The market mainly sells two kinds of cherries, Rubins and Santina. The smallest single J, the price per catty is between 30-40 yuan. For larger JJ, JJJ and JJJ, each additional "J" will cost 6 yuan to 8 yuan per catty. According to the store, compared with the same period last year, this price has dropped by about 20%. JJJ cherries cost 65 to 70 yuan, and Jjj cherries cost 75 to 80 yuan. The price of cherries in the nearby supermarket is close to that in the fruit shop. The price of cherries has indeed dropped this year: "A catty has dropped by 20 to 30 yuan, and now a catty in 70 yuan will be sold at 100 yuan a catty in previous years."
It is not difficult to see that the price reduction of cherries in Chengdu this winter is between 20% and 30%, whether in the wholesale market or the retail market, although it is not so exaggerated.
First of all, the cherries on the imported market mainly come from Chile. This year, Chilean cherries have been harvested and shipped to China continuously, resulting in a drop in the price of cherries. Different import methods will also affect the final price: "Cherry is more expensive in the early and late supply, and now it is in the middle of stable supply, which is the most affordable time. I don't think it will drop much in the future. " In 2020, the first batch of cherries was transported by air in June at 5438+065438+ 10 yuan per catty 100 yuan. Now it is mainly by sea, with low cost and sufficient quantity. Almost every day, a large number of cargo ships dock to transport a large number of cherries, and the price is almost at a low point.
The price is cheap, but the buyer's market is not very tight. The retailers interviewed by the reporter all reported that the sales of stores declined due to the decline in purchasing power. Under such circumstances, high turnover rate is more important than profit, and small profits but quick turnover have become the constant strategy of wholesalers and fruit merchants. "The profit of cherries this year is not as high as in previous years. We are afraid that pressing the goods will damage the quality of cherries. If we earn 5 yuan 10 yuan a box, we will sell it. " Similarly, some retail store owners also admit that in order to ensure sales, the profit of cherries is now under control, and the single profit has dropped from 30% in previous years to 10%.
