Multiple places crayfish price jump is what happened?
It is reported that the opening of May crayfish prices have ushered in the diving, Nanjing, Qianjiang, Hangzhou, Chengdu and other places in the crayfish prices have fallen significantly.
Contrasted with the high price of up to 40 yuan a catty just listed in early April, the average price is now almost directly down to the "chopped" position, and even ready-to-eat crayfish, some e-commerce platforms are also hanging out a lower price.
This is the peak season of consumption of crayfish, and its price is counterintuitive, in fact, there are reasons.
One to the end of the May Day holiday, while superimposed on the impact of the epidemic, crawfish consumer demand has declined, downstream consumption performance is relatively sluggish; two to crawfish intolerant of storage, seasonal consumption characteristics are more prominent, coupled with the current temperature rise in crawfish production gradually increased, many merchants have more inventory, have no choice but to bear the pain of selling at a low price.
