As Suzhou a netizen complained, the market spinach is still sold 12 yuan a catty, Chrysanthemum also sold to 10.8 yuan, 7.89 yuan / catty, bitter melon 8.8 yuan / catty, cilantro 15 yuan / catty, cucumber 7.3 yuan / catty. Because of the big rise in food prices, people can only buy more eggs, pork or fish, after all, the egg market 5.8 yuan / catty, chub 8 yuan / catty, pork 13 yuan / catty.
Because of the rise in food prices, some hot pot restaurants have been authorized to bring their own vegetables, mainly because the price is too expensive, hot pot restaurants do not dare to buy too much, but also can not easily increase prices, can only come up with this solution.
The recent rise in food prices, but also a lot of consumers to adjust the way they eat, we are more inclined to meat food, no wonder a lot of people flirted with the "every day to eat braised meat".
To say that the biggest increase in vegetables, no doubt spinach, lettuce, scallions, etc., in the view of many people, the high price of its vegetables, that farmers are bound to make a fortune, really?
01, spinach
In previous years at this time, the spinach market price of about 5 yuan, the price of the ground is only 1.5-2 yuan, the price of consumers and farmers are acceptable. But this year is different, those big cities, spinach retail reached 15-18 yuan a catty, compared to the price of pork is also high.
The retail price of spinach has risen, in fact, also because of high wholesale prices, in the Shanghai central wholesale market, the wholesale price of spinach has risen to 10 yuan a catty. As for why it rose so high, some people said, the ground price has risen to 6-8 yuan, quality spinach is in 9-10 yuan a catty, so the wholesale price will rise so much.
Seeing it this way, vegetable farmers can not make a lot of money? However, vegetable farmers shake their heads, and did not earn more, in September when Shandong, Hebei and other places are basically in the rain, the results of spinach growth slow, and suffered from rain plots are more disease, and rotten roots, rotting leaves, yellow leaves more, spinach production compared to previous years reduced by 6-7%.
In addition to the low yield, the quality of spinach is also not high, which is why the high price of high-quality spinach, mainly too little. As for vegetable farmers, this year's purchase price is high, but the yield is low, everyone's income did not increase much, some vegetable farmers mu income of only 2000 yuan.
02, onions up 70%
Because of last year's onion surge, this year, vegetable farmers around the world have to follow the trend of planting onions, as a result of the increase in production, to the onion in May when the price of onions fell to 2-3 yuan, the price of the ground also slipped to 1 yuan. But this is still not the limit, July-August, with a large number of onions on the market, the ground price fell to 1-2 cents, the market price also fell back to about 80 cents, so the market onion farmers mu loss of about 500 yuan.
But the beginning of September, onion prices began to rise, retail rose to about 2-3 yuan, the origin also rose to 5-7 gross, the price of onion farmers can only just to keep this.
But to one's surprise, from mid-October, onion prices began a wave of rising, from the origin, the ground price has risen to between 2.5-3 yuan, compared to January rose 70%. The retail price of the market, but also rose to 5-6 yuan a catty, many people spit "forward onion" again rushed.
Some people are curious why the price of green onions suddenly rose? In fact, this year, although more onion planting area, can experience losses in the first half of the year, the second half of the planting scale reduction, coupled with onions afraid of flooding, by the September rains, a lot of green onions rotting roots, the listing of the amount of reduction, led to higher prices.
However, for onion farmers, the current onion prices, despite the rise, but in view of the first half of the loss, we can make up for the capital is good. If the market continues to firm up, it will only be profitable.
03, lettuce
Lettuce as one of the most common vegetables in the fall, its price has not been too high, due to high production, in previous years, the price of the origin of only 2-3 cents, the rural bazaar only to sell 8 cents or so, the city retail 1.5-2 yuan. Despite the low price of origin, but because of the high yield, low cost, an acre of land can earn on one or two thousand dollars, we are also very satisfied.
However, by the factors of reduced production, lettuce origin has risen to about 1.5 yuan, compared to previous years rose 5 times as much. But even so, there are a lot of vegetable vendors complain, simply can not receive vegetables, busy 1 day even 100 pounds can not receive.
A vegetable farmer in Henan said that in previous years, after the rice harvest, we will plant lettuce, cabbage, but this year, lettuce, cabbage growth at the beginning of the rain did not stop, the results of its growth is not good, the production is more serious. As a result, despite the rise in the price of land, the production was reduced more, and therefore did not make much money.
Of course, other vegetables have also experienced such encounters, its yield is not too considerable, farmers naturally did not earn much money. As for the middlemen, due to the rise in oil prices this year, the cost increased by 20%, coupled with the high price of the origin, can not collect a lot of vegetables, so the wholesale price rose, they did not make much money.
Vegetable business is even more difficult, vegetable prices high market demand for the purchase of the decline, but the wholesale price has gone up, vegetable business can only be helpless with the rise. But the high price of vegetables to buy not much, but increased losses, some vegetables sold simply do not make money, but in order to meet the needs of all customers, or to stock.
As for when the price of vegetables fall, some industry said that in November, the southern fall vegetables concentrated on the market, when the price of vegetables will come down, but the overall price or still high.
