In the early days of reform and opening up, supply and marketing cooperatives were booming in both purchases and sales, especially in the procurement and supply of bulk commodities. As far as the and new areas are concerned, here is a data from that time.

is basically the supply of large-ticket commodities in the entire Xinmi rural area that year. As the demand in rural areas continued to heat up, within the supply and marketing cooperative , what was called a positive approach at the time was actually a self-destructive channel.

First, county-level wholesalers avoided higher-level wholesalers and contacted manufacturers directly. In 1985, they purchased goods directly from more than 500 manufacturers and entered into more than 2,200 purchase and sales contracts. The direct purchase amount reached more than 60 million yuan that year, and Zhengzhou Wholesale Station withdrew from the market that year.

The second is to add county-level wholesale outlets, from the original 9 professional wholesale departments to more than 50, to provide undifferentiated wholesale supply to various urban and rural retail businesses.

The third is the beginning of internal malicious competition. Professional companies no longer classify purchases and supplies, but open up operations. Grassroots stores are required to be small and comprehensive, and no longer classify operations, gradually losing the advantage of bulk commodity procurement and supply.

Fourth, it implements contract management of county-level wholesale departments and actively transfers procurement contracts and channel resources to individuals.

Fifth, during the procurement process, counterfeit and shoddy products appeared, artificially causing some defective products to enter the supply channels, damaging the overall image of the supply and marketing cooperative.
