Among them, Jiangsu has made outstanding performances in promoting the integrated development of market procurement and foreign trade comprehensive services, cross-border e-commerce, optimizing the direct export of cross-border e-commerce B2B, and exporting overseas warehouse supervision models, creating the "Jiangsu Model" of market procurement trade.

It is really convenient and fast to know that we can export through market procurement!"

Tanqiu Yuanfeng jet weaving factory located in Wujiang, Jiangsu is mainly engaged in Southeast Asian ethnic clothing, outdoor fabrics and home textile fashion fabrics. Under the influence of the global epidemic, enterprises feel the pressure of traditional export methods.

In the first half of this year, the export volume increased by nearly 70% year-on-year."
