The most expensive thing during the Spring Festival every year is not the New Year's goods, but some out-of-season fruits, which are called fruit assassins. Speaking of fruit assassins, I have to talk about Cheerilee. I can't imagine that cherries were sold for more than 100 yuan a pound during the Spring Festival. However, the good news about cherries this year is that it is likely that cherries will usher in a big price reduction and will appear in supermarkets at a price that everyone can accept.

According to the national cherry price statistics in recent days, the price of cherries has been steadily and rapidly declining as cherries have arrived by sea. These cherries come from Chile in South America, weigh 200,000 tons, pass through the entire Pacific Ocean, and are transported by sea by cargo ship, really floating across the ocean to see you.
Imported cherries
The price of cherries that have passed through the ocean has naturally risen a lot, after all, the transportation cost has gone up. In November 2023, the price of Chilean cherries is 120 yuan a catty, which is really a fruit assassin, and ordinary people really can't afford to eat it, so you can buy 10 catties of pork instead. However, 2024 will be much better, and the price of cherries in January in some areas has dropped to 60 yuan a catty, and there are many more customers who buy them, and sales have skyrocketed. It seems that 60 yuan a pound of cherries is an acceptable price for most people.

Cherries
Why is this cherry so expensive? Isn't it just a big cherry? If it weren't for the season, the cherry wouldn't be so expensive, and everyone likes to buy some special fruits during the Spring Festival every year. Continental cherries happen to have no fruit in this season, and even if they are planted in greenhouses, it is difficult to control the market in this season. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, all the cherries sold on the market came from abroad, and people's purchasing efforts increased during this time, so the cherries were in short supply, and the merchants took the opportunity to raise the price, and finally the price was dried to 120 yuan a catty.

There may be a few reasons why cherries are more expensive:
1. High growing conditions: Cherries are generally grown in colder climates, such as North America and Europe. The growing conditions in these areas are important for the growth and development of cherries, including the right temperature, light and soil conditions. As a result, cherries are relatively expensive to grow and produce.

2. High cost of transportation and preservation: Since cherries are mainly produced abroad, they need to be transported long distances before they reach consumers. During transportation, the right temperature and humidity need to be maintained to ensure the freshness and taste of the cherries. This also increases the cost of transportation and preservation.
3. Supply and demand impact: The supply of cherries in the market is relatively small, while the consumer demand for them is relatively high. This imbalance between supply and demand will also lead to an increase in the price of cherries.

4. Brand and Quality: Some well-known brands or high-quality cherries may be priced higher due to their brand value and excellent quality. Autumn is the season when cherries are produced in large quantities in the mainland, and the price at that time is the cheapest, I went to the cherry garden in September last year to pick them, 30 yuan a catty. I think the price is the most suitable.
Speaking of cherries, they can be grown in most parts of the mainland, and they are actually an improved version of cherries, and I personally think that cherries taste average and are not as delicious as cherries. However, the cherry has the advantage of being able to be stored for more than a month under special conditions. And local cherries can't be stored for so long, and they will go bad after 3 days. This is the advantage of cherries, so it can be shipped from South America to China and even sold all over the world.
Fruit shop
Looking back a few years ago, the price of fruits was generally a few yuan a catty, and the more expensive ones were only a dozen yuan a catty. In the past, there were no out-of-season fruits during the Spring Festival, and the most common fruits were apples, pears, oranges, and green dates. In the past few years, through various means, fruits have been made regardless of the season, no matter what season, you can eat all fruits, as long as you are willing to spend money.
Mangosteen
What are the fruit assassins of the past?Cherries, Sunshine Rose grapes, mangosteen, durian, blueberries, strawberries. Among them, the "Sunshine Rose" has fallen off the altar, from fifty or sixty yuan a catty to 10 yuan and 3 catties now. The price of mangosteen is not as high as it used to be. The price of strawberries varies greatly according to the season, the most expensive is 30 yuan a catty, and the cheapest is 10 yuan and 3 catties.
Strawberry
The price of durian has always been expensive, that is, there are only very few areas in our country that can grow durian, and the durian in the supermarket is basically imported. In addition, the nutrition of durian is very good for the human body, and it is known as the king of fruits, so it is reasonable to be a little more expensive. Blueberries are a little cheaper than cherries, and generally at thirty or forty yuan a pound is the normal price. There are many places in the mainland that are growing blueberries one after another, and I believe that the price will become cheaper and cheaper in the future, and it will no longer be a fruit assassin.
