Coconut is a fruit that can be found everywhere in Hainan, and it is also one of the most representative symbols of Hainan, and the provincial capital Haikou is called Coconut City. Coconut trees can almost be seen in the fields of the countryside, on both sides of the roads of the city, or even in some inconspicuous wilderness.
Hainan coconut trees are everywhere
Coconut trees can be seen everywhere, coconuts have naturally become civilian fruits, in 2006, Hainan streets and alleys can be seen almost everywhere to sell coconut vendors, a piece of five one, after drinking let the boss cut open the coconut, take a small piece of coconut shell can be scraped inside the tender coconut meat to eat, can be regarded as a real good price.

Ten years later, what about today? The coconuts on the street have long been sold for a minimum of 6 yuan a piece, and many places are basically maintained at eight or ten yuan, and if it is a tourist attraction, the minimum is also 15 yuan a piece. The price of a coconut has more than quadrupled.
Coconut prices have risen sharply
In recent years, the coconut trees in Hainan have not been cut down in a large area, and in recent years, the natural enemy of coconut palms has also been effectively controlled, and coconut production has almost remained stable or increased, so why has the price of coconuts changed so much?
Coconuts have also become "fragrant"
The reason is that it is still related to the construction of Hainan International Tourism Island, the number of tourists is large, and the consumption of coconuts, which is a representative product of Hainan, has naturally increased greatly, resulting in price increases. Second, modern people pay more and more attention to pure natural health food, and coconut is naturally more favored than bottled drinks. Third, labor costs have risen a lot, picking coconuts, cutting coconuts, these all need to spend labor, and now, the wages of migrant workers can reach more than two or three hundred a day, compared with the past at least doubled, indirectly led to the rise in coconut prices.
