I believe that the price of fruit in each city is slightly different. Local fruits are definitely cheap, and fruits shipped from other places are definitely slightly more expensive. As I am in the central city of Hubei, I will take the fruits around me as an example. At present, the banana is 3-5 yuan a catty, the apple 3 yuan keeps rising, and the yellow peach is as high as 10 yuan, which is already the parity fruit in the vegetable market, not to mention the price of the boutique fruit shop.
Recently, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, developed a package of 15 cherries named "Juno's Heart", which sold for 600,000 yen in the auction. This box of cherries is real, and it must be out of reach for us ordinary people. Even with so much money, I am reluctant to buy it. Compared with this, the fruit I eat is quite cheap.
As the saying goes, things are rare.
As far as Japan is concerned, the land area is small, and the most important thing for rational use of land is output. In the case of low yield, it is certain that the quality must be first-class to play an important role in the land, so they invested manpower and material resources to grow high-quality fruits together with the original excellent varieties.
In recent years, in addition to high-priced litchi, there are many high-priced fruits, most of which are also due to factors such as small yield and good quality. But to be honest, compared with ordinary fruits, the gap is not much. If you analyze the nutritional components, it is estimated that there are nothing more than fructose, vitamins and trace elements, and the content may be similar.
I don't know if anyone remembers Shizuoka melon, whose short video software was particularly popular two years ago. People call it the Rolls Royce of melon. If you say how delicious it is, it doesn't feel like it, but it tastes like money. When you go to a Japanese food store, you can't order dozens of pieces of Shizuoka melon. Not just a whole melon, just a small piece.
To tell the truth, Shizuoka Melon is just a net melon. It is planted in Shanghai, Hainan, Shandong and other places in China. Being crowned with a place name is also drunk. If the sweetness is so bad, maybe gourmets can taste it, but there is no need to eat too much polysaccharide. I planted it myself. I also bought domestic melons online, about ten yuan each. A melon is not big.
In addition to the above fruits, I think many friends have heard of beef. Maybe you haven't eaten it, but you must have heard that the price of beef in a steak house is as high as thousands of dollars, and the raw meat is one or two thousand pounds.
Japanese beef cattle are extremely high in quality, low in saturated fatty acid content in muscle fat, extremely high in nutritional value, high in breeding cost and naturally expensive. In addition, they can only be raised by themselves and cannot be introduced from abroad, so a palm-sized place can't raise much, which is naturally more expensive. Compared with Australian beef cattle and American beef cattle, it is really much worse.
To sum up, the reasons for the high price of fruit are as follows:
The output is low. Excellent varieties. Labor and breeding costs are high. Let's talk about the auction. It is not cheap to buy fruit at ordinary times. Can fruit be auctioned again? According to the truth of the highest bidder, this fruit can only exceed the actual value, and no one can miss it.
So this sky-high fruit is really beyond our consumption range, and it can only be our talk after dinner. In the face of sudden online celebrity products and sky-high-priced products, we should treat them rationally, do what we can, and don't spend impulsively!
