The summit gave real insights into China fresh food market and consumers characteristics, and the infrastructures to enable the omni- channel new retail. Win-Chain is currently providing a one-stop solution from the farm to the table with its omni-channel sales, through which upstream fresh food suppliers can find a standardized and streamlined channel to approach Chinese consumers more efficiently.

Vinh Hoan started supplying pangasius products to Alibaba’s Tmall Fresh last September and so far has provided USD 3m worth of fish to this online platform.

Mdm. Khanh represented Vinh Hoan Corporation in a joint MOU of 20 seafood giants with Alibaba and Win-Chain. The MOU emphasizes on establishing reliable industry standards for key fresh food categories in China and at the same time, maintaining the sustainable environment in all processes from production to consumption.
