Farmers can't sell peaches, but city people say they can't afford them? Why is this?

Every year when peaches are ripe, many peach farmers will have a headache for the sales of peaches. One is that the price of peaches is too low, and the other is that peaches are not easy to sell. However, although it is not easy for peach farmers to sell peaches, peaches in city supermarkets are very expensive. For example, a friend of mine in Henan sells peaches at 50 cents in his hometown, while in Guangdong, peaches are sold around 5 yuan.

Think about it, how much can peaches sell if they are shipped from Henan to Guangdong? First, as I said above, 50-cent peaches are pulled by fruit farmers themselves, and the fruits vary in size. People who buy peaches have requirements on the diameter of peaches. Don't buy peaches if they are too small, and the fruit diameter should be consistent. In this way, fruit farmers may sell peaches for 80 cents a catty, and buyers will have some profits, so peaches in 0 yuan may become 65438+ 1 catty.

Second, you need a car to transport peaches from the place of origin to Guangdong. Considering the distance, driving on the road will be bumpy. Be sure to wrap the peaches, otherwise the peaches will collide with each other and damage the skin of the peaches. If the skin of the peach is damaged, others will not buy it.

Packaging naturally requires costs, and a large number of peaches need people to package them. In addition, it is necessary to manually move peaches to the car, which also requires cost. Then, when transporting by car, it is impossible to ensure that peaches will not be broken, that is, some rotten fruits will be produced. Together, the cost of peaches may increase to 1.5 yuan per catty.

Third, the peach has arrived. Jiangnan wholesale market, the first-class wholesale market in Guangzhou, requires an entrance fee to enter the wholesale market. Moreover, when the peaches are unloaded, it is also necessary to pay labor costs. The wholesalers in the south of the Yangtze River are then sold to the second-class wholesalers at the next level, and finally reach the wholesale market in Foshan.

In this way, peaches can be sold for 2 yuan a catty through wholesalers. The more people change hands, the higher these costs will be, and the loss in the middle will increase the price of peaches.

Fourth, the fruit shops in Foshan went to the local wholesale market to purchase goods, and they increased their prices again. Fruit shops need rent, water and electricity, labor and the loss of peaches, so they will attach part of these costs to peaches. In this way, peaches may have to be sold above 3 yuan to make a profit.

These are just some simple links that a peach needs to circulate from producer to consumer. Every time a peach changes hands, the person who handles it will profit from it. Moreover, when transporting peaches, those labor costs and peaches damaged during transportation should be counted.

Sometimes when you transport 1000 Jin of peaches, the water is lost, and some rotten fruits may become 900 Jin of peaches. Of course, this is just a metaphor. In fact, the loss of fruit transportation in the world will be between 10~20%, and the peach skin is easy to scratch. Different people's packaging and the distance of the road will affect the breakage rate of peaches.

To sum up, peach is a kind of fruit that cannot be transported and stored. It will be packed when transported, plus some technical expenses for preservation. Every time peaches are spread from the place of origin to other cities, it will increase the profits of some people, plus the loss and cost of transportation. Peaches with a few hairs of origin will naturally be shipped to other places to sell for a few dollars a kilogram.

Finally, peaches are divided into different varieties, and the price of each variety is different. Peach is usually the lowest, peach is more expensive and flat peach is more expensive. So the prices of different varieties are naturally different.

Buyers like to buy some high-quality peaches with big size, good variety and high price, so the price is naturally higher. Some fruit farmers have poor quality and too much output, so others will not buy them.
