Affected by the cold weather, the prices of vegetables are currently rising slightly. Some time ago, the price of green onions was even on the hot search due to its rising prices, which also prompted many citizens to take corresponding feedback. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs responded to the recent rise in vegetable prices. What is the reason for the rise in vegetable prices?

Affected by extreme weather

The current sudden rise in vegetable prices is directly related to extreme weather, because this year there has been significantly greater rainfall in the northern vegetable producing areas, resulting in autumn Vegetables were heavily damaged. When a large number of vegetables in our country are seriously damaged, it will also lead to vegetable shortages, eventually triggering a sudden rise in vegetable prices. Although there is a slight increase in the growth of vegetables in our country, the country must also carry out corresponding macro-control and stabilize vegetables within a suitable range to ensure the daily life of the people.

Increased market demand

Now that New Year's Day and Spring Festival are coming soon, two favorable holidays will be provided, so major shopping malls will also be stimulated accordingly. Because the purchasing power of these two festivals will also be greatly increased, and people will stock up in large quantities, which will also lead to a significant increase in market demand during this period, thus causing an increase in vegetable prices. In fact, this situation occurs every year, and after the New Year, this situation will gradually subside.

Affected by the epidemic

Although our country has a large land area, only a few major provinces use vegetables as an export industry. This year has been affected by the epidemic, so some cities will make reserves. In this series of circumstances, vegetable production will also be affected. In addition, there are some areas that need to produce vegetables in greenhouses, and there is also a shortage of electricity this year. The production capacity of vegetable bases will naturally be affected accordingly. When the number of vegetables is reduced, prices will naturally be affected. Slightly higher.

From the above three points, we can see that the sudden increase in vegetable prices in our country is mainly caused by these three reasons. However, most of this situation is only temporary. As long as it is alleviated, vegetable prices will slowly pick up.
