Industry insiders expect that:
The price of cherries will continue to fall
Supply increases
It is the main reason for the decline in the price of cherries
In fact, this year's cherry prices are not so low from the beginning of the market, and there were high prices in the early stage due to the production reduction of importing countries. However, with the passage of time, the production in various places has increased, and the price has shown a continuous downward trend.
Mr. Li, the head of a supermarket chain engaged in purchasing, expects the price of cherries to fall next week, according to the China Securities Journal. "Now all the cherries on our side come from Guangzhou, and large foreign cargo ships are transported to Guangzhou first, and then sent to various markets. There is another shipment today, so the supply will increase a lot, and the price should go down next week. ”
Mr. Lee pointed out
New Year's Day is the peak season for stocking up in advance

Advances in fresh-locking technology
It will also make the price of fruit lower and lower
"Taking Hongyan strawberries as an example, strawberries are not easy to preserve, afraid of pressure, and the loss rate is relatively high during transportation, which leads to an increase in costs, and the final terminal price will be relatively high. However, now that the fresh-locking technology and the preservation during transportation are getting better and better, the price will naturally come down after the cost drops. Mr. Li said.
Industry insiders expect that as the Spring Festival approaches, cherries will enter the peak of sales in late January. According to CCTV financial reports, Sun Chao, the fruit director of a fresh supermarket in Beijing, said that the sales volume in the next week will increase by 60% to 70%.
There is a fruit merchant introduction
Cherries are selling well
There are reasons for the peak consumption season for the New Year's holiday
But it has more to do with the big price drop of the cherries themselves

High-end fruits such as blueberries and strawberries
There have been varying degrees of price reductions
Figure/Interface News
"The obvious price reduction pattern of cherries and strawberries in January has often appeared in recent years, and the trend of price reduction of high-end fruits is also becoming the norm. Liu Cong, a buyer who has been operating all kinds of fruits in Hankou for many years, said that from about 2021, the price of cherries in winter has been "halved" for four consecutive years, and they have become real "home-cooked fruits" around the Spring Festival.
According to public reports in previous years, in January 2021, the lowest market price of cherries was only 20 yuan a catty, and from 2022 to 2023, the lowest price of cherries remained between 20 yuan and 30 yuan.
Based on the experience of previous years
Consumer demand in the fruit market decreased after the Spring Festival
And the production and arrival of strawberries and cherries
will continue to increase
Citizens at that time
It is more cost-effective to eat these "high-end fruits".
