In the blink of an eye, it's April, and it's late spring, and the weather is starting to get warmer. At this time, the price issue that the people are most concerned about began to change subtly, and this change made the people see hope for life, because prices seemed to have fallen, and it was a big fall.
This change is not difficult to find for friends who often visit the vegetable market. Because from the end of last year to the early spring of this year, ordinary people are experiencing a stage of high prices, the cost of living can be said to be increasing, and even the quality of life of many people has begun to decrease. Just when people were at a loss, prices ushered in the good news of a sharp drop. So, let's take a look at what has fallen in price.
01. The prices of various daily necessities have fallen
First, vegetable prices have continued to fall
Vegetables are the necessities of people's lives, and their prices directly affect people's quality of life. However, the current price of vegetables can be said to be particularly beneficial to the people, because whether it is cucumber, pepper, eggplant, or cabbage, cauliflower, celery and other vegetables, the price is falling.
According to today's market price of vegetables in Shouguang, Shandong, it can be seen that the prices of all kinds of vegetables have fallen to varying degrees.
Among them, the average price of melons and vegetables is 1 yuan/jin, like the price of cucumber is 0.9-1.1 yuan/jin, the price of zucchini is 05.-0.6 yuan/jin, and the price of large winter melon is 1.1-1.3 yuan/jin;
The average price of eggplant vegetables is 1.8 yuan/jin, such as eggplant price is 1.4-1.5 yuan/jin, tomato seedling price is 2.1-2.4 yuan/jin, and pepper price is 1.2-1.7 yuan/jin;
The average price of leafy vegetables is 0.9 yuan/jin, like celery is 0.8-1.1 yuan/jin, Chinese cabbage is 0.5-0.7 yuan/jin, cabbage is 0.7-1.1 yuan/jin, and spinach is 0.8-1.3 yuan/jin.
As far as vegetable prices are concerned, most vegetable prices are declining, except for tomatoes, which are relatively stable. This is indispensable because the temperature rises and the supply of vegetables increases; and in late spring and early summer, the decline in vegetable prices is also a normal phenomenon, which is a seasonal price drop.
Second, crayfish plummeted
As the weather warms up, crayfish are in peak season again. However, compared with the high prices of previous years, the price of crayfish this year is a bit bleak.
It is understood that the price of crayfish is less than 16 yuan per catty, and the wholesale price is about 10 yuan, although it is a small and medium-sized shrimp, but for the people, it is indeed a lot of benefits, and the merchant said that the price of crayfish will be cheaper next, and it is expected that the price of small shrimp will come to single digits in May, and the shrimp is about 10 yuan per catty.
Such a price close to the people really made the people's eyes shine, and they said that they were about to realize the freedom to eat shrimp.
Third, the price of durian is half folded
Durian, has always been an aristocratic fruit, a fruit that is difficult for civilians to achieve freedom, its price in previous years was 40 yuan / catty, even in the peak season, the price of durian is more than 25 yuan / catty, but this year's durian price is a little different.
Although a few days ago, the price of durian that has just been listed can be described as a bit "expensive". But after just half a month, the price of durian has plummeted, including Vietnam's Ganyao durian, which is less than 23 yuan per catty, and Thailand's Golden Pillow durian is about 28 yuan per catty. This price is much lower than the price of durian, which was just launched last year.
Moreover, with the arrival of May Day, the supply of durian in Thailand will continue to increase, and durians from Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries will also mature and be sold to China, and the price of durian will continue to decline, and the average price may remain at about 22 yuan per catty.
Fourth, strawberries have become popular
Compared to durian, the price of strawberries is much lower. I vaguely remember that around the Chinese New Year, the price of strawberries was still 18 yuan/catty, and after a spring, the price of strawberries finally came to 3.99 yuan/catty, which is still the selling price, and the wholesale price has been lower than 3 yuan/catty.
This means that the price of strawberries is lower than that of sugar oranges, and even lower than the price of sugar apples. In this way, the common people will be able to realize the freedom of strawberries.
Of course, in addition to strawberries, the prices of Yantai apples, Qiuyue pears and other fruits have also fallen sharply, coming to 2 yuan/jin and 3 yuan/jin respectively.
In this way, not only the price of vegetables is currently falling, but also the price of fruits, meat, eggs and seafood is also falling, which is a good thing for the people.
02.What is the reason for the decline in prices in April?
First of all, the increase in supply leads to: The weather is warmer, the greenhouse vegetables and fruits are growing better, and the supply increases greatly in a short period of time, resulting in sufficient market supply and falling prices;
Second, the seasonal pullback. In fact, not only this year, April every year is the time when prices fall, but this year's decline is larger.
In the end, the common people have no money in their hands. The economic situation in the past two years has not been optimistic, especially after the New Year, many people have not worked well, and even their wages have become low, resulting in a tight life, and people are unwilling to consume, and prices have begun to fall.
Of course, the decline in the prices of many goods does not mean that the overall price of goods will fall, after all, the price level is affected by many factors. Moreover, the economic data in the first quarter of this year show that the per capita income of the common people has increased, whether it is urban residents or peasant friends, the per capita income has increased, but the common people are just unwilling to spend money.
In conclusion, the fall in prices is a good thing for people because it can reduce the cost of living and make life easier. However, it is recommended that everyone should also look at this issue with a calm mind, after all, the overall price trend is still full of uncertainty.
Well, that's all for what I'm talking about today's price drop. In other words, do you feel the drop in prices? Do you think prices will rise or fall in the future? You can leave a message, comment, and everyone will tell us about the price situation over there.
