China's online marketing giant Alibaba plans to launch the world's first e-commerce satellite next year to provide people with the best vegetables after analysing agricultural cultivation and harvesting data.

Alibaba’s e-commerce satellite project is in cooperation with the China Space Museum and the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.

According to the report, Juhuasuan.com, a group shopping website affiliated with Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, has recently announced plans to launch the world's first e-commerce satellite.

Juhuasuan.com plans to provide consumers with the world's best vegetables after analyzing agricultural cultivation and harvesting data provided by satellites.

“In the future, consumers on the Juhuasuan platform will be able to enjoy high-quality goods that follow the trajectory of the satellites,” Liu Bo, general manager of juhuasuan.com said.

Liu said the company aimed to develop a series of customised products with the help of such satellites.

The Shenzhou-11 carrier rocket will be made into daily commodities such as umbrellas, jewel cases and vacuum cups. These goods will be available on Juhuasuan.com from Sept. 23 to 25.
