Since late August, the banks of the Yalu River have been heavy with fruit, and the aroma of peaches wafts along the G331 National Highway. As the signature agricultural product of Hekou Village in Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County's Changdian Town, the Yanhong peach serves as the core pillar of the local specialty agriculture industry and a vital engine for income growth in border communities. On September 2nd, at the centralized mail collection point in Xiahekou Village, postal workers sorted, scanned, and loaded Yanhong peach parcels arriving from various village collection points, e-commerce platforms, and farm households, dispatching them by destination route to Beijing, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Hainan, and other regions across the country.

In 2026, China Post Group's Dandong Branch is marking its tenth year of dedicated service supporting the agricultural sector, having continuously worked to facilitate the shipping of Yanhong peaches. Over the past decade, Dandong Post has upheld its mission of serving the people, establishing a strong presence in the Hekou production area along the G331 highway. Through on-site service points, expedited custom delivery routes, and favorable agricultural policies, the company has built a complete supply chain connecting farms to markets nationwide, injecting sustained momentum into local rural revitalization through this border-area agricultural postal route.

This year, as Yanhong peaches entered their peak harvest season, Dandong Post activated a specialized agricultural product support mechanism, coordinating cross-regional manpower across the city for intensive and systematic operations. On August 31st, postal workers went directly to an orchard in Xiahekou Village to collect and process peach shipments. The company deployed over one hundred marketing, collection, and support personnel to the Hekou production area, setting up more than 40 standardized on-site collection points along the G331 highway, bringing delivery services directly to orchards and farm gateways for complete coverage with no gaps.

Through a precision service mechanism that maintains individual profiles for each household, staff coordinate directly with growers, tracking production volumes, sales channels, and shipping needs in real time to offer customized logistics solutions. The collection teams operate from early morning with round-the-clock staffing, creating an integrated system of harvesting, sorting, packaging, and pickup that ensures fresh fruit is collected, processed, and dispatched on the same day. Additionally, six business units are equipped with dedicated customer service teams, providing 100% tracking and monitoring for all outbound shipments, promptly addressing any transport irregularities or timing issues, and maintaining comprehensive quality control throughout the entire delivery process.

To tackle the challenges of perishable goods transport, including multiple handling steps, slow transit times, and high spoilage rates, Dandong Post has upgraded the agricultural logistics network along the G331 corridor and optimized transportation resource allocation. During the project period, seven custom second-tier trunk routes were temporarily established, enabling direct delivery from the Hekou production area to Shenyang, Dalian aviation hubs, and mail processing centers. This significantly reduces intermediate handling and greatly improves trunk route efficiency. Leveraging a combination of land express services, air freight capacity, and the dedicated "Express Fresh" product line, the company prioritizes delivery speed for key markets within the province as well as Jilin, Heilongjiang, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei, with next-day interprovincial delivery now reaching 256 cities.

In terms of operational standards, the company has fully adopted standardized fresh-produce packaging procedures, using five-layer corrugated cartons with protective mesh sleeves and special "Extreme Fresh" labels, along with route-based sorting and priority dispatch protocols. Final-mile delivery strictly follows phone appointment and priority distribution policies, maintaining reliable delivery times even in remote rural areas and ensuring the freshness of Hekou peaches reaches doorsteps across the country intact.

Through ten years of dedicated agricultural support, Dandong Post has remained committed to its public welfare mission and state-owned enterprise responsibilities, consistently prioritizing farmer benefits and cost reduction. Within compliant and sustainable operating parameters, the company has implemented differentiated preferential shipping rate policies and standardized pricing structures for interprovincial 9-piece and 12-piece packages, effectively lowering farmers' shipping costs and market entry barriers. From resolving logistics bottlenecks for agricultural products to expanding sales channels and activating market vitality through favorable policies, Dandong Post has spent a decade cultivating the Hekou production area along the G331 highway, continuously improving the logistics, service, and benefit systems for agricultural products. These unblocked postal routes have become the pathways for Hekou Village's specialty industry development, farmers' income growth, and border-area rural revitalization, delivering precise, professional, and heartfelt postal services that empower high-quality development of rural industries along Dandong's border frontier.
