Especially this year, when it was colder earlier in the year and many people thought winter came earlier than fall, some people are feeling even "colder" under the pressure of expensive vegetables.
Because of continuous heavy rainfall in many places this year, vegetables were destroyed on a large scale, which also seriously affected the growth rate and production of seasonal vegetables, which led to a sharp decline in vegetable production and also made it more difficult to pick and dispatch vegetables, leading to the price of vegetables in many places began to rise all the way.
We learned from various vegetable wholesale markets, leafy vegetables prices rose the most, has more than six parents denial rate, let us look away, some cheap places spinach wholesale price reached 8-9 yuan, the supermarket spinach is shrinking, supermarket spinach prices rose to 13-15 yuan / kg, chrysanthemums prices soared to 12 yuan / kg, lettuce rose to 7 yuan, cucumbers rose a lot, up to 6.8 yuan / kg, cabbage rose to 5 yuan / kg, Shanghai green rose to 7 yuan / kg, small rape prices rose to 5 yuan / kg, and even the price of tomatoes and garlic shoots rose to 4.5 yuan per catty.
In fact, the rise is far more than these, no one cares about the onion, now become a fine scallion, cheap time, onions as long as 0.6 yuan a catty, has now soared to more than 5 times, a direct increase of 9 times, the price of pork fell, the price of pork in many places is not more than 10 yuan / catty.
So, hog prices continue to fall, so that farmers want to cry, although consumers hope that the price of hogs can be the lower the better, but there is a certain degree of everything, if the price continues to fall, there is no upward momentum, farmers will reduce the number of farms, and even withdraw from the market, so that the later supply of pork is once again in a difficult situation will be a significant drop, resulting in a new round of pork prices rose sharply for the The entire pork market, as far as possible to maintain price stability is beneficial to both sides.
The main reason for the continued decline in hog prices is that the recovery of hogs has exceeded expectations, and the supply of hogs has returned to the previous normal level, but the consumption of pork has not been so robust, and the previous rapid growth of pork has allowed people to gradually get used to the idea of reducing the demand for pork and switching to other alternative meats, and gradually forming a habit of doing so.
The Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays some time ago will also stimulate pork demand. There is an ample supply of pork on the market, and some industry insiders have called on consumers to increase their purchases of pork, which constitutes the bottom line.
But it is undeniable that the downward trend of pork prices is still not over from the perspective of comprehensive production capacity, sow structure, feed costs and other factors related to pig raising. According to the news released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the national breeding sows and hogs stock has reached the target, so it is clear that the future supply of hogs is still very sufficient.
Under the influence of the dismal market, the wealth of many tycoons of large pig raising enterprises has shrunk, and in the 2021 Forbes Global Rich List, both New Hope and Makinsha have declined in rankings, with Makinsha's Qin Yinglin family's ranking slipping from 44th to 87th, and Liu Yonghao's family's ranking slipping to 338th.
But what I never thought would happen is that the price of onions has gone up again, the good pork and onion dumplings are sold out, even the cabbages that my family planted this year have wilted because of the rains, cabbage, spinach, lettuce and coriander have been planted for so long that in addition to the cold temperatures of the year there is too much dampness and the garlic cloves are yellow.
Some people say, at first because vegetables are cheaper than grains, then vegetables are more expensive than grains, this year vegetables are more expensive than fruits, and some vegetables are more expensive than meat, so it is clear that the value of vegetables has been rising, and it is necessary for vegetables to become a "vegetable wealth" or "vegetable gold "? This year, the main provinces of vegetable production have suffered floods, production has fallen sharply, the vegetable growth cycle is short, the end of autumn and early winter rain is less conducive to the growth of vegetables, vegetable prices will soon fall back.
The other day when I went back home, I heard my family say that this summer is too long, autumn ten days to plant vegetables, but after two waves of seeds did not germinate, they were heated to death, a few days ago the temperature dropped, the vegetables have just germinated, in previous years, this time, the vegetables began to grow for the second time, and they said that this is the reason for the price of vegetables in rural areas.
It seems that if people have to live in high rise, so does their food. They are planted layer by layer to save land area. Personally, I think the main reason for the price increase of vegetables is caused by the extreme weather, as long as the weather returns to normal during the Chinese New Year in the next few days, the price of vegetables not only won't go up, but will also go down because some vegetables have a very short turnaround time, such as baby bok choy.
Summary: affected by natural disasters, a number of vegetable greenhouses were destroyed, a number of vegetable greenhouses were flooded, many farmers from the ground "grab" vegetables, vegetable prices are naturally "rising", vegetable farmers are miserable, indescribable. According to information, this year's vegetable planting area is not less than in previous years, the main reason for the rise in vegetable prices is the weather.
