Since the middle of March, Dalian Greenhouse domestic cherries have ushered in the listing, when they were just listed, their price sold for 200 yuan a pound, which is higher than imported cherries. After all, a pound of cherries is also 30-80 yuan, but the reason why it is sold so low is because of the special situation this year, imports do not sell bids, domestic cherries are safer, coupled with low production, the price has risen.
However, as of today, the price of large cherries has ushered in a rapid decline, the market price has fallen to 40-50 yuan / catty, and the lowest price is sold to about 30 yuan.
The price fell so fast, so that many traders did not expect, in fact, its market fell sharply, one is affected by the increase in production, the current greenhouse cherries in many production areas are listed; one is that the taste is not too good, and there is a certain gap compared with the cherry, the consumer's purchase enthusiasm is not high, and it is not worth buying.
In fact, since April, China's local small cherries have ushered in a series of mature listings, and their entry into the market has also ushered in a lot of people's likes, but in the supermarkets in the city today, small cherries are difficult to see, but to go to the rural market "treasure hunting".
Mention of small cherries, I believe that many people are not strangers, the so-called "cherry delicious tree is difficult to plant", many families in the countryside have the habit of planting small cherries, generally need to be planted for more than 3 years to bear fruit, its fruit is relatively small, the color is more red, and the difference between cherry and cherry is still very obvious, so it also has the name of "red cherry".
I remember when I was a child, the standard of living was not too good, and it was not easy for rural babies to eat snacks, so everyone was looking forward to the early ripening of the fruit trees at home. In May of each year, the author's red cherries will ripen, and when they are picked and eaten, they will be sweet and sour, and people will want to continue to taste them.
However, when I grew up, I rarely ate red cherries again, except that I could eat it in the countryside, which was difficult to find in supermarkets, but the market was filled with all kinds of large cherries. However, it is now mid-to-late April, and the red cherries in the southern region are the first to ripen and are popular in rural gatherings.
In the Guiyang area, small cherries have been sold to the market, and many markets can see its existence. Aunt Wang is picking red cherries, and she says she has always liked this small cherry, which has been eaten for decades in the past, but now it is getting harder and harder to eat, so she will buy it every year after it is listed.
Aunt Wang said that the price of small cherries last year was not cheap, 25-30 yuan a pound, after all, it has just been listed, the market supply is not much, the price is expensive, but the market is only 15 yuan a pound, and the price on the stall is sold for 8 yuan a pound.
Ms. Zhao next to her said that she just bought a small cherry a few days ago, a pound of 20 yuan, but now it has fallen to 8 yuan, which is really scary. Asked how the small cherry tastes, Ms. Zhao said that it is ok, people who like to eat think it is not bad, but some people are not used to its acid, may not like it.
Some netizens have feedback that on the rural big set, small cherries have sold 5 yuan a catty, it can be said that this price is really lower than one. Fruit farmer Lao Zhao said that at the end of March and the beginning of April this year, small cherries ushered in the listing, at first the price of 30 yuan a catty, but successively fell to 20 yuan, 15 yuan, in mid-April fell to 10 yuan, 5 yuan.
As for why the market is so bad this year, one is because the temperature is much higher than usual, the growth period of small cherries has been advanced, and now the number of listings has increased; one is that there is more rain, and the decay rate of cherries is fast, once it is not sold cheaply, it may rot. Of course, because the storage period of small cherries is relatively short, it is difficult to transport them to other places for long distances, and they can only be sold to locals to taste, so the price naturally cannot be raised.
However, in a supermarket in Changsha, red cherries are really sold, and their appearance is high, which has attracted the attention of many people. However, its price is more expensive, a pound sold for 30 yuan, if the day can not be sold out, it will be sold at a discount, otherwise it will be lost the next day.
Lao Zhang, who lives in Sichuan, grows 80 acres of small cherries, and he said that the scientific name of small cherries is agate red cherries, and the marketing period is earlier than that of Shandong big cherries, so they can also take advantage of the super high heat.
Lao Zhang said that the current red cherry production in the orchard is 100,000 catties, but the overall sales are not too good, and only 1/3 of the current sales have been sold, and there are still 60,000 catties hanging on the tree. As for why, but also because the taste is a little sour, merchants are cautious about purchasing, the result is not large, the recent price pressure sentiment increased, so cherry sales are not too good, the recent price has declined.
Some people may ask, why is it so difficult to see small cherries in recent years? In fact, the most important thing is that the economic value is not as good as the big cherries, after all, the small cherries are sweet and sour, but many people can't stand the sour taste and are unwilling to buy, so the small cherries can't sell at a price, and many merchants are not willing to purchase, and the fruit farmers have to sell them to the rural market.
At the same time, today's large cherry planting area continues to increase, due to the high yield, the market digestion speed is slow, so the more to the back of the cheaper, last year once fell to 3-5 yuan. With the rise of large cherries, many people have forgotten small cherries, so those growers have also changed their professions, so there are fewer and fewer red cherries on the market.
