However, it is found that the crayfish market this year seems to be not beautiful, and the price in many places has been halved, and the lowest price has dropped to 10 yuan. Many people ridicule crayfish for being really blind! What happened?
0 1, a roast duck =4 kg crayfish?
Before the first half of April every year, the price of crayfish has been relatively expensive, especially in February and March. Because of the small supply, crayfish is even more expensive.
However, since the end of March this year, crayfish began to decline, and it has been sluggish so far. Some netizens even spoke out: "A roast duck =4 kg of crayfish?"
For example, in the Kunming market, crayfish do not perform very well.
The reporter found that the crayfish in Kunming market decreased by 20-30 yuan/kg compared with that in March, which attracted many people to buy because of its low price, among which the crayfish with a price of 4-6 yuan was very popular.
In Changsha aquatic products market, the lowest price of crayfish has dropped to 10 yuan/kg, but because of its small size, few people buy it, so it is suitable for making shrimp tails.
Lao Liu told reporters that at present, crayfish has dropped to 10 yuan per catty, and the bigger one is 16- 18 yuan per catty.
However, the price of crayfish above 7 yuan is still expensive, 40-50 yuan per catty.
For daily consumption, just buy 18 yuan per catty.
In other stalls, crayfish are basically in 10- 18 yuan/kg, but the big ones need 45 yuan per kg.
Ms. Wang, a citizen, said that she bought 16 yuan/kg in the market a few days ago, and now it has dropped to 12 yuan/kg.
In a supermarket in Changsha, crayfish were basically sold out after only two hours, and the price was 16.8 yuan/kg.
The staff said that the crayfish was 20.8 yuan a catty two days ago, but now the supply has increased and the price has continued to decline.
Nanxian County of Yiyang is the producing area of crayfish. In March, the price of crayfish for 3-5 yuan was 50-60 yuan/kg, but now it has dropped to 15- 16 yuan/kg; More than 7 yuan is 1 10- 120 yuan per catty, but now it has dropped to 37-38 yuan per catty.
Some wholesalers said that the price of the pond will drop to 7- 10 yuan per catty in May.
In Jinan, the price of crayfish has also dropped significantly. Lao Zhu, the marketing manager, said that this year's crayfish market was advanced, and it was only listed in May last year, but it began to flood into the market in mid-April.
In addition, there were few big lobsters in April last year, but now there are quite a few big lobsters.
It is these factors that make the market price of crayfish drop obviously.
For example, 2-3 yuan is basically 13 yuan/kg, and cheap 10 yuan/kg; Crawfish with a price of 4-6 yuan is currently quoted as 18 yuan/kg, and 20 yuan with better quality/kg; And the lobster with the size of 8 yuan has dropped to 35 yuan/Jin, down 40% compared with previous years.
Mr. Wang, a citizen, said that the price of crayfish has been halved now, and he bought 3 Jin of lobster, 12 yuan, and the merchants also gave away seasoning packages to attract customers to buy.
02. Why did crayfish fall?
Since 20 15, crayfish has sprung up by the Internet platform, and has been transformed into online celebrity cuisine, which is deeply loved by people all over the country.
Since the 18 World Cup, drinking beer and eating lobster has become a new trend, and the crayfish industry has continued to expand, with an output value of 380 billion yuan.
However, behind the growing output value of crayfish, it is the shrinking price of crayfish.
Some people are curious, why is crayfish ushered in a decline now that it is in the peak season?
1, the peak season has shrunk
In the past, lobster shops were open from April to 1 1 month, but now the peak season is only 3-4 months, which greatly affects the crayfish industry.
After all, seafood products began to enter the market in August, and hairy crabs entered the market again in September, which made crayfish sales suffer.
At the same time, the scale of crayfish farming is relatively large, but it is shrinking in the peak season, so its market is greatly affected.
2. Affected by the mask incident
According to statistics, the output value of crayfish in 20 19 was 4 1 10 billion yuan, but due to the mask incident, the output value shrank to 344.846 billion yuan in 2020.
From the perspective of online sales, it was 60 million yuan in 2000, but it was only10 million in 202 1 0, which is a cliff-like decline.
From these data, it can be found that after the mask incident, the sales of crayfish declined year by year.
Although some people say that take-away lobster is also very popular.
In fact, take-out accounts for only about 15%, which cannot replace traditional lobster shops.
In everyone's opinion, the taste of takeaway is biased, and takeaway can't eat the feeling of food stalls.
3. Poor traffic
Since the year of this year, mask incidents have appeared in many places across the country. Until today, the traffic is still not smooth, which can make crayfish farmers suffer greatly.
Affected by the weather, crayfish are listed in advance, and the output is on the high side. However, due to poor traffic, it is difficult for lobsters in producing areas to enter big cities.
For some big cities, the demand of the catering industry is deserted, and the sales of crayfish are bleak. As a result, the trading of crayfish is deserted, and the prices of producing areas fall, which in turn affects the market quotation.
So, can the May Day Golden Holiday reverse the disadvantage of the crayfish market?
At present, I'm afraid it is difficult to form a tourism boom on May 1 this year, and the catering industry will naturally be affected.
However, it is inevitable that the sales of crayfish will increase. It is expected that the price of crayfish will increase during the holidays, but it will continue to fall after the holidays. What do you think?
