First, the analysis of the reasons for the low price of cabbage and radish:
According to the survey, the main reason for the extremely low prices of Chinese cabbage and radish is that the supply exceeds the demand. First, the planting area has increased greatly. Last year, the price of Chinese cabbage was high, and all localities blindly expanded the planting area of Chinese cabbage this year; Second, the yield increased by 40% to 50%. Last year, several heavy fogs caused Chinese cabbage and radish to suffer and reduce production. This year, the rain is better, the pests and diseases are less, and the yield per unit area is greatly increased. The supply far exceeds the market demand, so the price keeps falling.
The abundant supply of all kinds of vegetables is also one of the reasons for the lower prices of cabbage and radish. This year, the weather is good, the output of all kinds of vegetables has increased significantly compared with last year, and the price of vegetables has dropped by more than 30% compared with the same period last year. For example, the retail price of cucumber in previous years is now 2 yuan per catty, which is only about 1 yuan this year; The retail price of green peppers in previous years was only 1.2 yuan in 2 yuan.
Affected by the financial crisis, the export volume of vegetable processing in Qingdao, Weifang and other places has decreased, and cabbage can only be diverted to local sales, resulting in oversupply in the market.
In addition, poor sales are also one of the reasons for the low prices of Chinese cabbage and radish.
Second, the output has increased, but the income has been greatly reduced.
Last year 10, the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage was around 0.35 yuan per catty, the retail price was around 0.5 yuan, the wholesale price of radish was around 0.4 yuan, and the retail price reached 0.6 yuan. At present, the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage is only 0.08 yuan, the retail price is only 0. 15 yuan, and the wholesale price of radish is only 0.03 yuan and the retail price is 0.06 yuan.
The management cost of Chinese cabbage and radish planting is high, and the purchase price of less than a dime makes vegetable farmers miserable. The average yield of Chinese cabbage is 6000 kg per mu, and the gross income per mu is less than 1000 yuan. After deducting the cost, there is basically no money to earn, and losses abound.
Third, actively respond to reduce losses
Relevant departments should actively and regularly track, count, analyze and regularly publish all kinds of agricultural products information, and publish it through television, radio, internet, newspapers and other media as much as possible, so as to give farmers direct guidance.
On the other hand, the export of Chinese cabbage and radish is organized through the Vegetable Industry Association.
At the same time, the city's cold storage resources will be used to purchase and store Chinese cabbage, radish and green onions in time to minimize the harm caused by cheap vegetables to vegetable farmers.
