  When visiting an exhibition area on Hunan Province’s natural resources, he was attracted by a booth that introduces e-commerce platform for agricultural products from Suxian District of Chenzhou City. He was learned that the monthly sales of it has exceeded 3 million CNY. It has helped many poverty-stricken households find consumers of their agricultural products. Xu encouraged the platform team to keep making excellent and wide services to help strengthen the integrated development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and to make contributions for Hunan’s targeted poverty alleviation.
