Now it has reached winter, with the Spring Festival approaching, a large number of melons, fruits and vegetables on the market, the market began to be hot. In the autumn and winter, as people's favorite Shatin grapefruit, it is also on the market in large quantities. Shatian grapefruit is most famous in Rong County, Guangxi, where the planting area of Shatian grapefruit was as high as 232,000 mu as early as last year, an increase of 5.43% over the previous year.
From 20 yuan / a casual sale, now 0.9 yuan / catty can not be sold, when will the price of grapefruit fall?
It's Sha Tin grapefruit season, but its price has suffered from "Waterloo". Taking Guangxi as an example, the current wholesale price of Shatian grapefruit is only 1.8-3.0 yuan / kg, and the price in many places has fallen below one dollar and one catty. Taking the editor's hometown of Guangxi as an example, there are currently several models for the retail price of Shatian grapefruit.
The modest shatin grapefruit sells for 100 yuan for 12-14 pieces, and the synthetic retail price is 7.0-8.1 yuan per piece. According to the Sha tin grapefruit 2 pounds, then the price is 3.5-4.0 yuan / catty. The market wholesale price is lower, and the current mainstream wholesale price of Shatian grapefruit is 0.9-1.5 yuan / catty. Fruit growers sell a grapefruit for less than 10 yuan, which is a 2/3 drop in price compared to three years ago.
The flesh of Sha Tin pomelo is sweet and refreshing, especially after being stored for a period of time after picking, the flesh of Sha Tin pomelo is fully saccharified and has a higher sweetness, which is more loved by consumers. However, nowadays we can see many fruit growers selling along the street, and the road is lined with bags of Sha Tin grapefruit. 100 yuan 12, 100 yuan 15 can be seen everywhere.
This year's Sha Tin grapefruit prices have been falling, from the end of October of the good ripe, Sha Tin grapefruit has been on the market, and now in December of the lunar calendar is the best time to market Sha Tin grapefruit, because the shatin grapefruit pulp at this time is fully saccharified, the taste is better, the sweetness is higher. But even if the price falls below 1 yuan / catty, grapefruit is still difficult to sell.
Sha tin grapefruit began to flourish in Guangxi, and then quickly expanded to all parts of the country. This year, the national production of grapefruit in Shatian is expected to reach more than 8 million tons. Because Sha Tin grapefruit is more resistant to storage, some traders speculate on the impact, and Sha Tin grapefruit is overstocked.
This has also led to the price has been high at the beginning, coupled with the current Shatian grapefruit planting fertilizer, labor costs continue to rise, reluctant to sell, wait and see the future market mentality is more intense. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the price of Sha Tin grapefruit has not risen for a long time, and major traders have begun to panic sell.
After entering January 2021, Sha Tin Yu began to expand rapidly in major markets. The production has increased significantly, and at the same time, the quality and taste of many Shatin grapefruit have declined, and the sweetness is not high, and consumers do not buy it. The rise in market prices has encountered obstacles, and in the superposition of the current yi and weather influences, shatin grapefruit inter-provincial long-distance transportation has been blocked. In the past, a moderately sized Sha tin grapefruit could sell for 20 yuan, but now 7 yuan a piece cannot be sold.
Sha Tin grapefruit is more delicious after a certain amount of accumulation of saccharification, but the price advantage is not obvious under the current circumstances. As a fruit grower, how to improve the quality of Sha Tin grapefruit and broaden sales channels has obviously become a problem to be solved.
