On January 17, at the 2023 National Postal Management Work Conference, the "transcript" of the express delivery industry in 2022 was officially released:

　　In 2022, the express business volume will complete 110.58 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%, and the business volume will rank first in the world for 9 consecutive years; business revenue will be 1.06 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.3%.

The industry's highest daily processing capacity exceeds 700 million pieces, and the annual per capita express volume is nearly 80 pieces.

　　The delivery of express delivery to the village has achieved remarkable results.

By the end of 2022, the whole industry has 430,000 business outlets of various types, and a total of 990 county-level delivery public distribution centers and 278,000 village-level express service stations have been built, realizing the establishment of township offices, village-by-village delivery, and full coverage of express outlets in towns and towns .

　　Express delivery comes to the village, and specialty products go to the city.

In 2022, the express delivery industry will vigorously promote the integrated development of "passenger, cargo and mail", add nearly 20,000 vehicles for rural delivery, and open a total of 1,888 combined postal routes.

By the end of 2022, 95% of the country's administrative villages will be covered by express delivery services.

　　Xiangshi Town, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province is nearly 20 kilometers away from the urban area, covering 3 communities and 11 administrative villages.

Due to the high mountain roads and sparsely populated areas, it is very difficult for express delivery in Xiangshi Town to enter the village.

At the same time, with the rise of online car-hailing services, traditional passenger transport is under operational pressure.

　　Faced with the problems of express delivery entering the village and traditional passenger transport, the local area came up with a coup to combine the two, integrate transportation and postal resources, share venues, personnel, and equipment, and realize one-stop multi-functional operations.

"My van is multi-purpose, delivering both parcels and people. It can deliver 6,300 pieces of mail every month," said Li Jun, a driver at the bus station in Xiangshi Town.

　　In 2022, an average of about 100 million parcels will pass in and out of the countryside every day.

This achievement is inseparable from the introduction of intelligent systems in the express delivery industry, the upgrading of automation equipment, and the continuous improvement of sorting and pickup efficiency.

　　Entering the Cainiao Country Express Center in Yuncheng County, Heze City, Shandong Province, the automated sorting system with 242 slots is running at high speed.

Tens of thousands of parcels delivered by multi-brand express vehicles enter the same sorting line for mixed sorting, and intelligent distribution is realized according to the village-level receiving address.

　　"After the introduction of the assembly line, it only takes 4 hours to complete the sorting of 50,000 packages, and the efficiency has increased by 1.5 times." said Zhang Tongchun, the local director of Cainiao Village.

　　Not only that, Cainiao Village has also equipped the village-level public service stations with smart light bars, high-speed cameras, cloud monitoring and other equipment, which has improved the efficiency of picking up items.

Zheng Chen, director of the Cainiao Village Public Service Station in Chenlukou Village, Yuncheng County, said that after the parcels enter the station, he will hang a smart light strip the size of a USB flash drive on each parcel.

When the customer scans the code to pick up the package, the light bar will automatically light up and beep, and it only takes 6 to 7 seconds to find the package.

　　On the e-commerce platform, if agricultural products want to sell smoothly and well, the stability of express service outlets is an important guarantee.

　　As one of the largest grape-producing areas in North China, the administrative villages in Yongji City, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province wanted to sell grapes at a good price, but they once faced logistics problems.

Due to the high cost, the express outlets in the village have been unable to stabilize for a long time.

　　In order to solve the problem, in 2022, the Yuncheng Postal Administration decided to select a leading operating company to implement joint distribution, and one company will be responsible for the delivery of all parcels at the village level.

"The layout is more reasonable, the delivery is more concentrated, the cost of the branch has been reduced, and the operation is more stable." Wang Lei, the person in charge of the Zhongtong Yongji branch who successfully bid for the lead company, said that it took only 7 months to complete the 195 administrative villages in Yongji City. It has realized the establishment of outlets in every village.

　　The outlets are retained, and the business is easy to expand.

From grapes and apples to jujubes and persimmons, in 2022, the shipment volume of Zhongtong Yongji outlets will increase by 40% compared with 2021.

More and more mountain products have come out of Yongji, driving the price of local agricultural products to increase by 0.2-0.5 yuan per catty.

　　As of the end of 2022, the express delivery industry has cultivated a total of 117 gold medal projects for express service modern agriculture, and the delivery of express delivery to villages has become more and more solid.
