202 1 why did the price of potatoes fall?
In the first half of 20021,the price of potatoes fell for the following reasons:
Reason 1, market supply
Due to the centralized harvesting of potatoes in various places, the cold storage is not active, resulting in a large market supply, coupled with the slow delivery speed of the market, coupled with the seasonal price drop of vegetables, the price of potatoes has also been lowered.
The second reason is international factors.
Last year, affected by the international epidemic, there was a wave of agricultural products speculation in China. The prices of agricultural products such as corn, garlic, ginger and green onions have risen rapidly, and so have the prices of potatoes.
Last year, the average purchase price was mostly 0.6-0.8 yuan/kg, and the potato inventory was at a historical high. After the year, the price of potatoes plummeted, and the wholesale market price dropped to 0.3-0.4 yuan/kg. Some purchasing and storage companies finally had to grind their teeth to ship, which led to a rapid drop in potato prices.
The third reason is the supply of potatoes in greenhouses in the north.
There is a large area of greenhouse potatoes in the north, because there is no storage cost. The listing of these potatoes has impacted the receiving time and price of stored potatoes, which is also one of the reasons for the decline in potato prices.
