As early as the beginning of this year, many people saw some rumors about the "slow sale of red Fuji apples". And rumors, sometimes may be true. Just two or three months ago, a report by CCTV Finance even made the news that the price of Red Fuji apples fell. "Sell a catty and lose a dollar. The more you sell, the more you lose. " "Fruit merchants have lost hundreds of thousands, and fruit farmers have a hard time."
There are actually a lot of negative news about Red Fuji Apple. For fruit farmers and buyers, there is no escape, and this time they can only accept it silently. As the fruit grower said, "I have never encountered such a situation, and the market was low before, but it has never been so difficult as this year." Even experts in the agricultural industry have set the tone for this year's Red Fuji Apple. "Red Fuji has encountered unprecedented challenges. Slow sales and falling prices will affect the annual harvest. "
As the largest producer and consumer of Red Fuji, the output of Red Fuji in China is as high as more than 30 million tons. Because this kind of fruit is very storable, it can be sold all year round. Therefore, in addition to autumn, the red Fuji apples that consumers eat in other seasons are actually stored fruits.
In previous years, the stock of Red Fuji was sold out in less than July, so both fruit farmers, buyers and consumers in the market hoped that the new fruit of that year would come down early. However, this year's Red Fuji market is not optimistic. By the end of July this year, there were more than 2 million tons of Red Fuji in China.
Millions of tons of red Fuji apples are piled up in cold storage, which is very scary for fruit merchants. Because the export business of Red Fuji apples was blocked this year, the domestic inventory of Red Fuji apples was significantly higher than in previous years. However, the domestic demand for Red Fuji is certain, so the speed of destocking becomes very slow. Last year, many fruit producers bought Red Fuji at a high price because of the good market.
Seeing that consumption is slow, we can only rely on "price reduction" to promote sales at this time. The strange circle of agricultural products market is that the lower the price, the less people want it, and it falls into a vicious circle. Thus, the price of red Fuji apples fell and the sales were unsalable. Similar to the purchaser, some fruit farmers who were reluctant to sell last year chose to store them in the cold storage because they saw that the market was good, so these fruit farmers who hoarded goods naturally had a hard time this year.
With the coming of late autumn, the picking season of nearly 10 million tons of bright red Fuji is coming. At this time, for fruit farmers, the mood is very uneasy. After all, many fruit farmers have not sold out their stocks. If sales are delayed, these stocks of Red Fuji can only be dumped in the end. Because "the cold storage needs to clear the inventory and make room for new fruits."
I have to say that this year's Red Fuji market is also undergoing a major reshuffle. Domestic overproduction caused by blocked exports, coupled with high-priced acquisitions and hoarding of goods last year, led to many people losing their money this year. For fruit farmers, especially those who were reluctant to sell last year, this year it is estimated that they can no longer bear the pressure and choose to "abandon the seeds". Therefore, this is also the reason why some growers have recently proposed "no planting next year" in the apple circle.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from this year's Red Fuji market that there are many risks hidden in the fruit planting industry. Affected by the decline in the price of Red Fuji at the beginning of the year, red Fuji apples all over the country are being picked and listed one after another. At present, the market situation is still relatively low. Many places show that the purchase price of Red Fuji is between 1.2 yuan-1.5 yuan. In the same period last year, the price was twice as high as this time.
At this time, for fruit farmers, it is even more important to be cautious about the market. If you can shoot, you can't blindly "reluctantly sell" or wait for high prices. It is a wise choice to "check in with a bag" as soon as possible.
