Twelve varieties of Planters nuts will be available to buy online through an exclusive detail with e-commerce retailer JD.com. Kraft Heinz said online shoppers in China, especially younger consumers, are willing to try new products. The products are being imported from the US.

“Online shopping is especially popular among the young audience. They are willing to try new things and more likely to accept imported goods. We can see important unmet consumer needs and opportunities to bring new products to the country,” Kraft Heinz said. “Younger consumers in China are more accepting of imported food by online shopping. These groups of people will bring greater opportunity and potential for the imported nuts market in the future.”
