products,and related concepts and research status of online product sales.It is found that online reviews are a form of online word of mouth and a way of information dissemination.The main characteristic is fragile and perishable,and freshness is an important indicator to determine its value.In the online shopping process of fresh agricultural products,information related to product

quality.In addition,according to research,the perceived usefulness of consumers to online reviews also affects product sales.Because fresh produce is extremely prone to loss in the country of

products were obtained,plus crawling Data,such as sales rankings,cumulativereviews,and average ratings,are used as the basis for empirical analysis.Fourth,empirical analysis: This paper first uses statistical software SPSS19.0 to perform descriptive statistics and correlation analysis on the survey samples to explain the basic situation of the sample data and the applicability of the samples,and then use model regression analysis to perform hypothesis testing and Intermediate effect test.The following conclusions are obtained through research:(1)Structured data of online reviews: The number and ratings of reviews have a direct positive impact on the online sales of fresh produce.(2)Review texts of online reviews: Product quality,packaging logistics,and textual sentiment have a direct positive impact on product sales.Commentary texts have positive sentiment to persuade potential consumers,and through the text,consumers pay attention to products when they purchase
