Vegetable market provides snapshot of maturing business infrastructure

Vegetable dealers in Shouguang, Shandong province, are now finding it more convenient to do business, thanks to the rapid development of technology and infrastructure.

Wang Changshuai, a vegetable trader, and his employees were selling vegetables at the trading hall of Shouguang Dali Agricultural Products Logistics Park - China's largest vegetable distribution hub recently. The park has an annual transaction volume of 4 million metric tons of vegetables.

Behind them, there were two 30-ton cargo trucks fully loaded with cabbages, carrots and peppers. It took about 20 hours for them to be transported from Fujian province - about 1,600 kilometers to the south, where a rich variety of vegetables is grown in winter.
