Nine departments including Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce recently issued the Implementation Plan for Three-Year Action on County-level Commercial Development in Sichuan Province (2023-2025) (the "Plan" for short). The Plan proposes that by 2025, Sichuan will create no less than 30 national "leading counties" in county-level commerce, and select 30 counties to be encouraged by county-level commercial development actions. 176 agriculture-related counties (county-level cities and districts) will have "basic" or above commercial functions. The two-way circulation channels of industrial products to the countryside and agricultural products to the city will be further expanded. A virtuous circle will exist in increasing farmers' income and improving consumption quality to catalyze rural industrial revitalization and meet rural residents' production and living needs.

In recent years, Sichuan has continuously accelerated the county-level commercial development. Statistics from the Department of Commerce show that up to now, Sichuan has 455 county-level trade centers, with a coverage rate of 88.5%; 270 county-level logistics distribution centers, with a coverage rate of 90.16%; 3,087 township trade centers, with a coverage rate of 79%; and about 110,000 village-level convenience stores, with a coverage rate of 70%. However, some problems still remain, such as unbalanced regional development of counties, outdated facilities for rural commerce and trade stations, low proportion of express logistics to villages, and low efficiency of online sales of agricultural products.
