From Ailao Mountain oranges to Canadian cod, the online grocery market is growing rapidly and is now worth up to $4.09 billion
It takes three and a half hours to fly from Shanghai to Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province. From there, it is another five-hour drive over bumpy mountain roads to reach the Chu Orange Manor in Ailao Mountain.
Here, you will find Chu Shijian, an 88-year-old entrepreneur who has been cultivating juicy oranges since 2002 and now uses e-commerce to sell his produce.
