Especially, in terms of the market business management and exploitation, aside from the food safety and hygiene, the unit holds promulgations on service behavior for members in a bid to raise trade civilized lifestyle, upholding the market business effectively.
Aside from the done results, cooperatives always focus on enhancing their prestige for clients, improving business modes and grasping market price to deliver flexible settlements for business and payment and so on.
