First, the reasons for the low prices of Chinese cabbage and radish:
According to the survey, the main reason why the prices of Chinese cabbage and radish are extremely low is that the supply exceeds the demand. First, the planting area has increased significantly. Last year, the price of Chinese cabbage was high, and this year, all localities blindly expanded the planting area of Chinese cabbage; Second, the output has increased by 40% to 50%. Last year, several heavy fogs caused Chinese cabbage and radish to suffer and reduce production. This year, the rain is better, there are fewer pests and diseases, and the output per unit area is greatly improved. The supply far exceeds the market demand, so the price keeps falling.
The abundant supply of all kinds of vegetables is also one of the reasons for the lower prices of cabbage and radish. The weather is good this year, the output of various vegetables has increased significantly compared with last year, and the price of vegetables has dropped by more than 30% compared with the same period last year. For example, the retail price of cucumbers in previous years is now 2 yuan per catty, which is only about 1 yuan this year; The retail price of green peppers in previous years was only 1.2 yuan per catty in 2 yuan.
Affected by the financial crisis, the export volume of vegetable processing in Qingdao, Weifang and other places has decreased, and cabbage can only be diverted to local sales, resulting in oversupply in the market.
In addition, poor sales are also one of the reasons for the low prices of Chinese cabbage and radish.
Second, the output has increased, but the income has been greatly reduced.
From June 5438 to last year 10, the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage was about 0.35 yuan per catty, the retail price was about 0.5 yuan, the wholesale price of radish was about 0.4 yuan, and the retail price reached 0.6 yuan. At present, the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage is only 0.08 yuan, the retail price is only 0. 15 yuan, and the wholesale price of radish is only 0.03 yuan and the retail price is 0.06 yuan.
The management cost of Chinese cabbage and radish planting is high, and the purchase price of less than a dime makes vegetable farmers miserable. The average yield of Chinese cabbage is 6000 Jin per mu, and the gross income per mu is less than 1000 yuan. After deducting the cost, there is basically no money to earn, and losses abound.
Third, actively respond and reduce losses.
Relevant departments should actively and regularly track, count, analyze and regularly publish all kinds of agricultural products information, and publish them through television, radio, internet, newspapers and other media as much as possible to give farmers direct guidance.
On the other hand, the export of Chinese cabbage and radish is organized through vegetable industry associations.
At the same time, use the cold storage resources of the city to purchase and store Chinese cabbage, radish and green onion in time to minimize the harm caused by cheap vegetables to vegetable farmers.
