Recently, popular science blogger "Fruit Hunter Yang Xiaoyang" released a paragraph**, saying that Dongfang Selection was suspected of false propaganda.
According to Yang Xiaoyang, Dongfang Selection marked the kumquat products it sells as "big fruit" in the promotion, but the actual weight of the product is only 15g-20g, which belongs to the category of "medium fruit". This practice of down-specifying shipments is clearly a commercial practice that treats consumers as easy targets for deception.
At the same time, Yang Xiaoyang pointed out that Dongfang Selection's so-called "big fruit" with a lower ** sales is actually opportunistic under the control of capital. He is worried that this kind of first-class war will not only lead to "cheap fruits and hurt farmers", but also make the entire industry fall into the whirlpool of vicious competition.
In addition, Yang Xiaoyang also exposed a serious problem in Dongfang Selection's promotion of products. Although the promotional materials claim to be kumquat from Rong'an, the actual sale is "crispy kumquat" that is not produced in Rong'an County. At the end of *, the supporting unit is marked as the relevant department of Rong'an County.
*Next, some netizens in Guangxi commented that "the expression in the live broadcast room of Oriental Selection is indeed wrong!."I left a message in the comment area of their live broadcast to correct it, but it had no effect (maybe there were too many barrages)".
Through investigation, the reporter found that there are currently 3 kumquat products on sale in Dongfang Selection, and the controversy is that Dongfang Selection's "'Selection Self-operated' Oriental Selection Guangxi Crispy Kumquat 3 Kilograms" products, showing that 18 have been sold60,000, 3 catties of single fruit specifications are 12-15g and 15-19g, ** are 29$9 and $36$9. In the product information column of the product, it is clearly stated that the origin is from Rong'an County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
It is worth noting that this product has not been marked with medium fruit or large fruit on the purchase interface, but in its evaluation area, it shows that 12-15g is medium fruit and 15-19g is large fruit. In a store called "Rong'an Kumquat Official***, Rong'an Smooth Peel Kumquat Zhongguo 3 catties are 30-35 catties, that is, the single fruit specification is 14-17g, and the actual price is 47$8.
Subsequently, the reporter called the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Rong'an County, Liuzhou City, and the staff told the reporter that only varieties such as "Slippery Kumquat" and "Crispy Honey Kumquat" were produced in Rong'an County, and "Crispy Kumquat" was produced in Guilin.
In this regard, the official customer service of Dongfang Selection responded that crispy kumquat is the name of the product, describing the crisp characteristics of the product, which is produced in Rong'an, Guangxi, and you can place an order with confidence.
On December 26, "Fruit Hunter Yang Xiaoyang" spoke out again in the comment area: @东方甄选 itself is not a big problem, you can face up to the response and rectification, you have to take a small road, let me delete **?If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the problem that raises itIf you do something wrong, you won't be ashamed to be beaten, and if you have to play tricks, I will only accompany you to the end.
The reporter tried to interview "Fruit Hunter Yang Xiaoyang" for more details, but the other party said that it was inconvenient to be interviewed.
According to the official account of Oriental Selection, from December 28th to 31st, Oriental Selection Guangxi will be broadcast. As of press time, Dongfang Selection has not responded to this matter.
