Abstract

In the context of the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the development of the digital economy closely connects with it. The realization of rural revitalization needs to make full use of the advantages of the digital economy to promote the process of rural revitalization. The digital wave is a huge opportunity for the poor to bridge the gap between rich and poor, seize digital opportunities, share digital dividends, achieve sustainable poverty alleviation, and prevent intergenerational transmission of poverty. The article will focus on two aspects of rural e-commerce and mobile payment. Through the discussion of the aspects, this paper gives the suggestion to the government, platforms, enterprises and farmers to work together to promote agricultural development and realize industrial digitalization by using existing resources.
