JD Fresh launched a premium alliance with cherry merchants who have opened third party stores on JD. Speaking at a press conference held in Shanghai today, Xiaozhou Zhou, head of fruits division at JD Fresh said, “By integrating JD’s high quality resources in supply chain, logistics and talent for first party fruits, we hope to empower our third party merchants with services, in order to provide a superior fruit shopping experience for customers.”

In the first phase, the alliance will target the cherry category, with merchants in the alliance benefiting from JD’s integrated supply chain starting from Chile. Additionally, the products from the alliance will have the JD High Quality authorization.

To address the industry pain points for nonstandard supply chain resources for imported fruits, JD Fresh has formed a special team to optimize the supply chain, starting with the cherry category. Later JD plans to expand the services to other categories, including durian, mangosteen and blueberry. JD also provides other resources to help merchants expand their imported fruits sales, including traffic flow, marketing and quality control training.

During the conference, JD announced plans to launch a C2M tailored cherry gift box decorated in red and featuring the zodiac cow, which aims to appeal to Chinese customers purchasing new year gifts.
