The Spring Festival is approaching, and everyone will buy some New Year goods in advance, including fruits. What is the current price of fruits such as cherries and strawberries that everyone pays attention to? On the 20th, a Red Star News reporter visited Chengdu's largest fruit wholesale market, the Mengyang Fruit Wholesale Market, and learned that Chelizi has ushered in a wave of price increases in the past week. Due to the relatively small supply, it may rise years ago. Prices may decline over the years as listings increase.
At about 11:00 a.m. on the 20th, vehicles outside the Mengyang Fruit Wholesale Market had lined up in a long line. Among them, there are both private cars and trucks more than ten meters long. "There are fruits from all over the country and even the world in the market, and then these fruits are sold to the whole country." The relevant person in charge of the market said that with the Approaching Spring Festival, the order volume has increased, and the market has ushered in a trading climax in recent days. On the 19th, the fruit trading volume of the entire market reached 6500 tons. Usually, the average daily trading volume of the market is around 4,000 tons.
The "Rolls-Royce" spring festival in Chelizi is expected to arrive
Not far into the market, you can see the cherries piled up to the chest high. In front of the shop, a member of the public is inquiring for a price. "About 300 yuan for a single hook, about 350 yuan for a double hook, and about 400 yuan for a third hook are all the prices of ten catties." Liu Lijie, logistics director of Xinnong Chain Trading Co., Ltd., the top three sales of cherries in the market, said that in the past week, Cherries have been rising in price, basically one piece a day will rise by one or two yuan. There are ten pounds per piece of cherries, and there are two kinds of ten pounds a whole box and two five pound boxes. The reporter found that the double hook's cherry is slightly larger than a one-dollar coin.

Compared with the price of more than 200 yuan per piece of ten pounds last year, why has the price of cherries continued to rise recently? Xu Yanfeng, general manager of Chengdu Fruit Market in The Mengyang Fruit Wholesale Market, said that the price increase was caused by the superposition of many factors. This year's Spring Festival is a week earlier than last year, while the ripening period in Chile, where cherries are produced, has been delayed by a week. At the same time, the inspection and quarantine of imported fruits has become more stringent recently, and the customs clearance time is relatively longer. The peak of demand, did not encounter the most abundant supply, the supply exceeded demand, and the price rose accordingly. According to the production of previous years, about half of the total number of cherries will be listed in the next year, and the price may be reduced at that time.
"There are still a lot of people who buy it every day, and they can sell about 4,000 pieces." Liu Lijie said that compared with last year, sales have declined, but the goods that arrived can basically be sold out. In addition to the different specifications, the same specifications of the cherries are also divided into different varieties. "You can pinch it." Liu Lijie said that the current price of goods from high to low has three kinds of ice, Santiara and Labins, of which ice is the hardest and Santiago is relatively sweet. Chinese New Year's Eve Regina and Cordia, who are of better quality before and after the day, may arrive one after another, "Codea is the 'Rolls-Royce' in Cherries." ”
The nucleic acid should be measured twice before the imported fruit enters the market
The price of cherries has risen, but what about other imported fruits? Zhang Wang, head of the Chengdu branch of Zhanhui Trading Co., Ltd., the top three longan sales in the market, said that compared with previous years, the price of this year is low, and the price of a 23-kilogram imported longan last year was about 180 or 90 yuan, and this year it was about 160 or 70 yuan. In addition to wholesalers, many companies will hold annual meetings and team buildings. In addition to imported fruits, locally produced winter strawberries are also popular fruits in the market. "10 grams to 15 grams of small fruits are seventeen or eight yuan per kilogram, 16 grams to 20 grams of medium fruits are 20 yuan per kilogram, and large fruits of more than 21 grams are 27 yuan to 30 yuan per kilogram." Long Xiang, head of Longxiang Commerce and Trade, who grows seven or eight hundred acres of strawberries, said that the price of strawberries has changed greatly, and may be able to sell for 30 yuan today, and tomorrow it will only be more than ten yuan, and the average price this year will be two or three yuan higher than last year. It is the season to eat strawberries, and many citizens, merchants and supermarkets come to buy them.
All fruits entering the market are subject to strict quarantine
What are the barriers that imported fruits from the Mengyang Fruit Wholesale Market will go through when they enter the market for sale? Dai Yuanli, director of the Food Safety Office of the Mengyang Fruit Wholesale Market, said that imported fruits will first be inspected and quarantined at the customs, and will be sent to various places after passing customs clearance. Among them, the imported fruits sent to the market will not only conduct a nucleic acid test and preventive disinfection at the customs before entering the market, but also another nucleic acid test and preventive disinfection in the supervision warehouse of Pengzhou City. The last imported fruit that enters the market needs to have "five certificates and one code", including customs declaration, inspection and quarantine certificate, nucleic acid test report, disinfection report, warehouse clearance certificate issued by Pengzhou Municipal Government, and traceability QR code of Sichuan Food Safety. At the same time, all imported fruits and vehicles entering the regulatory warehouse will be preventively disinfected again. Not only fruits, Xu Yanfeng said that the entire market will conduct nucleic acid sampling of imported fruits, environments and practitioners in the market every week to ensure that everyone can eat at ease.
