They are characterized by high purchase frequency and high profitability.

Based on the examples of fresh agricultural products e-commerce development in developed countries, this paper analyzes the development problems of the sector in China and puts forward four suggestions: strengthening the construction of agricultural informatization; improving the legislative mechanism of supervision; establishing specialized e-commerce websites for fresh agricultural products and strengthening personnel training.
