Compared with other parts of China, the consumption in Northeast China, especially in Heilongjiang Province, is really low. As the capital of Heilongjiang Province, Harbin's price level is relatively low. The reason why the price of the morning market is "outrageous" is that most of the goods in the morning market are planted or raised by local residents themselves, and the price is relatively low, with few intermediate links. However, this does not mean that the prices of all commodities are low.
In Harbin, the prices of high-end restaurants, hotels and other consumer items are not low. In addition, with the development of the city and the improvement of people's living standards, the prices in Harbin are also rising gradually. The price of Harbin morning market is relatively cheap, because most of the goods in the morning market are planted or bred by local residents themselves, and there are not many intermediate links, so the price is relatively low. But the prices of some consumer items are not low, such as some high-end restaurants and hotels.
Reasons for low consumption in Northeast China:
1, geographical advantage
Northeast China, located in the northeast of China, has a unique geographical advantage. Here is a vast land with a sparse population and rich natural resources, which provides a rich supply of goods for the morning market. Because the local agriculture is developed, many vegetables and fruits are very cheap, and the local area is rich in various special foods, such as northeast rice, black fungus, mushrooms, etc., so the prices here are relatively low.
2. Seasonal price fluctuation is small.
Due to the cold climate in Northeast China, crops have a long growth cycle and are harvested once a year. Farmers in another area grow similar things, and the time to market for agricultural products is relatively concentrated. A large number of listings make the seasonal price fluctuation of a product smaller. In addition, the low purchase price of agricultural products means that merchants can set prices reasonably according to the output and market conditions of the year, making the prices more close to the people.
