Since the reform and opening up, with China’s rapid economic growth, a substantial increase in income of rural residents, living standards across several consecutive steps, followed by the rural consumer market continued active and expanding. It should be noted, the vast majority of China’s rural population accounts for the reality of the national population in terms of domestic consumption, especially in rural areas the contribution of consumption to economic development remains to be improved, the rural consumer market is vast.
