In addition, from the recent price chart of Beijing Xinfadi market, after entering October, vegetable prices showed a continuous upward trend, including spinach and other leafy greens rose rapidly.

"Purchase price went up, but the sales price can not go up, otherwise it can not be sold." In Xinfadi wholesale market of agricultural products, came to purchase spinach caterer Mr. Zhang said that the cost of food prices mainly rely on internal digestion, keep prices relatively stable in order to retain customers.

Wholesalers can not collect the goods growers earnings more than the same as in previous years

Not only consumers ' "basket" carry heavy, for many vegetable wholesalers, from their collection of vegetables in the ground, the price of vegetables has risen.

In the new wholesale market of agricultural products, with 7 years of experience in vegetable wholesaling, Mr. Xu frankly, "compared with the usual purchase price of more than 2 yuan a catty, now spinach purchase price rose to 6 yuan a catty, has never seen."

Starting from the week of September 19, with China's vegetable price barometer called Shouguang Vegetable Price Index weekly index has risen for four weeks, including leafy vegetables and eggplant and fruit vegetables rose more.

"Spinach production is limited, even if the purchase price is raised, but also can not collect much." Mr. Xu said, usually 2 days to collect a car, now at least 3 to 4 days.

Wang Chun is Shouguang Agricultural Products Logistics Park first-class wholesalers. He said, high-quality spinach purchase price of 5 yuan to 8.5 yuan a catty, the same period last year, the purchase price of 2 yuan a catty, even if it doubled a few times, wholesalers are also in the rush to buy, "the supply is too small, how much can be grabbed on how much to collect".

The reporter learned that the impact of continuous rainfall, most of the growers of vegetable production is not as good as in previous years, but the price of vegetables is higher, in general, the earnings are the same as in previous years.

"In previous years, 5 acres of land up to now can be out of 40,000 to 50,000 pounds of cucumbers, this year by the rainy weather, only out of the 20,000 pounds of cucumbers, but sold at more than double the price, the overall gains and last year's flat." Shouguang cucumber grower Zhao Yuqian said.

Seasonal, rain and other multiple factors lead to rising prices

Industry analysis, is currently in the "green" time, summer vegetables listed on the basic end of the fall and winter vegetables a small number of listed, coupled with this year's fast cooling, rain, the main producing areas Vegetable growth is slow, part of the vegetables were flooded by the rain after the reduction in production, the market supply is reduced, resulting in a significant increase in vegetable prices.

Shouguang Agricultural Products Logistics Park vegetable price analyst He Xiaojie said that with the weather getting cooler and cooler, the northern producing areas of vegetables steadily retired from the market, tomatoes, organic cauliflower and other vegetables in tight supply, prompting prices to rise.

"By the northern vegetable-producing areas since mid- to late September continuous rainfall, vegetable productivity has not yet recovered, some places because of rain-soaked vegetables appeared rotten roots, rotten heart damage, the yield dropped significantly." He Xiaojie said.

Beijing Xinfadi market statistics department in charge of Liu Tong analysis, the Beijing market spinach, for example, by the continuous rainfall, the impact of Shandong Liaocheng open-ground production of spinach was soaked, can not be arranged in a timely manner to replenish farmers, can only rely on the follow-up greenhouse production to ensure the supply, but greenhouse production of spinach will take a period of time to market. At present, only a small amount of greenhouse spinach can be listed in Liaoning and other places, the supply is greatly reduced, resulting in high prices.

In addition, this year, seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and other prices, pulling up the cost of vegetable cultivation; oil prices continue to rise, in September, gasoline and diesel prices rose 23.4%, 25.7%, driven by the increase in transportation costs, etc., but also contribute to the rise in vegetable prices.

Vegetable prices are easy to rise and hard to fall or help push the October CPI rise

From the vegetable supply fundamentals, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development statistics, the national field vegetable area of about 100 million acres, flat year-on-year slight increase, to maintain the balance of supply and demand has a better support.

