This year, due to the rapid temperature rise, the time to market for crayfish is more than 20 days earlier than in previous years.
Affected by the market quantity, the price has been on the high side, and the market price of crayfish of 4-6 RMB is around 50 yuan.
However, in recent days, the topic of price diving of Nanjing crayfish has rushed to the hot search again, and the market price of 4-6 yuan crayfish has dropped by 60%.
On April 6/kloc-0, the reporter learned in a wholesale market in Nanjing that the price of crayfish has plummeted recently, and the price of 4-6 yuan is 17 yuan to 18 yuan; The price of crayfish for 6-8 yuan ranges from 30 yuan to 35 yuan; The price of crayfish above 9 yuan ranges from 45 yuan to 50 yuan.
Compared with the price a few days ago, it has dropped by as much as 60%.
Some friends who like crayfish can have a big meal.
Once upon a time, I wanted to eat crayfish. Seeing such a high price, I felt my pocket, so I had to flinch and forget it.
Now crayfish is so cheap, you can eat a full meal for tens of dollars, and ordinary consumers can afford crayfish, and the price is very close to the people.
So what is the reason why the price of crayfish has dropped so much?
1. Crayfish has entered a mature stage, and the market supply is sufficient.
According to the seasonal temperature, crayfish have reached maturity recently, and a large number of crayfish flock to the market.
According to industry insiders, the number of crayfish this month is four times that of last month, and the supply is very abundant.
In the past, there were only a few crayfish sellers in the market, and there were not many goods. Now crayfish are sold everywhere in the market, and the supply is very large.
The so-called "things are rare", which used to be sold less and the price was naturally high. Now that the market is saturated, prices will naturally fall.
Everyone must understand this truth, so it is best to quit the "addiction" of crayfish under the current saturated market.
According to industry insiders, such a low price can be maintained for some time when the market supply is sufficient.
2. Retail is restricted, and some crayfish are unsalable.
At present, the influence of mask incidents still exists in various places, especially in some high-risk areas, and many farmers' markets and wholesale markets are restricted.
Vehicles and individuals are restricted from entering the market for trading, retail and sporadic purchases to varying degrees.
All regions are affected, many businesses cannot sell, and many consumers' business expenses enter the market for consumption.
In addition, during this period, in areas with strict control, many consumers were not interested in crayfish and had no desire to buy it.
This has led to the phenomenon that crayfish are unsalable in some markets.
This is also one of the reasons why the price of crayfish has plummeted.
In the final analysis, it is because of the mask incident that it is difficult to buy and sell.
3, crayfish unsalable, merchants "involution"
In the context of the mask incident, crayfish buying and selling middlemen, wholesalers, catering industry, etc. Has been seriously affected.
The fresh crayfish retail market is cold, and the products are unsalable.
As we all know, the shelf life of crayfish is not long. In order to reduce the impact of the mask incident, businesses must dispose of these crayfish as soon as possible.
Therefore, we can see that some merchants are beginning to "roll in", and many restaurants are hung with slogans such as "crayfish 100 Yuan 4 Jin" and "50 yuan buys 2 Jin crayfish".
The purpose is to attract consumers to buy and clean up the inventory as soon as possible, which is conducive to withdrawing funds.
Because of the mask incident, many friends no longer go out to buy live shrimp by themselves, but order takeout directly, so that the store can deliver the prepared crayfish directly to the door.
Therefore, the advertisement of "100 Yuan 5 kg" and "80 yuan 3 kg" is very eye-catching, which is more conducive to consumers' purchase.
Take a closer look at the current price of crayfish, which is really acceptable to ordinary consumers.
Zhang Dage, a citizen, said that the same vendor, Tomb-Sweeping Day's former crayfish, sold 65 yuan a kilo, but only sold 15 yuan a kilo in a few days. I quickly bought 4 Jin to make crayfish for my wife.
It is not difficult to see from the feedback from the public that the price of crayfish this time is indeed a "jumping price".
Next, as the temperature rises, the price of crayfish will continue to fall under normal circumstances.
By mid-May, a large number of crayfish will be on the market. By then, the price of crayfish is likely to fall below 10 yuan per catty, which will last for about half a month until June.
May happens to be long summer. At that time, friends who like crayfish can eat as much as they like.
