One of them is the variety factor.
There are many varieties of garlic, such as common garlic moss garlic (garlic moss early, garlic small), early garlic, late garlic, etc., the earlier the garlic moss listing time, the higher the price.
The second, sowing time early or late.
Even the same garlic varieties, if the sowing time has early and late, garlic moss maturity market time also has early and late.
If the late sowing ten days or so, garlic moss a few days after the market, may mean less sell several times the price.
The author of the Yu Dong area, the planting of garlic area is not small, small and large households have, to this year's garlic prices, let the author really feel a sentence, that is, "a day a price, and even an hour a price.
The author planted 2 acres of garlic garlic, March 28, is the first time this year, garlic moss, a **** is about 100 pounds, is also the first time this year, garlic moss, pulled to the county next to the door of a wholesale market for vegetables, sold directly to the buyer, the price is 8 yuan / catty, a small pile of garlic moss was sold nearly 800 yuan.
March 30 night continue to pump garlic moss, wait until 6:00 am on March 31 to sell garlic moss, or the same place, garlic moss prices fell to 7 yuan / catty, however, 7 yuan a catty price is not low, this time the garlic moss is relatively more, about 150 pounds, sold more than 1,000 yuan.
By the time the garlic moss was sold on April 2, the price had dropped to 4.5 yuan/catty, compared to the price of 7-8 yuan/catty a few days ago, a larger drop.
But these garlic moss relatively more, about 200 pounds, sold more than 900 yuan.
Waiting until April 5, the Qingming Festival, due to the large area of garlic moss on the market, the price has dropped to 2 yuan / catty.
At this time the garlic moss of early garlic has been listed one after another, garlic moss garlic moss basically also close to the end.
From 8 yuan / catty to 2 yuan / catty, also just a little more than a week.
Garlic moss price drop why so fast? I also asked the buyers, they gave the answer to 2 points.
One, the garlic is about lapses, when the market is more scarce, the supermarket price is also expensive, and they must also increase the purchase price, so as to receive more garlic, earn more difference.
If they can't receive the garlic moss themselves, even if the supermarkets are more expensive, they can't make any money.
And with the large area of garlic moss on the market, the market supply is sufficient, the price will naturally come down.
The second, and sealing control also has a certain relationship.
In March, our side of the sealing control is not very strict, but also normal up and down the highway, the acquisition of garlic can be transported out, sold to other places.
But in April, around the time of the Qingming Festival, the sealing control began to escalate, and getting on and off the highway has been more troublesome.
On the one hand, foreign buyers can not come in, on the other hand, the local buyers can not go out, coupled with not allowed to gather buy and sell, resulting in a decrease in the buyers of garlic moss, lower prices.
And the local buyers, but also can only be sold to the local supermarkets, the sales volume is limited, so it also reduces the amount of acquisition.
Multiple factors, in just one week's time, the price of garlic moss from 8 yuan / catty, down to 2 yuan / catty, down 75%.
According to the buyer, a similar situation would have occurred in previous years, however, it will not fall so fast as this year.
I also inquired about the price of garlic moss in other places, from time to time, the trend is the same, garlic moss just started to market, the price of 7-8 yuan / catty, and even some areas reached 10 yuan / catty.
Subsequently, the price continued to fall, some areas fell large, some areas fell small, mainly depends on the local garlic moss large area listed time.
Kaifeng Qixian is one of the main producing areas of garlic, our village has a local charter to plant garlic friends, the local garlic moss prices basically show a similar situation, the rate of decline also reached about 70%.
However, the duration is relatively longer.
It is reported that the local mid-March, the price of garlic moss can be sold to 7 yuan / catty, to the first half of April, the price of garlic moss has been reduced to 2.5 yuan / catty or so, or even, some farmers less than 2 yuan / catty sold because, garlic moss can not be long time storage at room temperature.
Time came to the end of April, the author of the Yuandong region, garlic moss prices have fallen to less than 1 yuan / catty, many farmers 80 cents a catty to sell.
At this time, regardless of which varieties of garlic, garlic moss has been to the harvest period, the market supply of garlic moss is very sufficient, the price is less than 1 yuan / catty, but also in line with the laws of the market, in previous years basically a similar situation.
From the above, we can see that garlic moss as a seasonal vegetable, the price change is particularly large, the end of March can be sold to 7-8 yuan / catty, the end of April can only be sold to 80 cents a catty.
For farmers who grow garlic, if you want to sell high-priced garlic moss, the choice of varieties as well as sowing time to catch the right.
What do you think about the garlic moss for a short period of time to reduce the price significantly?
