Not only Chinese cabbage, I believe everyone has found that the prices of various vegetables have risen sharply recently, especially in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, and the prices of vegetables are beyond imagination.
It is understood that at present, a catty of local tomatoes 15 yuan, a catty of white radish1yuan, and a catty of doll vegetables 12 yuan. At ordinary times, a few cents a catty of green onions also rose to 12 yuan.
Although the price of vegetables in other areas is slightly better, the price has doubled, such as Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, a catty of tomato 4 yuan, a catty of chrysanthemum 5 yuan, a catty of green pepper 7 yuan and a catty of cucumber 6 yuan.
4 yuan, a catty of tomatoes, 2 yuan, a catty of Chinese cabbage, 5 yuan, a catty of green peppers and 3.5 yuan, and a catty of cucumbers.
5 yuan, a kilo of leek, 1 1 yuan, green onion 7.5 yuan, chrysanthemum 6 yuan, a kilo.
Although the price of the same vegetable is different in different regions, it can be seen that the price of vegetables has increased greatly.
According to statistics from Xinfadi, the market price of vegetables has risen from 2.7 1 yuan/kg in the same period last year to 4.44 yuan/kg now.
What is the logic of the recent surge in vegetable prices?
1, the freight price has risen sharply.
It is reported that from Lingyuan, Liaoning Province to Beijing, including sorting, packaging and transportation costs, it was probably in 0.4 yuan/kg, and now it has arrived in 0.9 yuan/kg.
Affected by the epidemic, many areas have strengthened control, making long-distance transportation by car more difficult, and vegetables have strict timeliness. If it is a little slower, it will taste bad or rot, which will affect the price. If it is unsalable, it will not be sold.
There are many ways for trucks to go back and forth. As long as there is an epidemic in one place on the way, it will lead to an asterisk on the travel itinerary code, which will have a great impact on the subsequent transportation. Therefore, truck drivers are reluctant to go to big cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, which will lead to a shortage of vehicles and rising prices.
In addition, the recent sharp rise in refined oil prices is also the main reason for the increase in freight prices.
Although the price of producing area is decreasing due to the increase of output, the increase of circulation cost exceeds the decrease of field price, which leads to the final increase of vegetable price.
2. Vegetables in the sales area are in short supply.
Although with the temperature rising, all kinds of vegetables are growing well, and the output is also increasing, but because the intermediate circulation link is blocked, the vegetables in the producing area cannot reach the sales area, and the demand for vegetables in the sales area is in short supply, and the price is constantly being speculated.
3. A wave of cooling and precipitation weather in the middle and late March caused the temperature to plummet 15-20℃ overnight, which affected the growth of vegetables to some extent, delayed the listing time of vegetables, reduced the supply of vegetables and increased the price.
4, dealers earn the difference, vegetables from the place of origin to the hands of consumers, there are many vegetable dealers in the middle. Every dealer has a loss and a profit, and the price increase at different levels leads to an increase in vegetable prices.
Will vegetable prices rise in April?
To be sure, with the increase of temperature, the output of all kinds of vegetables will increase greatly, which will provide a solid backing for the price reduction of vegetables.
However, considering that the main reason for the increase in vegetable prices is not the decline in output, but the transportation link is blocked and it is difficult to improve in a short time.
According to experts' analysis, the domestic epidemic situation is still on the rise and has not yet reached the turning point of decline, which means that road transportation is difficult to improve in April, oil prices are at a high level, and freight rates are difficult to reduce.
It is expected that with the increase of output, the price of vegetables in April will be lower than that in March. Some media reported that the prices of cucumber, eggplant, lentils, cowpea and zucchini all fell, with cowpea falling the most, followed by round eggplant and cucumber.
However, compared with the same period of last year, due to the higher transportation price, the vegetable price in April will remain at a high level.
