During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the Xuancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperatives Joint Association in Anhui Province actively integrated into the Yangtze River Delta region, establishing long-term cooperation mechanisms with 18 prefecture-level supply and marketing cooperatives in the area. Additionally, it signed a strategic production and sales alliance agreement with the Jiading District Supply and Marketing Cooperatives in Shanghai under the "Mountain-Sea Unity" initiative.
The cooperatives organized and participated in over 100 agricultural exhibitions and sales events across the Yangtze River Delta, achieving on-site and intended sales exceeding 50 million yuan (RMB). They also fostered more than 40 closely linked production bases and processing entities.
Huang Taoying, Director of the Xuancheng Supply and Marketing Cooperatives Council, reported that over the past five years, the system's cumulative agricultural product sales reached 15.76 billion yuan. E-commerce sales grew from 820 million yuan at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan to 1.27 billion yuan by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, marking an average annual growth rate of 9.1%.
During this period, the cooperatives implemented the "Green Agricultural Supplies" initiative, strengthening infrastructure by establishing three new county-level agricultural supply distribution centers and upgrading 14 township-level supply outlets. The system supplied over 19 million tons of key agricultural materials, including fertilizers, with total sales amounting to 69 billion yuan, providing essential support for local food security and agricultural productivity.
In expanding and enhancing agricultural socialized services, the cooperatives provided comprehensive services—covering plowing, planting, management, harvesting, drying, storage, and sales—across more than 3.4 million mu (approximately 227,000 hectares) of farmland. These efforts effectively reduced costs for small-scale farmers and promoted moderate-scale agricultural operations.
