I believe that everyone is paying attention to the price of vegetables during this time. Cabbage is no longer the price of cabbage. A catty of cabbage costs more than 2 yuan, and peppers are even more outrageous. A kilo costs more than 10 yuan. Many netizens said that they could not afford it. Not only the price of vegetables has gone up, but also the price of eggs. The latest response of the Ministry of Commerce is about the recent rapid increase in the price of eggs and vegetables.

The head of the Consumption Promotion Department of the Ministry of Commerce said that in addition to the seasonality, periodicity and step-by-step brought about by the strong demand for consumption and stocking at the end of the year, it was also affected by abnormal weather. After many winters, cold waves frequently occur, which affects vegetable production in some areas. Finally, the intermediate transport links brought by epidemic prevention control lead to supply and price fluctuations.

In fact, before the Spring Festival every year, the price of vegetables will go up, but even the price of eggs has gone up. At present, all localities and departments are actively taking measures. The relevant person in charge said that at present, the benefits of vegetable planting are good, and the enthusiasm of vegetable farmers is high. Compared with the same period last year, the average weekly vegetable harvest in this country was flat, with a slight increase. The overall supply capacity of vegetables in winter and spring has risen steadily, and the market supply is generally guaranteed.

In many places, cold wave weather occurs frequently after winter, and vegetable production in some areas is affected; According to the experience of last year's epidemic, control measures will lead to insufficient transportation capacity and blocked transportation chain, which will lead to fluctuations in supply and price. In the past week, the price increase of egg vegetables has slowed down.

In view of the large fluctuations in the prices of some vegetables in the market, such as peppers and green onions, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission has previously responded that the overall supply capacity of vegetables in winter and spring has risen steadily, and the market supply is generally guaranteed. It is expected that with the implementation of relevant measures to ensure supply and stabilize prices, the overall upward trend of vegetable prices will be eased, and it is expected to gradually return to the same level throughout the year.

According to reports, the seasonal fluctuation of vegetable prices is obvious. From June 1 1 to the following Spring Festival, vegetable prices are prone to seasonal increase due to the increase in production and harvest costs of overwintering anti-season facilities and holiday consumption. Recently, the price of vegetables has increased greatly, mainly due to the adverse effects of the nationwide cold wave and low temperature weather at the end of last year and the beginning of this year on the production and circulation of vegetables, and the sporadic epidemic situation in some areas recently has affected the transportation and distribution of vegetables to some extent.
