However, with an appeal for #stayhome to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, you might be worried about buying vegetables and fruits at the supermarket. To overcome this problem, you can use these following online shopping apps and sites to buy vegetables, fruits, and other essentials.
1. HappyFresh
This app provides feature for sending message and call to make it easier for you to discuss with Personal Shopper, such as replacing an empty stock. HappyFresh also allows you to ask a trained Personal Shopper to choose the product according to your wishes. Do not worry, the product chosen will still have the same quality at a good price.
For the sake of riders’ health and safety, HappyFresh equips them with masks and hand sanitizers. Riders are also asked to carry out contactless delivery, which means, they will maintain a safe distance when delivering your groceries.
HappyFresh works with several well-known retailers such as Transmart, Farmers Market, Lotte Mart, HERO, Super Indo, and others to choose from. There are also stores that also work with HappyFresh such as Drink Corner, Natural Farm, VINES, BEST MEAT, Emme Florist, Wine Cellar, etc.

2. Sayurbox
Sayurbox was founded on the premise of the long chain of agricultural products to consumers. As a result, prices for consumers are high, while farmers' incomes are small. This app also wants to help farmers to connect with the market through digital technology.
Sayurbox applies the concept of a fresh produce platform and focuses on cutting the distribution chain. Consumers who want to order have a certain time at least two days in advance, so that the vegetables or fruits that are sent are fresh.
For reservation, you can access sayurbox.com or download the app on Google Play Store.
3. Tanihub
TaniHub is an e-commerce for agricultural products with the aim of connecting farmers with various types of businesses and buyers. Because the delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables is different from other items delivery, TaniHub keeps it really cold-chain to keep the fruits and vegetables fresh until they reach the buyers. The reason is, for shipping itself, it takes one day from purchase.
The TaniHub app will make it easy for you to shop for vegetables and fruits. The prices are quite affordable and very suitable for you who like to shop wholesale. You can download the Tanihub app on the App Store and Play Store, or visit their website on tanihub.com.
