Compared with other categories, fresh and fast-moving consumer goods have the characteristics of high consumption frequency and fast consumption speed, and fresh food has the just-needed attribute. Fresh goods mainly include fruits, vegetables, meat, aquatic products, dry goods and daily preparations, cooked food and pastries. China's fresh retail consumption is mainly divided into online and offline channels, of which online channels include e-commerce, pre-warehouse, community group buying, etc. Offline channels include wet markets, traditional supermarkets, and community fresh stores. At present, fresh retail channels are developing in the direction of diversification, and different channels have their own advantages and disadvantages.
On February 13, 2023, the "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council on Comprehensively Promoting the Key Work of Rural Revitalization in 2023" was released, which is the 20th central document guiding the work of "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" since the 21st century. The full text consists of nine parts, including: We will intensify efforts to ensure stable production and supply of grain and important agricultural products, strengthen agricultural infrastructure, strengthen support for agricultural science and technology and equipment, consolidate and expand achievements in poverty alleviation, promote high-quality development of rural industries, expand channels for farmers to increase income and get rich, make solid progress in building a livable and working countryside and a beautiful countryside, improve the rural governance system under the leadership of Party organizations, and strengthen policy support and institutional innovation. Among them, the article 19 of the fifth part specifically mentions the cultivation and development of the prepared vegetable industry.
What is a prepared dish? Prefabricated vegetables refer to the finished or semi-finished products made from agricultural, livestock, poultry and aquatic products with various auxiliary materials through pre-processing (such as cutting, stirring, curing, rolling, molding and seasoning). According to the White Paper on the Development of China's prepared vegetable Industry in 2022, the scale of China's prepared vegetable market will reach 419.6 billion yuan in 2022 and is expected to break through the trillion yuan mark in 2026.
Prefabricated dishes are not rare in our daily life, such as the self-heating hot pot commonly found in supermarkets. In addition, some take-out businesses and restaurants have a high proportion of prefabricated dishes. According to the "Report on China's chain Catering Industry in 2022" jointly released by the China Chain Operation Association and Huxing Capital, prepared dishes such as rural base, real Kung fu, Yoshinoya, and west shellfish account for more than 80% of chain catering enterprises.
At present, however, there are different opinions about prepared dishes. For businesses, the use of preprepared dishes can improve the efficiency of meal delivery, reduce the cost of ingredients and labor costs, reduce the kitchen area to reduce rental expenses, and thus improve the profit level.
But consumers are divided when it comes to prepared dishes. Some consumers hold a positive attitude, they think that the headquarters of the large factory to prepare prepared dishes, compared with the small kitchen environment of the restaurant is cleaner and more safe to eat. Some consumers also raised objections, saying that they could not accept prepared dishes, believing that it took so long for prepared dishes to be made from the headquarters to the table, and that the dishes treated with anti-corrosion treatment had poor taste compared with the dishes made on the spot, and were not fresh and healthy. Other consumers are more concerned about their own rights. They believe that consumers should have the right to know and choose whether the dishes produced by a restaurant are prepared dishes, and businesses should clearly state that the restaurant uses prepared dishes in a prominent position or in the publicity channel.
From the national level, prepared dishes are a new model of integrated development of the first, second and third industries, and a new business form to promote the quality and efficiency of the "vegetable basket" project. Improving the prepared vegetable industry chain can promote national agricultural development and rural revitalization, promote the iterative upgrading of agricultural and livestock product processing industry, and promote the transformation and consumption reform of the catering industry. At present, a number of provinces and cities have introduced or landed prefabricated food support policies. However, the prepared dish industry is still in the early stage of development, and it still needs government guidance, market leadership and consumer participation.
At the end of February 2023, Jingdong quietly launched the "Jingdong buy food" project. In the Jingdong Home APP, Jingdong Buy food as a first-level entrance, which is consistent with the previous "buy food" channel function. At the same time, compared with the previous, the online Jingdong buy food also aggregate a number of well-known fresh platforms, in addition to their own seven fresh, Yonghui, there are hundred orchard, Wumart, Ding dong buy food, Carrefour and other third-party merchants, and even can buy the box horse. At present, Jingdong shopping is not self-operated, but chooses platform operation.
In fact, since 2016, Jingdong has shown great interest in fresh e-commerce business, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but it has had little effect, and even was once in a "semi-cooling" state. However, under a series of industry changes such as Dingdong Buying vegetables on behalf of players in the pre-position position, and the opening of a new round of expansion of the Meituan buying vegetables in the pre-position business, Jingdong seems to have reignited the confidence and determination to compete for more territory of fresh electricity suppliers. After the low-key launch of "Jingdong buy food", in June 2023, Jingdong successfully put into operation two major pre-positions in Beijing.
