I think the biggest reason for the slow sales of crabs this year is due to rising prices, economic downturn, and the declining purchasing power of the people. The rise in pork prices this year has driven up the prices of eggs and other meat products, and people's consumer spending has continued to rise. Under normal circumstances, not many ordinary people can afford to eat crabs. In addition, this year's rise in prices has suppressed people's consumption. For other consumption, it is normal for crabs to be unsalable.

The real economy has not been doing well in the past two years. Excessively high housing prices are like a mountain pressing on many people's heads, kidnapping people's lives. High-priced foods like crabs require people with a certain economic foundation to buy them. Our country is a large country with a rural population of more than one billion. How many families in rural areas and ordinary towns can freely consume high-priced foods like crabs.

With the economy in recession, it is difficult to make any kind of money and life is stressful. Even in cities, the largest class is still the ordinary working class. Many people have limited income, and a salary of several thousand yuan can only maintain the most basic life. Life needs, life in the city is not just as simple as food and clothing, expenses such as medical care, education, housing loans, and car loans are very large. Therefore, high-priced foods like crabs are not within the reach of every urban poor person who wants to consume them.

Ordinary families only eat crabs occasionally as a souvenir. Prices have risen, and the money they have is becoming less and less easy to spend. There is no spare money to eat crabs. Perhaps this is the biggest factor in the slow sales of crabs.

Hairy crabs are no longer simply purchased in the store, but have become convenient and portable crab tickets that can be collected at the store at any time. The price is basically 20 yuan or more for a four-pack box, with the lowest price being 118 yuan. There are high-end ones paired with red wine, and there are also so-called crab dishes that cost several thousand. Various specialty stores also made "a lot of money."

So why did it suddenly become unsaleable?
