Recently, the price of vegetables has risen sharply on a large scale, in addition to the regional disasters, climate impacts and agricultural materials that have been disclosed on the Internet, many friends believe that urbanization has also become a reason for the rise in vegetable prices. In fact, in the small editor's view, the construction of urbanization is difficult to make the price of vegetables rise to this extent today, the reason is very simple, as long as it is not a very large city, generally from the city center straight 50 kilometers, we can absolutely find the countryside, if it is a megacity, in the past we can not see the city around the vegetable field.
Although there are more houses in the city now, more greenery, but the city is getting bigger at the same time, the nearby area is also expanding, some places become urban areas at the same time, some places will become suburbs, that is to say, the places around the city can also increase the number of vegetables, but this phenomenon is not obvious, vegetable growers naturally have, but will not directly enter the hands of consumers, it is not necessarily, so we feel that there are fewer people growing vegetables, in fact, this is an illusion, because no matter how many people in the city, vegetables are enough to eat And the possibility of cross-regional transfer of vegetables is not large, so what is the reason why we feel that vegetables are grown less and less today? There are five main reasons.
We all know that in the past, in general, every inhabited place, there will be some scattered people who set up stalls, the number of these people is very large, especially in the evening, the shouting sound can be heard a kilometer away, most of the people here are their own farming, their own to the location of the stall to sell, even if some are low prices to buy high prices, but the price is not much higher, after all, the competition is fierce, but this kind of place, now there is no.
In the past, we called the people who grew vegetables around the city as vegetable farmers, and the people who sold vegetables on the stalls we could see were basically from the people around the city, and now even the stalls have disappeared, even if there is a place to grow vegetables, there is no place for sales, unless it is a large-scale plantation directly and supermarket counterpart supply, then the small natural disappears, planting points to eat on the line, in this case, in addition to seeing standardized large-scale plantations, naturally can not see the past suburbs are full of vegetables.
In addition to the stalls, in the past there were standard vegetable farms, even if it was just a cement board, it didn't look so tall, but the number was very large, it was this simple vegetable market, which accumulated a large number of people selling vegetables, and also attracted a large number of people who bought vegetables, the cost of selling vegetables was not large, the cost of people who bought vegetables was not large, but now this kind of vegetable market is slowly decreasing or deteriorating, which is also good, mainly because even the form of the last fixed stall has slowly disappeared, becoming a form of going it alone at home. Completely blocked the vegetable farmers who could not enter the community outside the iron gate.
When there is a wet market, in addition to the standard stalls, there will be some temporary stalls that can be used, and the vegetables in these temporary stalls are generally local vegetable farmers. But now that there is no such place, it is naturally meaningless for vegetable farmers to grow vegetables, and it can only be to think of other ways.
We all know that the early days of Internet software are all burning money, they have a strong capital as a backing, first to attract customers to the app, with a variety of offers and a variety of benefits to attract customers, and is a long period of attraction, how long? Just enough to make the people who sell vegetables unable to sustain themselves.
In this process, it will naturally lead to many vegetable farmers giving up selling vegetables, because the app is sent, our vegetable farmers can't afford to send ah, only do not plant, so a large number of vegetable farmers change their profession and disappear.
Nowadays, don't say that the young people in the city or on the outskirts of the city, even the young people in the countryside, mention that the land is afraid, and the group of people who really planted the land in the past are now fifty or sixty years old, but the people who are willing to cultivate the land today are still this group of people, but some of these people are old, and some are unwilling to plant, which is equivalent to the fact that there is no "successor" in the land, and there will naturally be a decrease in the number of people growing vegetables in the suburbs.
When urbanization was not common, the jobs needed in cities were generally relatively basic, and there were not many, but with the expansion of urbanization, the number of jobs needed in cities today increased, and people with certain knowledge structures were also needed, and this group of suburban young people who could have taken over from their parents to cultivate the land found better jobs and no longer planted land, and it is naturally difficult for us to see the phenomenon of vegetables everywhere on the outskirts of the city.
Many friends say that urbanization construction occupies a lot of cultivated land, so many places that can grow vegetables in the past have become houses and green belts, but many friends ignore a point, the construction of urbanization makes the infrastructure more perfect, as the above small editor said, the city center radiates 50 kilometers outwards must have rural areas, since there are rural areas can grow vegetables, but obviously, even if it is a rural area around the city, there is no large number of vegetables, why?
We can't blame this on the reluctance of the people around us to grow vegetables, but it is not cost-effective at all, because if you can't sell them, the price can't be set by yourself. The reason is very simple, the city's vegetable market they can not go in, the stalls have disappeared, and supermarkets and group buying app needs a large supplier, this kind of small vegetable farmers simply can not meet their needs, if they can sell stalls in the city, dozens of kilometers of an electric three-wheeler can be done, not to mention that many places may be less than 10 kilometers to the community, how much can the cost increase?
Since there is no market for planting, what is the meaning of planting? So we see that there is no one around the city to cultivate land, not only urbanization is so simple, the change of the market, the change of employment caused by the change of the city, we should also take into account, what do you think about this?
