By the impact of cold weather, many vegetable prices are slightly up. As a common seasoning vegetables, onion prices also rose all the way up on the hot search, many people reflect, some supermarkets onion prices are even sold to more than 9 yuan a catty. In fact, more than onions, the market, the price of various types of peppers have also hit new highs, like often buy peppers previously sold more than two a catty, now a catty more than 4 yuan. So what are the reasons why vegetable prices have risen? One to understand it.

Vegetable prices have risen for what reason?

1, the cold wave came

The cold wave brought frost, rain and snow weather for the growth of crops is extremely unfavorable, especially on the production of leafy vegetables, the impact is greater, the reduction of production, leafy vegetables prices naturally went up. At the same time, bad weather also caused the picking of vegetables, road transportation difficulties and other problems. This will increase the cost of vegetables, and therefore also can only protect profits through price increases.

2, the market demand increased

New Year's Day, the Spring Festival and other festivals favorable stimulus, the major supermarkets in order to meet the peak of shopping and consumption, have begun in advance a large number of stock, resulting in a significant increase in the market demand, which in turn contributed to the increase in the price of vegetables.

3, the origin of the transfer

Northern vegetables such as Hebei, Shandong, Henan land vegetable supply due to the plummeting temperatures sharply reduced, relying only on the greenhouse vegetable supply is not enough to meet the market demand. The current market situation, the south of the vegetable began to "fill the gap" in the north of the vacancy, and this means that the freight, labor costs increase, resulting in a general increase in vegetable prices.

When can we return to normal prices?

Take the recent price increases more obvious onions and peppers as an example. First of all, the doubling of the price of onions has a great deal to do with the production of the origin, planting onions more people, onion prices do not sell up, so the planting of onions will be relatively fewer people, so that the overall production of onions has declined. All concerned about the onion market friends, should be more clear, this year's high price of onions continued for a long time, is because of the decline in production of onions, the market supply is not enough to meet demand and lead to. And the current Spring Festival is the peak demand, is expected to onion prices or a boost, high prices onion may be maintained until March-April, when onion prices will have a significant decline.

Chili peppers, the reason for its price increase is also related to the national chili pepper planting area continues to decrease. But with the gradual maturation of chili peppers in some production areas, chili pepper prices will be suppressed. However, it is also believed that the current area of the country's new sowing pepper has been determined, the high price of chili pepper with the listing of the new pepper in the north can be relieved.

Overall, this winter, all kinds of vegetables frequently rise in price, but the overall price of space has been very limited, and a wide range of vegetables, the public can choose from a lot of opportunities to increase the price of buying a little less that is, the impact on life is not great. The provinces and cities are also actively stocking up to ensure that the Spring Festival people's "food basket" supply.
