JD Food Delivery Upgrades Rider Experience for Workforce with 150,000 New E-Bikes, Offers Enhanced Benefits
By the end of June, JD Food Delivery’s full-time rider workforce increased to over 150,000 people. And with the summer delivery peak approaching, JD will put in RMB 2 billion worth of resources to enhance rider experience and benefits, offering substantial upgrades beyond existing social insurance benefits, known as the “five social insurances and one housing fund.” Full-time riders will receive special monthly allowances during extreme weather seasons, alongside 150,000 new state-of-the-art electric bikes to elevate their work experience.
The e-bike incentive program will refund the purchase costs to riders who complete 3,000 orders within 90 days of using the new bikes. The program has already launched in Beijing, Changsha, and Nanjing, with plans for a nationwide rollout. Riders will also sport racing-inspired uniforms and badges, boosting their professional image and sense of pride.
These sleek, JD-red electric bikes are designed for both performance and style, featuring ergonomic seats and backrests that rotate 180 degrees for rest, as well as portable fridges with dual-core cooling chips that double chilling efficiency compared to traditional models. The portable fridges ensure ice-cold deliveries stay fresh, enhancing customer satisfaction. The bikes also come with glowing, eco-friendly PU foam-insulated delivery boxes that extend heat retention by 100%, with free daily disinfection at stations to maintain hygiene.

JD.com and Camposol Kick Off 2025 Peruvian Blueberry Season with First Shanghai Shipment
JD Super, the supermarket division of JD.com, and Camposol, Peru’s leading fruit exporter, celebrated the arrival of the first 2025 season Peruvian blueberries in Shanghai on July 4. This landmark shipment, facilitated through a direct-procurement partnership, launches the global blueberry season and reinforces JD.com’s role as a trusted bridge for international brands and specialty products reaching Chinese consumers.
Building on the successful collaboration in 2024, JD Super and Camposol have strengthened their partnership to source top-tier blueberries directly from Peru’s northern orchards. This year, JD Super anticipates purchasing over 1,000 tons of blueberries, streamlining the supply chain to deliver fresher, more affordable fruit to Chinese shoppers. By eliminating intermediaries and optimizing the process, this partnership makes premium blueberries more accessible and less expensive, enabling consumers to enjoy what’s popularly called “blueberry freedom” in China.
The 2025 Peruvian blueberry season arrived two weeks ahead of schedule, with an estimated yield exceeding 400,000 tons of exceptional quality produce —a 27% increase from last year. JD Super is set to capture 10% of the 72,000-ton supply to China, cementing its position as the largest online retailer for Peruvian blueberries. The initial shipment features the selection of the premium Madeira variety, carefully graded to 16MM+ and 18MM+ sizes for superior flavor, sweetness, and consistency.
JD Super implements a comprehensive assurance system to ensure uncompromising quality through rigorous controls. On-site specialists at Camposol’s Peruvian warehouses monitor product standards from the source, while JD Super conducts regular online quality checks to ensure consistent excellence. Every blueberry meets JD’s strict standards for firmness and uniformity, guaranteeing customers receive premium-grade fruit.
To preserve freshness, the blueberries are transported via a fully sanitized, end-to-end cold-chain system from Peru to China. JD Logistics supports this with cold-chain delivery across over 300 cities, guaranteeing each blueberry arrives as fresh as when it was picked.
Since entering the imported blueberry market in 2018, JD Super has honed its supply chain expertise, reducing costs while improving quality. This direct-sourcing model has made Peruvian blueberries more affordable and popular, driving exponential sales growth on JD’s platform and turning an unfamiliar fruit into a household favorite in China. Peru’s blueberry industry has seen remarkable growth, with cultivation expanding from 80 hectares in 2012 to 20,500 hectares today, reflecting a 65% annual growth rate.
This partnership between JD Super and Camposol sets a new benchmark for global produce collaborations, delivering fresh, high-quality Peruvian blueberries to millions while fostering efficient, sustainable trade.
