The Ministry of Trade will continue to supervise illegal online sales of imported second-hand clothing in accordance with the instructions of President Joko Widodo to protect the domestic textile industry and small and medium-sized enterprises from its competitive threats.

02 Shopee continues to increase investment in the Brazilian market

According to foreign media reports, in order to improve user delivery experience and improve logistics and distribution services in Brazil, Shopee has opened 2 new distribution centers in Brazil, increasing the total number of distribution centers in Brazil to 8.

It is reported that the two new distribution centers are respectively located in the cities of Recife and Salvador, with areas of 10,000 square meters and 6,000 square meters, respectively.

After the opening of the new distribution centers, Shopee can shorten the average delivery time for customers in the entire Northeast region. Previously, Shopee’s distribution centers were located in the south and southeast, respectively in the states of Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais.

In addition, the new distribution centers are leased by Shopee instead of being purchased. They use a cross-docking management mode, which optimizes delivery time and reduces product storage costs, allowing consumers to have cheaper delivery options.

According to Shopee’s statement, after the addition of the new distribution centers, its service capacity will increase to about 1.5 million orders per day, and its city coverage area will increase by about 40% compared to the second half of last year.

Since mid-2021, Shopee has made a lot of investment in Brazil, striving to provide consumers with the most diversified products and services.
