Farmers use livestreams to bring in more sales

Half a month ago, He Hesheng received a 4,000 yuan ($580) order for his peaches through a livestream.

For more than three decades, He and many of his neighbors have been growing peaches in the Xihua county of Central China's Henan province. Up till two months ago, all his peaches were sold to dealers before they were displayed for sale in supermarkets and open fairs.

The 43-year-old tried livestreaming for the first time two months ago and was extremely awkward.
