Okra was introduced to China from India at the beginning of this century. Because of its fame abroad and the propaganda of some merchants, it became popular when it was first introduced to China and became a favorite vegetable for many men. With the popularity of okra in China, its price is increasing year by year. Around 20 10, the price of okra is not very high. At that time, it was about 8 yuan and 7 kg/kg. Many farmers saw the price of okra and thought it was very promising, so they began to plant it one after another. In rural areas of Hubei, Hunan, Fujian and Guangdong, many farmers began to plant in large quantities.
I don't know what it's like there. At that time, almost half of the people in the village began to plant okra, and even a few okra plants were occasionally seen on the roadside. I believe that friends who have planted okra should know that okra is actually a high-yield vegetable, which can be picked every few days during the summer fruit-producing period, which also makes the local okra yield increase rapidly. The increase in output also makes the purchase price of okra decrease rapidly, even if the output is large, it will not make much money.
However, this is not the reason why farmers are unwilling to grow okra. In fact, another reason is that okra is not very popular in our local area. Speaking of okra, it is nutritious, but it is not so delicious. And there will be a lot of sticky juice when frying okra, which may be a problem of our eating habits. Many people don't like it. Therefore, although the output of okra is large, there are fewer people to eat, and the supply exceeds the demand. So at that time, many farmers could not sell the okra, and no one wanted it. All rot in the ground, which makes many farmers here reluctant to plant okra.
