Rural roads vital to poverty relief efforts

NANCHANG - On an ordinary winter's day, hundreds of workers pack tons of navel oranges into boxes, tape them up and load them onto trucks in southern Jiangxi province. It is their busiest time of year.

"Yesterday I sent a batch to Urumqi, and soon I will send two batches to Heilongjiang province more than 3,000 kilometers away," said Li Feng, a worker in an e-commerce park in Anyuan county in southern Jiangxi.

"We have a maximum order of 7,000 batches a day. When orders flood in on e-commerce promotion days, we have to rush to the farmers' home to buy more oranges," said Jia Longfei, another worker at the park.
