Modern Express News (Reporter Lu Heyan text/photo) At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, fresh fruits such as cherries and strawberries entered the hot sales period. On January 2, 2024, a reporter from Modern Express visited a number of chain fruit stores and fresh supermarkets in Nanjing, and cherries deservedly occupied the C position. More than a month ago, cherries were sold for nearly 100 yuan a catty, but now the price has fallen by about 30%. There are stores where the discount price of 3J (fruit diameter level unit) Chilean cherries 5 catties is 319 yuan, with an average of more than 60 yuan per catty.
In a supermarket chain, cherries and strawberry boxes are piled up. A staff member said that since mid-to-late December 2023, the sales scale of cherries has gradually increased, and the 5-kilogram 3J original box of cherries has dropped from 360 yuan last week to 319 yuan, "However, the price of 4J cherries is still relatively expensive, and it is still hundreds of yuan per catty." ”
In the fruit store near Xinjiekou, Chilean 3J cherries cost 58 yuan to 69 yuan a catty, and some fruit stores put the cherries at a discount price of 39 yuan a catty. "This is because the number of cherries on the market has increased from the early Santina to many varieties such as Bing and Kodia. Depending on the quality of the variety, the price difference is very large. Wang Rui, director of the Nanjing Zhongcai Fruit Market Business Development Office, told the Modern Express reporter that the current wholesale price of 10 kilograms of cherries ranges from more than 400 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan per box. Due to the large number of cherries arriving by sea, the price of cherries has generally decreased. Taking the Chilean Santina cherries that arrived recently as an example, the average wholesale price is 580 yuan a box, that is, 58 yuan a catty, and the specification is 2J, which is 30 yuan a catty lower than more than a month ago. Towards the end of the year, there will be small fluctuations in prices.
Like cherries, strawberries are also on sale. In chain supermarkets, strawberries are mostly sold in boxes. Zhangji strawberries from Jinan, Shandong Province are 86.9 yuan a box, 2 catties, and Hongyan strawberries from Dandong, Liaoning Province are 78 yuan a box, 40 pieces, each marked with more than 20 grams, which is less than 2 yuan a piece, while the price of a strawberry of the same specification more than a month ago was more than 3 yuan. A staff member told reporters that with the large number of strawberries on the market in various places, the price will go down.
At a fruit stall near Daxing Palace, the proprietress greeted customers warmly. She told reporters that when strawberries first went on the market last month, they mainly sold strawberries from the Northeast, for thirty or forty yuan a catty, and customers who love strawberries will buy them and try them. Now there are more strawberries on the market in the local and surrounding areas, mainly selling Hongyan strawberries from Lishui and Jurong, and the price has dropped a lot. "In the morning, it was sold for 25 yuan a catty, and now there are three or four catties left, and 19 yuan a catty can be taken away. She said that the temperature was high in the early part of this year, and the real estate strawberries were produced a lot, and the price fell by two or three percent compared with the same period last year, and it was 3 yuan to 5 yuan cheaper per catty.
Ms. Wu, a citizen who was picking fruits, also felt the price drop of strawberries. She told reporters that half a month ago she bought less than half a catty of strawberries, which cost more than 20 yuan, and now it only costs more than 20 yuan for more than a catty, "and the taste is more mature and sweeter, so buy two catties and go back to taste it with family and friends." ”
A reporter from Modern Express visited and saw that some chain supermarkets launched cherry cake gift boxes and strawberry boxes in season. It's hard not to be drawn to this rich red when you go to the supermarket. The 900-gram cherry cake costs 109 yuan and is covered with a layer of 35 red cherries. The price of the 900-gram Hongyan strawberry box dropped from 88 yuan to 78 yuan, attracting the public to watch and buy. Xiao Liu, a citizen, said, "Cherries, strawberries and cream cake are a classic pairing, especially suitable for friends to put on the table at dinner." The cherries are particularly fresh, crunchy and sweet, the cake is thick, and the jam is not sweet and greasy, this is the second time I have bought it. ”
