As early winter arrived in Zigui County, drones were deployed to harvest navel oranges in Taiping Village. The fruit was then sorted, packaged and delivered directly to Luckin Coffee stores across China.

　　Earlier this year, Haitong Food Group CoLtdestablished a 133-hectare standardized direct-sourcing base in the village. Through partnerships with local collectives and farmers, the company managedthe entire production processfrom planting to harvestto ensure quality. As a key supply chain partner for Luckin Coffee, HaitongGroup has integrated technology-driven harvesting with comprehensive agricultural services, forming a closed-loop supply chain that covers direct sourcing, cold-chain logistics and store delivery.
