So what is the reason for the national vegetable price increase in June? Which dishes have gone up in price? Let's get to know each other.

Reasons for the National Vegetable Price Rising in June

First of all, since June, affected by the epidemic, Beijing Xinfadi Market has been closed, and the orders for locally produced vegetables have greatly increased, and the demand for vegetables is in short supply. They have called more than 30 workers to work overtime to pick and ensure timely supply.

Hao Jianli, who is in charge of sales, told reporters that the epidemic had a short-term impact on vegetable market transactions, which led to a sharp rise in local vegetable prices and affected the fluctuation of surrounding vegetable prices with the transmission of the supply chain.

Secondly, during the severe epidemic in COVID-19 in spring, the planting, seedling raising and planting of vegetables were affected to some extent, and the planting area of vegetables in cold areas decreased slightly compared with the same period last year.

In addition, since the summer of this year, the rainstorm in the south has been extensive and extreme. Recently, strong convective weather such as hail has appeared in Jilu, the main producing area in northern Natsuna, which has affected the normal growth of vegetables. The combination of these factors makes the overall vegetable price this summer higher than that of the same period last year, and it is also at a higher level in the same period of history.

Finally, the sales of leafy vegetables increased by 40% to 50%, and the cost increase was mainly affected by heavy rainfall in the south. For example, the prices of asparagus and oil wheat vegetables are 6.9 yuan/kg and 3.99 yuan/kg respectively, with an increase of about 10%.

Which dishes have gone up in price?

In June, the national average wholesale price of 28 kinds of vegetables monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was 2.02 yuan per catty, up 3.3% from the previous month and 5.2% from the same period last year.

By variety, the price of vegetables increased 17 and decreased 1 1. Among them, cauliflower, lotus root, spinach, celery and lettuce increased by more than 20%.

What is the trend of subsequent vegetable prices?

According to experts, in the next stage, high temperature and rainy weather will prevail in summer, heavy precipitation and strong convective weather will occur frequently, and vegetable management and protection in the field will enter a critical period. Heavy rain, floods and heavy precipitation may cause secondary disasters, which will adversely affect vegetable production and circulation.

Therefore, considering the favorable factors of vegetable production and the uncertainty of weather, the overall price of vegetables in the later period may continue to be higher than last year, but the increase is limited.