"Subsequent to the recovery of vegetable production, some of the delayed listing of vegetables concentrated in the market, the price of some varieties may also fall, but continuous rainfall has affected some places in the fall and winter stubble vegetable planting, there may be stubble articulation is not smooth and so on, it is expected that the overall price of winter vegetables is high." Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Information, associate researcher Zhang Jing said.

He Xiaojie analysis, the current vegetable market demand is strong, such as the northern customers actively into the field, as well as the National Day after the school started, the unit started, the canteen demand enhanced. In addition, Shanxi and other places affected by heavy rainfall, vegetable self-supply capacity is insufficient, buyers demand enlargement, go fast, the short term price is easy to rise hard to fall.

Many vegetable wholesalers predict that with the weather clearing, vegetable transportation back to normal, vegetable prices will fall, but still higher than normal prices in previous years.

It is worth noting that since October, vegetable prices have climbed rapidly, or will drive the national consumer price index (CPI) food data back up. Maintaining stable supply and demand in the consumer market, price stability, facing certain pressures.

In order to increase the supply of vegetables to the Beijing market, stabilizing vegetable prices, the Beijing Xinfadi market organization of the country's 3 million acres of its own planting bases and merchants to increase the deployment of vegetables into the Beijing, the development of new sources of supply.

Tang Ke, director of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs market and information technology, said that the next step will be in conjunction with the relevant departments to implement the transportation of fresh and live agricultural products, "green channel" policy, and smooth materials to the countryside into the village and agricultural products out of the village and into the city channel; to strengthen the monitoring and early warning of the market information, the timely release of prices and supply and demand information; the implementation of the "food basket". "food basket" mayor responsible system, grasp the fall vegetable production, and effectively guarantee the "food basket" product production and supply.

Vegetable prices continue to rise for 2

Vegetable prices have risen more recently, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs monitoring data on October 22, the key monitoring of the average price of 28 kinds of vegetables 5.68 yuan / kg, up 2.7% over the previous day, which rose a large increase in cabbage, peppers, bean curd rose 9.6%, 6.1%, 5.3%, respectively. CCTV reported that broccoli 8 yuan / catty, spinach 15 yuan / catty, Phil cauliflower as high as 18 yuan a catty, more expensive than the price of meat.

Beijing, a supermarket vegetable prices have also risen, some varieties even doubled, cucumber 7.9 yuan / catty, oil wheat cabbage 9.5 yuan / catty ......

In the face of the current price of vegetables, many residents in the supermarket to look around, is to buy not to get down, or after a circle, you can only buy some potatoes, cabbage, Bean sprouts and other low-priced vegetables with relatively stable prices.

So what is the reason for the sharp rise in vegetable prices? This may be a lot of people want to understand, according to industry analysts, mainly four factors:

First, seasonal factors. It is now the late autumn season, the supply of vegetables into the tight season season, the main source of vegetables mainly specializing in vegetable production of farmers or enterprises, while the northern region of the countryside open-ground cultivation of vegetables has ended the production, the supply has declined.

Second, the weather factor. In recent times, Shandong and some other vegetable-producing areas of heavy precipitation, coupled with significant cooling in the northern region, more rain and snow, the impact on vegetable production, to the fluctuation of vegetable prices.

Thirdly, the factor of rising freight costs. On the one hand, due to the continuous rise in refined oil prices, many of the 95 gasoline more than 8 yuan / liter mark, some areas of zero diesel has exceeded 7 yuan / liter, resulting in an increase in the cost of vegetable transportation. On the other hand, by the recent epidemic in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places, the vegetable transportation also has some impact, resulting in local vegetable prices.

Fourth, the factor of rising production costs. 2021 since the beginning of the year, fertilizer prices rose sharply, diesel, pesticides, etc. also continued to rise, resulting in the cost of vegetable production than in previous years, also pushed up the price of vegetables.
