The Webinar on E-commerce and Rural Value Chain Development was held on 29 June and 20 July.  During the all 4 episodes of the webinar, 205 attendees from 49 countries attended the webinar.

During the 4 episodes, 7 senior experts dedicated in China’s rural e-commerce sector were invited to give presentations in the webinar. Experts shared China’s experience on promoting rural transformation and development by interpreting China's policy system of agricultural informatization and digital countryside development strategy, analysed how Information and Communications Technology(ICT) can effectively contribute to the digital countryside development, showcased China’s good practices on poverty reduction that could affect profoundly on other developing countries over the world, and illustrated Chinese rural e-business entrepreneurship, online shop operation and e-commerce management.

The webinar has not only provided an opportunity for in-depth communication on how e-commerce contributes to agriculture and rural transformation, fostering rural entrepreneurship and the overarching goal of eradicating hunger and inequality and achieving SDGs, but also presented the possibility facilitating poverty reduction innovatively under the background of rapid technology development in modern society as a South-South cooperation knowledge-sharing platform.