Jingdong restarted the two pre-warehouse are located in Beijing Shilihe and Tiantongyuan, to e-commerce flow + self-management model, the same area after the success of the goods, by the rider unified centralized distribution. The operation of the two pre-warehouse area of up to thousands of square meters, with a huge throughput, can meet more diversified, high-frequency, instant consumer demand. And Beijing, with convenient transportation, dense network and stronger consumer demand, is used as a test point, effectively solving the problem of high operating costs.
For the pre-position, one can make up the self-operated plate that "Jingdong buy food" cannot reach, and you can master more autonomy. The previous "Jingdong Buy food" adopted an aggregation platform operation model, which not only included Yonghui supermarket, which Jingdong participated in, but also accessed third-party merchants such as Ding Dong Buy Food, Hema Fresh, Sam, Hundred Orchard, and Walmart. In addition, Jingdong has given a large number of policy tilts to fresh stores, such as changing the minimum 10% commission to 0 commission, in order to attract more merchants to settle.
Second, the problem facing Jingdong's restart of pre-warehouse is that the distribution efficiency is not dominant. The pre-warehouse mainly needs immediacy, high loss, and high requirements for the performance system. Over the years, although Jingdong has laid out a relatively complete and sufficient warehousing and logistics system in the country, and has certain advantages of spreading out pre-warehouse, in terms of the overall operating experience and final performance experience, Jingdong's self-operated pre-warehouse adopts e-commerce logistics wave distribution, and users have to wait for nearly 2 hours. This is not advantageous compared with the distribution efficiency of the United States Group in half an hour.
However, from another point of view, Jingdong adopts the Okang model to obtain more SKUs at the expense of part of the distribution speed, which can meet the needs of some users who have strong purchasing tendencies and pay more attention to the diversification of goods. In addition, fresh belongs to the high frequency category, and the high frequency in the universal sense is daily frequency and weekly frequency, which is of great significance to improve the user activity and stickiness of Jingdong, that is, the re-purchase rate. Especially for Jingdong, which is growing in low-frequency categories such as 3C household appliances, it is more necessary to insist on doing it.
On June 18, 2023, fudi+ Select Supermarkets, a new line of fudi member stores, officially opened. Consumers do not need a membership to enter the supermarket to buy goods. Compared with Wal-Mart, Wumart, etc., from supermarkets to member stores, fudi has expanded from warehouse member stores to select supermarkets, leveraging slightly smaller medium-sized stores to "circle the land" offline. Previously, fudi+ has set up shop in Wudaokou shopping Center to test the waters.
From the perspective of goods, store design and service, fudi+ is trying to land the texture that a new generation of consumers love. For example, fully understand the rich category of "Chinese stomach", a variety of fruits, vegetables, salads, cooked food, pasta, quick dishes, more suitable for the daily Chinese diet. Live is also the highlight of fudi, standing free processing of the fish room.
At the same time, the texture and design style of fudi+ also follow the characteristics of the appearance level of fudi member stores. Including, using the fashionable color of BV green as the Logo color, so that the logo presents an upward tilt, conveying an "upward" attitude, and also showing a strong fashion label. An internal employee revealed that the overall design of fudi+ store revolves around "enjoying quality life", with soft and simple colors, and hopes to enhance the experience and interaction of customers during the shopping process through color superposition and material interspersion.
It is worth noting that although it is opened in a large Shopping Mall, fudi internally does not define fudi+ as a "boutique supermarket" - a supermarket targeting high-end consumers and high-income classes, selling high-end packaged food, fresh food, skin care cosmetics and imported products.
A fudi official emphasized that the positioning of fudi+ as a "select" supermarket is a new exploration that "emphasizes the focus on products, based on non-membership, space, and user differences, selected from fudi's existing supply chain product pool of high-quality products." This "selection", one is to meet the shopping needs of members in different consumption scenarios, close to users, price strategy, emphasis on cost-effective; In addition, fudi is also trying to meet the needs of many high-end shopping malls to upgrade the supermarket format.
In addition, the relevant person in charge of fudi also pointed out that large member stores can not open a large number of stores in a city, but select supermarkets can land in multiple scenes. Compared with the member stores "outside the Fifth Ring Road", the convenient consumer facilities in the urban area are relatively perfect, and the new fudi+ store opens, which will also face the competition in the region. Chain supermarkets should pay more attention to the operation of goods, with the advantage of supply chain, create competition barriers, and "circle" in the community area.
