Coffee product delivery ushered in a small peak during the Qingming Festival holiday

At present, coffee planting and picking in my country is coming to an end. Data from the State Post Bureau shows that coffee product delivery has also ushered in a small peak. Among them, the volume of parcels in Baoshan, Yunnan increased by 7%.
