable and unable to stay. This is indeed the current status quo.
Furthermore, judging from the current integration of various resources in rural areas, we are coordinating various resources including policy coordination, regulatory co-governance, and resource coordination in services. At present, we have not yet formed a basic operating mechanism.
Especially in some rural areas, I just mentioned that there are many postal, transportation, supply and marketing, agriculture, and commercial resources, and there is no mechanism for sharing and co-construction. These problems are currently some of the obstacles and difficulties that restrict the construction of the rural delivery logistics system.
Chen Kai said that based on the above situation, the State Post Bureau has paid special attention to the construction of rural delivery and logistics system in recent years. It has always paid attention to the needs of farmers for online shopping and the upward demand for agricultural products. It has accelerated the promotion and achieved certain results. The results.
There are mainly three aspects:
First, in terms of the construction of the network layout, judging from the current progress of the two systems, the country’s organized villages have basically achieved village-to-village postal services in 2019, and the basic public services of postal services have been accessible.
With regard to the construction of the express delivery network, since 2014, the State Post Bureau has continued to promote the express delivery project to the countryside.
Up to now, all of our county areas and major express brands in the country have achieved full coverage. Especially since last year, the State Post Bureau has formulated a three-year action plan for the "Express Delivery into Villages" project. We have gradually promoted the delivery of express delivery networks. Shen.
Judging from the current situation, the outlets of major express brands have achieved coverage in 98% of towns and villages across the country.
At the same time, we have also achieved certain results in terms of service supply.
The second is that a basic model has been formed on the path of development.
The construction of the rural delivery logistics system has always adhered to the market-led and government-led direction.
Judging from the current situation, we have formed multiple modes of "express delivery into the village" in different regions of the country.
For example, we have different modes such as express mail cooperation, quick cooperation, quick delivery cooperation, quick business cooperation, and quick supply cooperation.
Especially in the process of "express delivery into the village", many village committees, convenience stores, and small rural supermarkets have also effectively undertaken some of the functions of express delivery collection and transfer, providing great convenience for farmers to receive express delivery at their doorsteps. .
Third, it has achieved initial results in serving the development of agriculture and rural areas.
While improving the construction of rural delivery networks, we actively promote the role of delivery companies in two-way circulation. We always consider the core of "express delivery into the village". Go, and hope that the agricultural products can be produced.
Through our efforts for several years, in 2020, the average annual express parcel delivery volume of single-variety agricultural products of the national express service of modern agriculture will exceed 1 million. At present, there are already 260 parcels in the country with more than 1 million parcels, and we have 260 regions. More than 1 million parcels of agricultural products were sent.
Among them, there are 60 gold medal projects. We have determined that the annual shipment volume of the gold medal projects exceeds 10 million. At present, it includes some special agricultural products that everyone knows. To give a few examples, such as passion fruit in Yulin, Guangxi, kiwi fruit in Baoji, Shaanxi, and Hubei Navel oranges from Yichang, cherries from Yantai, Shandong, etc., some special agricultural products with local characteristics are delivered to all parts of the country by express delivery, which has effectively promoted the development of local agriculture and increased farmers' income.
It should be said that with the gradual deepening of my country's economic and social development and rural revitalization, the demand for rural delivery services has also continued to grow.
Chen Kai said that at present, the construction of rural delivery and logistics systems is facing new missions, as well as new opportunities.
This time the State Council once again deployed the work related to the construction of the rural delivery logistics system, and will continue to adhere to the problem-oriented and the overall direction of the farmers’ needs for a better life, focusing on the difficulties and pain points such as insufficient terminal service capabilities, poor sustainability, and weak infrastructure. Focus on adapting measures to local conditions.
The next step will focus on the completion of four key projects.
We believe that on the basis of the original work, in accordance with the clear thinking direction of the executive meeting of the State Council, cohesion, solid work, and orderly progress, we will surely speed up the construction of the rural delivery logistics system and further satisfy the growing diversity of the rural masses. Delivery demand.
