Many people are complaining about the fact that local vegetables are growing so fiercely that vegetables are now more expensive than meat. Now that vegetables are more expensive than meat, it has become a hot topic among people. In fact, there are many reasons for this. , the supply of vegetables is unsaleable, affected by the weather and the epidemic, these are the reasons for the skyrocketing price of vegetables.
1. The supply of vegetables is slow.
Due to rainy weather in most parts of our country, major vegetable producing areas in the north such as Henan, Shandong and Hebei have been affected by heavy rains, and many places have suffered floods. Continuously. Heavy rains flooded the vegetable fields, causing damage to vegetables in many places, resulting in a decrease in production. In addition, cold air has hit since the beginning of autumn, and violent disasters have occurred in some areas. Vegetables have suffered a devastating blow, resulting in reduced production and difficulty in picking. The transportation costs have also increased.
2. Weather effects.
Vegetables and grains are different. Most vegetables are fresh and good. Price fluctuations are also based on the weather. The production and sowing of vegetables are highly susceptible to seasonal factors and weather. After the weather turns cooler in the north, the supply of vegetables is relatively tight, and most of them rely on greenhouse cultivation. Seasonal fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, etc. will be in short supply, so prices will also increase.
3. Impact of the epidemic.
The director of the vegetable factory is also responsible for the epidemic. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the country has implemented a comprehensive lockdown to control the epidemic. Generally, farmers’ markets in the north rely on vegetable supply transported from the south. Due to the epidemic, transportation pipelines and roads are blocked, and transportation costs are high. Increasing supply shortages have led to sharp increases in vegetable prices.
In short, none of us can guarantee whether vegetable prices will continue to rise or fall. We can only see whether the coordination of various regional management departments can maintain smooth transportation of agricultural products. And we should reasonably control the vegetable prices in the vegetable market in the future. I believe that one day we will be able to eat vegetables at normal prices.
