The spring breeze blows drunk in March, which is a good time to eat fruit.
This year's spring fruit has poured into the market, and as in previous years, the price of this year's spring fruit is still "demon".
Loquat becomes "loquat essence"
Loquat is a subtropical evergreen fruit tree native to the mainland, generally flowering in autumn or winter, and fruiting in the spring, also known as the "first fruit of spring".
But it is precisely because loquat is accustomed to early spring fruit that it is susceptible to frost damage. The main production area of early spring loquat in the mainland is Miyi County in Panzhihua, Sichuan, and the loquat produced is mostly called "Miyi Loquat", which has a very high market popularity. In previous years, the retail price of rice loquat listed in early spring was mostly 25-30 yuan / catty, but this year, due to heavy snowfall in the Panzhihua area, the local early spring loquat production was seriously reduced.
At present, loquat has become "loquat essence", and the price has risen to more than 50 yuan / catty, which is not comparable to ordinary fruits.
In the mainland, early spring loquat frost damage reduction is not the first time, loquat is not hardy, due to loquat autumn and winter flowering reasons, even in subtropical regions, loquat is still prone to frost damage when encountering low temperatures, resulting in reduced production.
Does loquat bloom in the spring and bear fruit in the summer?
There are also some, before we have introduced the spring flower loquat varieties selected by scientists at Sichuan Agricultural University on the mainland, which can bloom in spring and bear fruit in summer. But why don't some growers recognize this variety? It is not the reason for the good or bad variety, mainly because only the price of loquat in early spring will be high, and summer is the day when all kinds of fruits are discussed, and loquat cannot be sold at a high price.
Therefore, at present, loquat can only be frozen on one side, while turning into loquat essence in early spring, selling for a high price.
March Li Cheng "Outrageous Lee"
March plum is an extremely precocious plum variety among Chinese plums, and it is even precocious than the early-ripening Sanhua plum. In Guangdong, Fujian and other areas, there are more plums planted in March, and the main market seized is the early spring period.
In previous years, the normal price of Li in March after a large number of listings was also 7-15 yuan / jin, and a batch of extra-precocious ones could sell for 20-30 yuan / jin. This year, Fujian's precocious March plum has been listed, and the March plum listed in the spring has become an "outrageous plum", the price is also demonic, and a pound of March plum can sell for up to 40 yuan.
The mainland is the big fruit of plum production, and the Chinese plum is an ancient fruit, and it can be grown in both the north and the south. The planting of plum trees has certain requirements for the amount of cold required, that is to say, a certain low temperature time must be reached in winter to allow plum trees to flower and bear fruit normally. The cooling capacity of different plum varieties is also different, and the cold demand of Plum in March is the lowest among Chinese plum varieties, which does not require too low temperature and too much low temperature duration, which is more suitable for planting in the southern region.
Of course, compared to plums such as Sanhua plum and bee sugar plum, March plum as a whole is incomparable, and the only strong point is that it can grab the morning market. For a commodity fruit, it can be marketed in the morning, and it can generally be sold at a higher price.
The greenhouse big cherry is still smiling in the spring breeze
This year, greenhouse cherries in Dalian, Yantai and other places have also been listed. Open-air cherries are generally listed in May and June, while greenhouse cherries are already listed in a very small number during the Spring Festival slot, and March to April is the peak period for greenhouse cherries.
As a unique spring fruit in the north, the price of greenhouse cherries has always been very high in previous years, and this year is no exception. The greenhouse cherries listed in the Spring Festival stalls have been sold to 300-400 yuan / jin, and now after a large number of listings, the price has declined, and the retail price has dropped to 80-100 yuan / jin.
At present, the greenhouse cherries in the north are still the kings of spring fruits.
This year, the price of Chilean cherries is decent, and there is no direct price "waist cut" like last year. But this year, Chilean cherries have pressed too many goods at the end of the period, resulting in more "sales overlap" between the tails of cherries and the greenhouse cherries on the morning market. However, although the price of the tail truck is cheap, the quality can no longer be guaranteed, and it is difficult to compare with the greenhouse cherries that have just been listed.
If you feel that the price of greenhouse cherries is too expensive, don't worry too much.
After a while, it is estimated that the early-ripening open-air large cherries in Henan will also be listed, and the overall price of large cherries will continue to decline.
In addition to these 3 priced spring fruits, there are also early spring croissant melons in Shandong greenhouses that have also been listed. However, it may be affected by last year's market, the price of croissant honey in early spring this year is not too ideal, and the wholesale price of one pound is 7-8 yuan, which is about 20% lower than in previous years.
However, the retail price of croissant melon is still not low, not much different from previous years, some supermarkets sold to 12-15 yuan / catty, the price is still "demon".
The high price of Kaichun fruit is mainly determined by the cost and market. The fruit production that can grab the market in the spring is usually relatively small, and the fruit like the greenhouse has to increase the production cost, which generally pushes up the price of the spring fruit.
