Zhang, who is the manager of the Beixian Agriculture Co, made the remarks in an interview, where he went on to say that an online-marketing service would help Jilin sell more high quality goods and reach a bigger market.

He concluded by saying, "We’ve sold our rice and cereals to many places, all over China, through e-commerce. So, other agricultural products companies in Jilin can do the same."
