🦘Freshippo's private label products enter the southern hemisphere for the first time After this year's products were exported to the United States and Singapore, Freshippo has formally entered the southern hemisphere market. Before the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, Freshippo's private label products are now on sale at eBest, Australia’s leading online Asian supermarket. "This time, we chose Australia as the third destination, looking forward to further expanding the influence of Chinese cuisine by joining hands with eBest and delivering Freshippo's commodities to the tables of Chinese in the Southern Hemisphere quickly," said Xu Yanni, head of Freshippo's overseas business. The SKUs of Freshippo's private label products entering Australian supermarkets this time have increased by 40 compared with the previous ones. Besides snacks, sauces, and staple food categories successfully exported to the sea before, water drinks, soups, and congee, a kind of convenient food popular among Chinese consumers, have also been added. eBest's Chief Operating Officer, Chen Fengze, said that the importation of Freshippo will further enrich the variety of local Asian supermarkets, which is not only an accurate response to the needs of Chinese consumers but also can provide Australian consumers with the taste of modern Chinese cuisine. "The rise of multi-ethnic supermarkets is becoming a global phenomenon, and we welcome Freshippo's arrival in Australia as an important step in that direction." Supported by eBest's expanding distribution network and growing market presence in Australia, these authentic flavors of Chinese specialties will reach a wide range of Chinese communities and local consumers.

🚢 Freshippo Private Label Goes Global Freshippo’s private-label products have recently made a debut at Ranch 99 Market, the largest Chinese supermarket chain in the United States, and Yamibuy, the largest online retailer of Asian goods and groceries in North America. Chinese delicacies, including snacks such as cranberry hawthorn strips and sea salt toffee, condiments including mixed seasoning bags and culinary sauces, and staple foods like sliced noodles and Longkou vermicelli, are among the best-selling products. The launch marks an industry milestone as this is the first time a domestic Chinese supermarket has initiated the large-scale export of their self-branded products overseas. Demonstrating strong product and supply chain capabilities, Freshippo’s private-label products, such as Freshippo Daily Fresh, Freshippo Kitchen, and Difresco, have been widely favored by consumers since its introduction in 2017. In 2022, Freshippo’s private-label brands ranked first among Chinese retailers with a 41% proactive mention rate and 93% brand awareness. “We found that the seasonings sold in Chinese supermarkets in the US and Australia are mostly single-ingredient, whereas Freshippo’s compound seasonings can help Chinese people living overseas more easily prepare complex Chinese dishes,” said Yanni XU, Export Manager of International Business at Freshippo. Additionally, Freshippo’s snacks also enhance the variety available in these supermarkets, offering consumers a greater range of flavors. In the first week of its launch on Yamibuy, Freshippo’s private label products quickly rose to the top of the new product rankings on both the East and West Coast of the US. This is just the first destination in Freshippo’s international expansion. Freshippo plans to launch its private-label products in Australia, Singapore, South Korea, and other countries this year.

🌱 Social – We employ almost 300 disabled people. December 3rd was the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and we’re proud to share that we employ almost 300 disabled people in a variety of roles at Freshippo. We’re dedicated to helping our disabled staff fulfill their potential and removing barriers to their career progression. Most of our disabled personnel work in sorting, bakery production, and store operations – and in some other areas too. We offer extra orientation training to all our disabled employees, and we prioritize their needs when organizing shifts. We use digital tools to level the playing field for our disabled staff. For example, hearing-impaired staff can access product information on devices instead of relying on oral communication when sorting products in our warehouses. We believe that everyone, especially disabled people, deserves care and support from their employer. We hope that in future, more employers will assist disabled people to start a fulfilling career.
