First, the climate is abnormal.

Originally, now is the time when vegetables are in short supply. Coupled with the abnormal weather, especially some time ago, many places across the country experienced a long period of rainy weather, with more rainfall, and the temperature dropped earlier this year. The weather cold.

Rainfall and cooling, and abnormal climate conditions are not conducive to vegetable production, resulting in a decline in output. Especially after floods, vegetable production is severely reduced, supply is reduced, and supply and demand are tight, which will lead to rising prices.

In other words, the weather is not good and the abnormal weather is the main culprit for the rise in vegetable prices.

Second, production costs are rising.

Another important reason is that the production costs of vegetables are also rising, including seeds, fertilizers and labor costs, which have increased by 30% in some places.

Since the beginning of this year, global commodity prices have risen, and many agricultural production materials have also increased in price, especially the price of chemical fertilizers has risen sharply.

Data show that the price of urea per ton in the first half of the year was about 2,000 yuan, but recently it has risen to more than 3,000 yuan.

And labor costs are also rising. They used to be less than 100 yuan per person per day, but now they exceed 100 yuan.

The increase in costs will naturally be reflected in vegetable prices.

Third, transportation costs are also increasing.

On the one hand, many places have suffered from floods. Vegetable wholesalers have to wholesale vegetables from all regions across the country, which increases the transportation distance.

On the other hand, oil prices are also rising. International crude oil prices have hit a new high, and domestic oil prices have risen for 14 consecutive years since the beginning of this year. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that gasoline and diesel prices rose by 23.4% and 25.7% respectively in September, and the increases continued to expand.

This has caused the transportation costs of vegetables to rise.

Therefore, under the combined influence of the above factors, vegetable prices have increased beyond expectations.
