Raspberry is not only a delicious wild fruit in people's childhood memories, but also a chinese herbal medicine. Due to the high efficiency of planting and the good market conditions, in recent years, many growers have domesticated wild raspberries for artificial planting, and their planting scale has developed rapidly.
From 2016 to 2017, the raspberry market went all the way up, and the purchase price of green fruits after drying rose to hundreds of yuan a catty, and the peak price reached about 340 yuan per kilogram, and the high price momentum was "cut off" in 2018.
The reporter learned from the interview that this year, the price of raspberries was once again "waist chopped", and the purchase price of green fruit (sun-dried) ranged from 20 yuan to 50 yuan per kilogram, and the purchase price of green fruit (wet) in some areas was only 4.5 yuan per kilogram.
Why did the price of raspberries that once exploded plummet? Today, we invite Chen Chong, a special commentator of the Voice of China Village, to analyze the reasons for this.
"Sky-high" raspberry walks down the "altar"
There are 2 reasons for this
What topics have been hottest in agricultural circles in recent times? That must have been a spike in the price of fruit. However, in the case of most fruit prices remaining high, the price of raspberries has fallen nearly 10 times this year, mainly for the following two reasons:
1, the expansion of production capacity is too fast, causing prices to plummet
Raspberries do not have high requirements for soil and technology, can be propagated by cuttings of local wild varieties, mountainous and flat land can be planted; less input, in addition to the high proportion of picking costs, other land rents, facilities and equipment and other expenditures are small, the drying operation after the fruit is picked, and it only takes about 3 days of exposure to the sun; the output is fast, and it can bear fruit after 15 months of planting, the yield of the first mu is lower, about 20 kg, the second year can produce 40 kg, and the third year can reach 80 kg. Therefore, since the raspberry fire, the rapid expansion of the scale of planting has laid hidden dangers for the market trend, and there has been a situation of oversupply.
2, Chinese medicine raspberries have "Li Kui" and "Li Ghost"
Originally, according to the provisions of the new pharmacopoeia, the so-called "Li Kui" refers to the official orthodox raspberry - palm leaf raspberries; and raspberries of raspberries, such as raspberries, because they do not contain the two substances of ellagic acid and kaempferol, they have become "Li ghost" and cannot be counted as official orthodox raspberries.
Of course, due to different identities, the price of palm leaf raspberries and raspberries and raspberries also has a huge difference, the dry goods of palm leaf raspberries can sell for 100 yuan / kg, and the dried goods of raspberries and raspberries can only be sold to 7-8 yuan / kg. However, from the appearance point of view, it is difficult to distinguish between palm leaf raspberries and raspberries, and the latter is often used to impersonate the former in the market, which has a self-evident impact on orthodox raspberries. After entering the fruit circle, although the fresh fruit type of palm leaf raspberry is greater than the fresh fruit of raspberry and raspberry, the appearance is not much different, the taste is almost the same, and it is not competitive, resulting in a price drop.
Farmers want to grow net-red produce
Please accept these 3 suggestions
Whether it is palm leaf raspberries or raspberries, from the small wild fruit in the mountains to large-scale cultivation and cultivation, it is because everyone once thought that it would definitely have a "prosperous" prospect. But in hindsight, this prosperity was the prosperity of the Internet, the prosperity of propaganda. Rather than saying that raspberries "fell off the altar", it was better to say that it "never became a god".
After the appearance of raspberries, similar net red fruits also appeared in batches. In the face of such a seemingly promising agricultural product, how should the majority of growers weigh it? Here are 3 suggestions for your reference.
1, "short-lived" agricultural products do not touch
Do you remember Cordyceps sinensis and maca? This kind of hyped up thing will only be "short-lived", and the speculators will withdraw after making a lot of money, and the mess left behind still needs to be borne by the majority of growers. Therefore, such a thing is best not to touch.
2, you can be the first to "eat crabs", but be careful to "raise crabs"
Some people will say, "The first person to eat crab can make money, and the first person to start early can get rich earlier." "Of course, this kind of crab can be eaten, but it can only be tasted and not greedy, otherwise it is easy to hurt the body." The same is true of the planting industry, less planting points can sell a fresh, we must control the scale of planting, must not blindly expand. Sometimes the scale of the planting is larger, and the risk is naturally greater.
3. In the face of "promising" planting projects, we must always keep our senses
There is no huge profit in the planting industry, and in any case, everyone must firmly believe in this principle. If someone fools you into saying that you can "get 100,000 yuan per acre" by planting a little, you must be careful. Raspberry is the best example, its value we have to affirm, perhaps when the heat subsides, it may usher in a price increase again, but when the price rises again, I hope that everyone should look at it rationally.
