People who pay attention to the price of green onions can recall: when the green onions were harvested last year, the price of green onions was two to three times higher than that of previous years. Even so, the market volume was not high. When the buyers raised questions, what was the reason given by the green onion dealers for the price increase? There are few kinds of onions this year (referring to 2020)? .
In fact, there are several reasons for the price increase of agricultural and sideline products: first, due to natural disasters, production has been greatly reduced; Second, the price of production materials such as seeds, pesticides and fertilizers has increased; Third, vegetable farmers are reluctant to sell; Fourth, market regulation; The fifth is capital operation, which leads to hoarding and even monopolizing the market, and maximizes the benefits by speculating the market with capital.
Take the onion price in Beijing as an example. Although the neighboring Hebei Province and the onion producing areas as far away as Shandong and Henan were affected by the epidemic last year, they were negligible, and no major natural disasters occurred. The production materials such as agricultural materials did not increase significantly. Even if the planting area decreased, there was no shortage of onions to sell.
Then, at present, there are only two reasons for the soaring price of green onions. Farmers are reluctant to sell or hoard monopoly. My uncle worked in the agricultural and rural sector before he retired, and he still knows something about the psychology of vegetable farmers. The farmers who really grow vegetables want to earn more, which is completely understandable and should be supported. But for individual farmers, they will never be reluctant to sell dozens or hundreds of tons of green onions in the ground, which may cause huge losses in the future. However, they will be satisfied if they sell them for a few cents more than last year in a natural state according to market regulation or various factors. So the real reason for the soaring price of green onions is the monopoly of the market under capital operation, which is often said to be in the circulation link? Vegetable vendor? Hoarding
It is understood that there were many green onions before the harvest season last year? Vegetable vendor? Go to the farmer's home and buy all the green onions by paying a down payment, and then pay the full amount according to the actual harvest after harvest. So the green onions will naturally return? Vegetable vendor? All, the price is determined by these people. And the money earned by vegetable farmers is more than? Vegetable vendor? Much less, the real beneficiaries are hoarding green onions? Vegetable vendor? Vegetable farmers just become migrant workers of vegetable dealers. ?
Although it is inevitable that the price of green onions will rise, there is an old saying in China that money in hand is money. Recently, roads have been closed in some places, and many rural markets have stopped setting up stalls, and people are not allowed to buy things in the streets. These reasons may eventually lead to the price of green onions rising to a certain point, and onion farmers want to sell them, but vehicles can't get in, so they may be smashed in their hands. Instead of taking risks to gamble, it is better to buy and sell while the market is still active and vehicles can get in and out. If the market really closes and the roads in the village are closed, and the middlemen can't come to the hands of the onion farmers to buy, then many people will cry in the end.
