Missfresh Limited has enhanced its supply chain to directly source from 200 farms and 350 factories and processing facilities across China that directly supply the Company with fresh goods. An efficient and quality-controlled supply chain is the cornerstone of providing an excellent digital shopping experience for customers of the Company's on-demand online retail platforms, the Missfresh app and WeChat mini program. With the addition of these farms, factories, and processing facilities to the supply chain, Missfresh is able to source more of its products from its origin and eliminate middlemen, enabling the Company to closely control and ensure the consistent and high-quality production of products (from fresh farm produce to seafood, meat, eggs, and other fast-moving consumer goods), maintain a stable supply, and directly support local farmers and producers. Missfresh currently sources more than 90% of its fresh produce from its origin, and aims to increase this by continuously improving its supply chain with direct-to-consumer suppliers. A more closely connected supply chain also speeds up the movement of fresh produce and food products between each stage, from sourcing and processing to packaging and cold chain transportation. By lowering cold chain costs, sourcing directly from farmers and producers, and eliminating middlemen who jack up prices during periods of high demand, Missfresh is able to offer better pricing for customers while improving margins.
