In view of the poor information sales channels in the village and the situation that the lychee and longan production are not harvested, the Zhongshan support team in Chaozhou has come up with a "magic recipe" according to local conditions, using the advantages of e-commerce sales channels, and working with Chaozhou Postal Express Company to launch the "Love to Help Agricultural E-commerce Poverty Alleviation Project", so that the miyashita village grass shop longan "electrocution" and Internet online sales. The team stationed in Miyashita Village supports the development of industrial poverty alleviation projects by using the new agriculture-related business model of "Internet + cooperative + farmer", changes the status of farmers in the traditional interest chain, and greatly enhances the economic value of miyashita agricultural products. While enhancing the enthusiasm of farmers to start a business, this move also stimulates the endogenous motivation of poor households, and installs new engines and injects new impetus into poverty alleviation.
