The specific situation behind the recent increase in vegetable prices, since the end of the National Day holiday, vegetable prices have risen and then rose, whether local or foreign, and some even doubled. The specific situation behind the recent vegetable price increase.

Vegetables are more expensive than meat The specific situation behind the recent increase in vegetable prices is 1 "Many dishes are more expensive than meat", which is the feeling of many citizens going to the vegetable market to buy food after the National Day.

The reporter recently visited vegetable producing areas, wholesale markets, supermarkets and other places and found that the "value" of vegetables such as spinach and cucumber has risen due to multiple influences such as floods and seasonal factors, and the price of vegetables will continue to rise in the future.

According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the prices of vegetables such as cucumber, spinach, white radish and Chinese cabbage all increased during the week from June 8, 65438 to June 5, 2008. Among them, the prices of cucumber and spinach increased by 28.2% and 2 1.3% respectively, up by 87.7% and 42.0% respectively.

Wholesalers can't receive the goods, and the income of growers in Otawa is flat in previous years.

Not only is the consumer's "vegetable basket" heavy, but for many vegetable wholesalers, the price of vegetables has gone up since they collected vegetables in the field.

In the wholesale market of agricultural products in Xinfadi, Mr. Xu, who has 7 years of experience in vegetable wholesale, said frankly, "Compared with the usual purchase price of one kilogram in 2 yuan, the purchase price of spinach has now risen to one kilogram in 6 yuan, which is unprecedented."

From the week of September 19, Shouguang Vegetable Price Index, known as the barometer of vegetable prices in China, rose for four consecutive weeks, among which leafy vegetables and solanaceous vegetables rose greatly.

"Spinach production is limited, even if the purchase price is raised, it will not be much." Mr. Xu said that it usually takes two days to collect a car, but now it takes at least three to four days.

Wang Chun is a first-class wholesaler of Shouguang Agricultural Products Logistics Park. He said that the purchase price of high-quality spinach ranged from 5 yuan to 8.5 yuan, while the purchase price in the same period last year was one catty in 2 yuan. Even if it has been multiplied several times, wholesalers are snapping it up. "The supply is too small, take as much as you can."

The reporter learned that due to continuous rainfall, the vegetable output of most growers is not as good as in previous years, but the vegetable price is higher. Generally speaking, the income is the same as in previous years.

"In previous years, 5 mu of land could produce 40,000 to 50,000 Jin of cucumbers. This year, due to the rainy weather, 20,000 kilograms of cucumbers were produced, but the price more than doubled, and the overall income was the same as last year. " Zhao, a cucumber grower in Shouguang, said.

Seasonality, rain and other multiple factors lead to the increase in vegetable prices.

According to industry analysts, at present, the listing of vegetables in summer is basically over, and a small number of vegetables are listed in autumn and winter. Coupled with the rapid cooling and abundant rain this year, the growth of vegetables in the main producing areas is slow, and the production of vegetables in some areas has been reduced after being flooded by rain, resulting in a significant increase in vegetable prices.

He Xiaojie, a vegetable price analyst at Shouguang Agricultural Products Logistics Park, said that as the weather turned cold, vegetables in the northern producing areas were steadily delisted, and the supply of tomatoes, organic cauliflower and other vegetables was tight, prompting prices to rise.

"Due to the continuous rainfall in the northern vegetable producing areas since the middle and late September, vegetable productivity has not recovered. In some places, vegetables have rotted roots and rotten hearts due to being soaked in rain, and the output has dropped significantly. " He Xiaojie said.

Liu Tong, head of the statistics department of Beijing Xinfadi Market, analyzed that taking the spinach in Beijing market as an example, due to continuous rainfall, the spinach produced in Liaocheng, Shandong Province was soaked, and farmers could not be arranged to replant in time, so the supply could only be guaranteed by subsequent greenhouse production. However, it will take some time for spinach produced in greenhouses to go on the market. At present, only a small amount of spinach in greenhouses in Liaoning and other places can be listed, and the supply is greatly reduced, resulting in high vegetable prices.

In addition, since the beginning of this year, the prices of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides have risen, pushing up the cost of vegetable planting; Oil prices continue to rise. In September, the prices of gasoline and diesel increased by 23.4% and 25.7% respectively, which led to the increase of transportation costs and pushed up the price of vegetables.

Vegetables are more expensive than meat The specific situation behind the recent vegetable price increase II. The weather turned cold, and affected by continuous rainfall, vegetable prices in the market recently rose to varying degrees. Many neighborhoods call it that. Food is more expensive than meat.

In the vegetable area of an agricultural batch market in Jiangbei, many consumers reported that it was really a bit painful to buy food recently.

Ms. Wen: The overall feeling is that food is more expensive than meat, and meat is affordable. If you eat vegetables, you can't afford them.

Mr. Qu, the person in charge of the canteen of a factory in Huizhou: It's much more expensive recently. The same dish used to cost about 3,000 yuan a day, but now it costs 3,500 yuan, an increase of 10% or 20%.

Merchants said that since the end of the National Day holiday, the price of vegetables has risen and then rose. Both local and foreign vegetables have risen sharply, and some even doubled, resulting in a relative decrease in customer purchases.

Mr. Luo, the vegetable merchant: Now customers report that the price is basically high. In the past, white radishes were all a few cents, but now white radishes are wholesale for more than two pieces, and it is normal for cucumbers to be more than one piece. Now they are wholesale for more than five pieces.

Why do vegetable prices fluctuate so much? Market staff analysis, on the one hand, affected by typhoons and rainfall, some vegetable bases were flooded and the output was limited; On the other hand, continuous rainfall leads to an increase in transportation costs, which in turn leads to a sharp increase in vegetable prices.

Huang Jiebin, Minister of Vegetable and Fisheries Trade of Huizhou Haijixing: Most of them have increased by about 20%, and some even increased by 30%. Because the weather is good before the festival, for example, it is affected by typhoon compasses, and it is also very cold and snowy in the north, so the output of this vegetable is relatively small, which leads to its price increase.

The market staff said that the market price of fruits and vegetables changed normally with the weather. It is estimated that next, growers will speed up the planting of autumn and winter vegetables, and the price will also fall back.

Huang Jiebin, Minister of Vegetable and Fisheries Trade of Huizhou Haijixing: It is estimated that vegetables will take about one week to ten days, and the price should be slowly adjusted back in about ten days.
