Chinese vegetable eaters hungry for online market

NANCHANG - Search, order and pay. With a simple click on a mobile phone, Zou Ping gets fresh vegetables and meat delivered to her doorstep.

Zou, an office worker in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, is among a growing number of Chinese consumers who choose to buy fresh groceries online.

"My husband and I both work late, and nearby markets are closed when we return from work," Zou said. "Mobile apps solved our problem. Besides convenience, the vegetables and meats are also fresh."
