The hottest topic in recent days is the sharp rise in vegetables, since the middle of October, the price of vegetables has risen to more than 6 yuan, and the price of some dishes has exceeded 10 yuan, which is more expensive than pork.
For example, a netizen in Suzhou complained that spinach on the market still sold for 12 yuan a catty, artemisia annua also sold for 10.8 yuan, vegetable hearts 7.89 yuan / jin, bitter melon 8.8 yuan / jin, coriander 15 yuan / jin, cucumber 7.3 yuan / jin. Due to the sharp rise in vegetable prices, everyone can only buy some more eggs, pork or fish, after all, the egg market is 5.8 yuan / kg, the flower silver is 8 yuan / kg, and the pork is 13 yuan / kg.
Due to the rise in the price of vegetables, some hot pot shops have been allowed to bring their own vegetables, mainly because the price is too expensive, hot pot shops dare not buy too much, and can not easily increase the price, can only make this decision.
The recent rise in vegetable prices has also made many consumers adjust their dietary methods, and everyone is more inclined to meat food, and it is no wonder that many people ridicule "eat braised meat every day".
To say that the biggest increase in vegetables, undoubtedly spinach, lettuce, green onions, etc., in the eyes of many people, the price of its vegetables is high, then the vegetable farmers must make a lot of money, is this really the case?
At this time in previous years, the market price of spinach was only about 5 yuan, and the land price was only between 1.5-2 yuan, which was acceptable to consumers and vegetable farmers. But this year is different, in those big cities, spinach retail reached 15-18 yuan a catty, compared to pork prices are higher.
The retail price of spinach has risen, in fact, because the wholesale price has gone up, and in the wholesale market in shanghai center, the wholesale price of spinach has risen to 10 yuan a catty. As for why it has risen so high, some people said that the price of land has risen to 6-8 yuan, and high-quality spinach is 9-10 yuan a catty, so the wholesale price will rise so much.
From this point of view, can't vegetable farmers make a lot of money? However, vegetable farmers shook their heads, and did not earn more, in September, Shandong, Hebei and other places are basically in the rain, the result of spinach growth is slow, and the rain-stricken plots are more diseased, and rotten roots, rotten leaves, yellow leaves are more, spinach production is reduced by 6-70% compared with previous years.
In addition to the low yield, the quality of spinach is not high, which is why the price of high-quality spinach is high, mainly because there are too few. For vegetable farmers, this year's purchase price is high, but the yield is low, and everyone's income has not increased much, and the income of some vegetable farmers is only 2,000 yuan per mu.
Due to the sharp rise in green onions last year, vegetable farmers around the world have followed the trend to plant green onions this year, and the result has increased production, and by May, the price of green onions has fallen to 2-3 yuan, and the price of land has also fallen to 1 yuan. But this is still not the limit, in July and August, with a large number of green onions listed, the land price fell to 1-2 mao, the market price also fell back to about 8 mao, so the market onion farmers lost about 500 yuan.
However, since September, the price of onion has begun to rise, retail sales have risen to about 2-3 yuan, and the place of origin has also risen to 5-7 mao, and this price of onion farmers can only just protect the capital.
But what is unexpected is that since the middle of October, the price of onions has begun to rise, and from the point of view of the place of origin, the price of the land has risen to between 2.5-3 yuan, up 70% compared with January. The retail price of the market has risen to 5-6 yuan a catty, and many people have complained about "forward onions" coming again.
Some people wonder, why the price of onion has suddenly risen? In fact, although the planting area of green onions this year is large, it can experience losses in the first half of the year, and the scale of planting in the second half of the year has decreased, coupled with the fear of waterlogging, affected by the rain in September, many green onions are rotten, and the amount of marketing has decreased, which has driven the price higher.
However, for onion farmers, although the current price of onion has risen, in view of the loss in the first half of the year, it is good that everyone can make up for the cost. If the market continues to be strong, it will be profitable.
Lettuce as one of the most common vegetables in autumn, its price has not been too high, because of the high yield, in previous years the price of the place of production is only 2-3 mao, the rural market only sells about 8 mao, the city retail between 1.5-2 yuan. Although the price of the land is low, due to the high yield and low cost, one mu of land can earn one or two thousand yuan, and everyone is also satisfied.
However, due to the reduction in production, the current lettuce production area has risen to about 1.5 yuan, an increase of 5 times compared with previous years. But even so, many greengrocers complain that they can't receive vegetables at all, and they can't even receive 100 catties for a busy day.
A vegetable farmer in Henan said that after the rice harvest in previous years, everyone would plant lettuce and cabbage, but this year, lettuce and cabbage did not stop at the beginning of the growth of lettuce and cabbage, and the result was that its growth was not good, and the yield reduction was more serious. Therefore, although the price of land has risen, it can reduce production more, so it has not made any money.
Of course, other vegetables have also experienced such encounters, and their yields are not too impressive, and vegetable farmers naturally do not make much money. As for the middlemen, because of the rise in oil prices this year, the cost increased by 20%, coupled with the high price of the place of origin, they could not collect much vegetables, so the wholesale price rose, and they did not make much money.
Vegetable merchants are even more difficult, the purchase demand of the high price market has declined, but the wholesale price has risen, and the vegetable merchants can only helplessly follow up. However, the high price of vegetables is not much to buy, the loss is increased, and some vegetables are sold at all to make no money, but in order to meet the needs of all customers, it is still necessary to stock up.
As for when the price of vegetables will fall, some in the industry said that in November, the southern autumn vegetables will be listed intensively, and the price of vegetables will fall at that time, but the overall price may still be high.
