In the past, ordinary consumers could not afford crayfish, which can be said to be delicious for the rich. But this year is expected to achieve "crayfish freedom", anyone can afford crayfish, and crayfish has become a consumer product of ordinary citizens. Why has the price of crayfish plummeted recently?

First of all, the supply of crayfish exceeds demand. At present, the supply of lobsters in the market is sufficient, and many local farms sell crayfish in large quantities, which leads to a temporary oversupply of lobsters in the market. After all, it is the season when a large number of crayfish are on the market recently, and it is also the time when crayfish are relatively fat, so this market situation has emerged.

Second, the scale of crayfish culture has increased. The culture technology of crayfish is not particularly complicated, and its vitality is also tenacious, which makes the number of crayfish farmers increase. What's more, the price and profit of lobsters were very high in previous years, which led to the explosion of crayfish breeding scale, which led to the current market situation of lobster surplus.

In 2022, the area of crayfish culture has approached 30 million mu, which can be said to be a very large scale of culture, and the output of crayfish is also amazing, which has caused the current market situation that the supply of crayfish exceeds demand, and the price has been plummeting, and it has entered the single-digit price market.

Third, the epidemic has greatly reduced the demand for crayfish. In fact, people who like crayfish are mainly southerners, especially in Shanghai and the Pearl River Delta. Especially in summer, there are many barbecues, and it is often necessary to eat a lobster and drink a bottle of beer.

However, this year, there has been a special phenomenon. There have been serious epidemics in Shanghai and the Pearl River Delta, people have to stay at home, and the logistics is stagnant, which makes it difficult to transport temporary crayfish. The catering industry, canteens, etc. have almost stopped working.

To sum up, the price of crayfish has plummeted a lot, and the price in some places is close to single digits, which is mainly due to the temporary oversupply of the market. In fact, it's not that the quality of crayfish spread through the Internet is poor, but that the epidemic situation leads to the impassability of logistics and the closure of catering industry in some areas, which greatly reduces the demand for crayfish, which is the main reason for the sharp price drop.
