However, now that May Day has just passed, vegetable prices in many places have ushered in an overall decline.
In the producing areas, zucchini, eggplant and ginger are welcoming "waist cutting". What's going on here?
0 1, the price of vegetables fell across the board.
In a farmer's market in Hangzhou, the reporter found that the price of vegetables has been restored to the original price. For example, the original eggplant of 8 yuan/kg has dropped to 4 yuan/kg; Chinese cabbage dropped from 3.5 yuan to 1.5 yuan/kg; Last month, the highest price of tomatoes was 12 yuan a catty, and now it has dropped to 3.5-4 yuan/catty; Broad beans also dropped from 5 yuan to 2.5 yuan/kg, and bamboo shoots dropped from 10/kg to 3.5 yuan.
Because vegetables are cheap, more people buy them. The stall owner Lao Wang said that since the May Day holiday, the price of vegetables has started to fall.
As for why, in fact, because of the hot weather, the vegetable basket was supplied and the wholesale price of vegetables fell across the board.
According to official data, the vegetable production area in China is now 83 million mu, an increase of more than 3 million mu.
With the increase of supply, the price of vegetables in the wholesale market began to fall.
For example, in the wholesale market, the wholesale price of lettuce in 4.8 yuan last month dropped to 0.95 yuan per catty today; The wholesale price of Chinese cabbage is reduced from 3.8 yuan to 1. 16 yuan per catty; The wholesale price of peppers dropped from 8.5 yuan to 4.2 yuan; The wholesale price of eggplant dropped from 14 yuan to 2.8 yuan/Jin.
In addition to Hangzhou, the price of vegetables in Beijing has also dropped significantly.
For example, in a supermarket in Tongzhou, cabbage 1.68 yuan/kg, rape 1.99 yuan/kg, tomato 4.99 yuan/kg, potato 1.99 yuan/kg, eggplant 2.99 yuan/kg, cucumber 1.99 yuan/kg, and wax gourd.
With the decline of vegetable prices, the demand of the end consumer market has also begun to increase.
However, while vegetable prices are falling, many farmers are complaining bitterly. What's going on here?
In 2002, the zucchini market halved.
In the second half of last year, the market of zucchini was very impressive. At that time, the purchase price of the place of origin reached 2.5-3 yuan/kg, so many vegetable farmers made a fortune.
However, now the zucchini in North China are listed one after another, but the price is much worse than last year.
When zucchini was first listed, the purchase price of the place of origin could reach 1 yuan/kg, but I didn't expect that with the warming of the temperature, the growth rate of vegetables accelerated, and zucchini entered the centralized listing period, and the price began to decrease.
It is reported that the origin of zucchini has dropped to 0.25 yuan/kg. Even if the price is so low, there are still not many merchants to buy it.
After all, all kinds of vegetables are on the market one after another, so the price of zucchini, a vegetable, has fallen.
In fact, the market of zucchini as a vegetable has been bad for many years. Except for the second half of last year, it was particularly affected. At other times, it was mostly 5-6 cents a catty, and now it has dropped to 0.25 yuan. Its market is really bad, and farmers don't make money at all.

Last year, the ginger market was very depressed, and the annual land price could be sold to about 3-5 yuan, but when it was harvested last year, it was only 70 cents per catty. Selling at this price, the farmers not only don't make money, but also fall into losses, with an acre of land losing at least 5,000 yuan.
To this end, many ginger farmers have to choose to hoard and plan to wait until next year to sell.
According to the previous market, the price of ginger will gradually rise above 5 yuan from May every year, and then ginger farmers can get a good price.
However, I thought that the ginger market would rise. I didn't expect that the price of ginger not only didn't rise, but fell. The private purchase price dropped to 50 cents a catty, which hit many ginger farmers hard.
In fact, the reason for the decline in the ginger market is that exports are blocked.
A few years ago, China's ginger was exported to many countries, which can greatly alleviate the problem of domestic overcapacity.
However, in the past two years, due to special reasons, exports have been restricted. As a result, the supply of goods in the domestic market is left, and the place of origin cannot sell the price.
At the same time, the retail price of ginger in the market is too expensive, generally sold to 5 yuan/kg, and people's desire to buy is not high. As a result, the market is slow to digest, farmers have more stocks, and ginger can't be sold at a price.
03, eggplant
When eggplant first came into the market this year, the market price reached 10- 15 yuan/kg. However, with the gradual increase of market volume, its retail price has gradually dropped to 3-4 yuan/kg, and even to 2 yuan/kg in some areas.
However, at the same time that eggplant is listed centrally, the prices in some producing areas have collapsed. For example, the price of eggplant in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province is only 0. 15 yuan, and the product price difference is 1 cent per catty.
Because the high temperature in the south can accelerate the growth of eggplant, coupled with high yield, short production cycle and large planting area, the field prices of eggplant have fallen.
A few days ago, the origin price of eggplant can be sold for 5-6 cents a catty, but now it has dropped to 0. 15 yuan a catty, which is unacceptable to eggplant farmers, because there is no profit at this price, and some eggplant farmers can only take it home.
With the increase of temperature, vegetables have ushered in a rich period, when the price of vegetables will fall one after another. what do you think?
