The news that the price of cherries has dropped significantly has become a hot topic recently. When it comes to cherries in previous years, everyone’s first impression is that they are expensive. 60 yuan per pound is common, and it can be reached in many areas. 70-80 yuan. However, the price of cherries this year has dropped sharply, to 30-40 yuan per catty. The price has been cut in half. In some areas, it only sells for 20 yuan per catty, a drop of 3-4 times, and it is still unsaleable. Some netizens joked that "I can finally taste the taste of cherries."
Cherries look like cherries, but they are somewhat different from cherries. In some places, they are called "Hantao" and "Jingtao". Cherries are grown both domestically and abroad. Domestic planting areas Widely, mostly in the Yangtze River Basin, and mainly concentrated in three countries abroad, namely Chile, New Zealand and Australia. When you go to the market to buy cherries, you will often see the existence of Chilean cherries. It is understood that cars produced in Chile Most of them are sold to my country.
1. Scarcity
The maturity time of cherries is greatly affected by variety and region. The maturity time of domestic cherries is quite different from that of foreign countries. The ripening time of cherries in China is generally between May and June, while the ripening time of Chilean cherries is generally from December to January of the next year. As mentioned above, most of Chilean cherries are sold to our country. , their ripening time coincides with my country's winter, when there are relatively few types of fruits on the domestic market. When the types of fruits in the market are relatively scarce, the higher price of cherries is in line with market rules.
2. High cost
Cherry is different from other fruits. It is one of the fruits that cannot withstand storage. If accidentally bumped, the chance of rotting and deteriorating will increase. Greatly increased. In addition, after the cherries are picked, a series of measures are needed to ensure their moisture content. On the one hand, they ensure the taste, and on the other hand, they can be sold at a good price. This process will increase a certain cost, unlike apples. , like oranges. In addition, there is another important point. The transportation cost is also high, especially when transporting from abroad, the cost will further increase. Therefore, when the cost increases, the selling price will also increase.
3. Hype
The price of cherries in previous years was so high, we do not rule out the possibility of speculation. As for whether it is a merchant or a trader, it is unknown, but the higher the price, the better for them Generally speaking, the higher the profit obtained, the purchase price from the growers may not be high. Although the market price is high, the profits of the growers are limited.
The rise or fall of commodity prices in the market is mainly caused by the imbalance between supply and demand. For example, if the supply of a commodity on the market exceeds demand, the price will fall. On the contrary, when the supply exceeds demand, the price will fall. When supply exceeds demand, prices will rise. The extent of the rise or fall depends on the specific degree of the imbalance between supply and demand.
The reason why the price of cherries has dropped 2-3 times this year is also affected by supply and demand factors. It is understood that the production of intellectual cherries has gradually increased in recent years, and this year’s production has increased again Around 30%, sufficient supply but lack of rising demand is the main reason for the "plummet" in cherry prices this year.
In addition, there is also a saying that many Chinese people now have a different view of cherries. They no longer regard it as a high-end fruit as before. After many years, everyone gradually has a clear understanding of cherries. If they are expensive, you can eat other fruits instead of eating them. As a merchant, if the quality of cherries is not sold for a long time, the quality will decline or become rotten, so you can only sell them at low prices.
In addition to the sharp decline in the price of cherries recently, the prices of longan and jackfruit on the market have also dropped significantly. The reason is similar to that of cherries, which is basically caused by excessive production.
As mentioned above, cherries are mostly planted in the Yangtze River Basin of my country. A friend asked that the price of cherries is low now. After one or two years, the price will definitely rise, so they can be planted in large quantities. ?
In response to this issue, the personal opinion of the little helper is that if you do not understand the technology, have no market, and have not inspected it in the early stage, it is not recommended to plant. If you want to plant, it is not recommended to plant in large quantities. Try planting in a small area in the early stage. It is better to try. When the follow-up price is still unclear, blind investment will basically lead to failure. Therefore, friends who want to plant a large number of cherries need to be particularly cautious, especially when prices have plummeted recently.
Finally, one last word about consuming cherries, don’t eat too much. Cherries contain a lot of iron. If you eat too much, it may have a certain impact on your health.
