With the approaching of the Spring Festival, many people have chosen to let go of themselves, worked hard for a long year, and watched as the days of the holiday are getting closer and closer, and the pressure in their hearts is much smaller. And everyone has more energy to focus on food, especially seasonal fruits.
The common seasonal fruit in the winter market is citrus, even if the sugar orange is very delicious, but eat more is also used to it, some imported tropical fruits, such as durian, dragon fruit, longan, etc., have been favored by everyone. Among them, Vietnam's dragon fruit is exported to China all year round, but now affected by the epidemic, there are hundreds of tons of unsalable, and the price of dragon fruit in the domestic market has risen repeatedly, and many netizens said that they can't afford to eat.
Tropical fruits have always been very popular in the market, and many consumers are fond of it and are willing to buy. There are not many seasonal tropical fruits in domestic winter, coupled with the fact that there are very few suitable breeding areas in China, mainly concentrated in Hainan and Liangguang, relying on domestic production is difficult to meet their own needs, so they have to be imported every year. Dragon fruit is not unfamiliar with this fruit, at first it was only known in the south, but later successfully realized the southern fruit of the north, this fruit also has a great reputation in the northern market.
Now it is winter, the domestic dragon fruit production is small, the market demand is large, in previous years, vietnam's dragon fruit will be exported to the country in large quantities, becoming the main force of supply.
Vietnam's red heart dragon fruit is the most famous, its skin is thicker, the storage time is longer, the fruit surface is clean, the scales are emerald green, the whole fruit is very full, the flesh is delicate and sweet, the juice is abundant, and the quality is very good. At this time of year, Vietnamese dragon fruit will be sold in large quantities to the domestic market, and the lack of competition from domestic dragon fruit at this time is also the best time to sell. However, now affected by the epidemic, there has been congestion at the local export (to Guangxi) ports in Vietnam, and the situation in Vietnam's dragon fruit production areas is not optimistic.
Some time ago, Vietnam's fruits matured in large quantities, in order to catch up with the christmas and Spring Festival after that, Vietnam's fruit exporters have stepped up shipments, but now the epidemic can not be ignored, resulting in slower customs clearance, Vietnamese ports of trucks queued up, a large number of fruit backlog, durian, jackfruit, mango, dragon fruit, longan and so on a large number, can reach hundreds of tons. These fruits have been stranded at the port for a long time, it has been more than ten days, tropical fruits are not tolerant to storage, some fruits have rotted, and merchants have no choice but to dispose of them on the spot and throw them away.
Now the domestic dragon fruit has passed the season, most of the market sales rely on imports, and Vietnam, as the main export place of dragon fruit, stayed at the port for 10 days, thousands of transport trucks are still queuing, and even many trucks are not lined up, although the quality of these fruits is good, but after layers of quarantine, it takes a long time to truly enter the domestic market.
The market demand for dragon fruit is large, and now the supply is not available, so its wholesale price has been rising, and it has now risen to 6 yuan a catty, and it may rise again in the later stage. The wholesale price sells for 6 yuan, and the market retail price is higher, and many netizens said that this is unaffordable.
In the past, the main feature of Vietnamese dragon fruit was cost performance, the price was cheap, but now it is too expensive, a dragon fruit will cost more than a dozen dollars. In fact, there are many fruits in China, now it is the harvest season of a variety of citrus, the price is cheap, the yield is high, and the quality is also good, instead of spending a high price to buy dragon fruit, it is better to spend the same price to buy domestic fruits, dates, loquats, rake citrus are also the fruits of the current season, but also to help fruit farmers, kill two birds with one stone.
