01/30
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 29th, the Spring Festival is approaching, and facing the challenge of the epidemic, is the people's "vegetable basket" stable? The reporter recently visited Beijing, Sichuan and other places, went deep into the supermarkets, wholesale markets, etc., and brought first-line observations.
The supply is relatively sufficient, and there is no basis for the price to rise sharply
Cabbage is 1.38 yuan per catty, mushrooms are 4.98 yuan per catty, and green beans are 5.98 yuan per catty... The reporter saw at a Wumart supermarket in Fengtai District, Beijing a few days ago that vegetables and other commodities are in sufficient supply and prices are relatively stable.
According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the wholesale price of "vegetable basket" products has continued to rise slightly in recent years.
Price trends are greatly affected by supply and demand. From the perspective of supply fundamentals, the supply of vegetables, pork and other livelihood commodities is relatively sufficient, and there is no basis for a sharp rise in prices during the Spring Festival.
Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs show that the current national vegetable field covers more than 80 million mu, which can supply about 3 catties of vegetables per person per day; the production of live pigs has resumed ahead of schedule, and the production capacity of beef, mutton, poultry, milk and eggs is at a high level; the fruit market The total quantity is sufficient, the variety is many, and the price is relatively stable.
This year's Spring Festival coincides with the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, superimposed on the impact of the epidemic, and the "vegetable basket" is facing certain pressure to ensure supply and stabilize prices. In this regard, many places across the country have stepped up the organization of supply sources and launched the release of government reserved meat and vegetables to ensure market supply.
For example, Beijing has adopted the "reward + subsidy" model to encourage large supermarket chains to increase the scale of purchases, and supports supply guarantee companies to organize supply sources into Beijing through multiple channels. At present, the major supermarkets in the city have a complete range of goods; The government has successively launched the release of vegetable reserves to ensure sufficient supply in the market.
"Recently, vegetables are mainly shipped to the north, and the price is relatively stable." Zhu Limei, a stall owner in the second area of the vegetable area of the Sichuan Yurun International Agricultural Products Trading Center, said that several thousand catties of peppers have been shipped from her stall every day.
According to the relevant person in charge of the trading center, in order to ensure the supply of agricultural products during the festival, the wholesale market has strengthened the connection between production and sales, established a working commando, and mobilized merchants in the market to actively allocate supplies to ensure market supply.
Smooth logistics and transportation is a key part of ensuring the supply of "vegetable baskets". Recently, there have been snowfalls in Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Anhui and other places. Relevant localities have made it clear that while implementing epidemic prevention and control measures, they will strictly implement the green channel policy for the transportation of fresh agricultural products, and give priority to inspections and priority passages for guaranteed supply vehicles.
"Do a good job of winter and spring vegetable production in key areas such as the 'Southern Vegetables Transported to the North' base, the major vegetable provinces in the north, and large and medium-sized cities, continue to do a good job in livestock and poultry aquaculture, and continuously improve the market supply capacity of 'vegetable basket' products." Agriculture Tang Ke, director of the Department of Marketing and Information Technology of the Ministry of Rural Affairs, said.
Strengthen price monitoring and early warning to ensure the basic livelihood of the people in need
"During the Spring Festival, there may be continuous strong rain and snow in some areas, combined with the increase in gasoline and diesel prices and seasonal factors. It is expected that vegetable prices will be relatively firm. We must continue to strengthen monitoring and early warning, and resolutely crack down on price gouging and malicious price increases. " said Wang Likun, an associate researcher at the Institute of Market Economy of the Development Research Center of the State Council.
Monitoring and early warning is an important part of ensuring supply and stabilizing prices. Only by strengthening the accurate monitoring of market prices, supply, and reserves of "vegetable basket" commodities during the festival period, especially in epidemic areas, can we grasp market dynamics and reserves in a timely manner, and effectively maintain market price order.
In order to further standardize the market price order during the Spring Festival, many places across the country continue to strengthen market price monitoring, analysis and early warning, and strengthen price supervision. For example, the Liuzhou Development and Reform Commission of Guangxi organized price inspections, and cooperated with market supervision departments to continue to carry out key market inspections and random inspections. Increase the frequency of inspections, etc., to ensure that the "vegetable basket" commodities have sufficient quantity and stable prices.
The price change of "vegetable basket" is directly related to the living cost of the people. During the Spring Festival, ensuring the basic livelihood of the people in need is the proper meaning of realizing the "vegetable basket", ensuring supply and stable prices.
Recently, Tianjin, Shandong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places have increased the basic living guarantee for the needy people by issuing one-time price subsidies and implementing preferential supply of materials for the Spring Festival.
Zhang Wei, deputy director of the Social Assistance Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said that he will guide all localities to pay close attention to, track and judge price changes, activate the linkage mechanism between social assistance and security standards and price increases, and issue temporary price subsidies in a timely manner to alleviate the difficulties caused by price increases. impact on people's lives.
Consolidate the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system and build a long-term mechanism to ensure supply and stabilize prices
Many experts said that in the long run, to ensure supply and price stability of the "vegetable basket", it is necessary to further compact the "vegetable basket" mayor's responsibility system, optimize the entire chain of production, circulation and consumption of important livelihood commodities, and build a long-term mechanism.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs that, on the whole, the total production and supply of "vegetable basket" products in various cities is sufficient, but some cities have also exposed that their self-sufficiency has declined. Short-term price hikes and other issues require further consolidation of the "vegetable basket" mayor's responsibility system.
"To consolidate the 'vegetable basket' mayor's responsibility system, we must first protect and build the 'vegetable garden' to ensure that the area of vegetable fields increases steadily." Large cities should, on the basis of fully tapping their self-sufficiency potential, establish channels for supply guarantees for production bases in other cities, to ensure that the supply can be advanced and supplied during critical periods.
Wang Likun suggested that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the city's own fresh agricultural product production bases and build a number of emergency support bases. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of cold chain logistics facilities for storage and preservation of agricultural products, and improve the market circulation system.
Playing the role of the baton in the assessment is an important part of consolidating the "vegetable basket" mayor's responsibility system. Tang Ke said that the assessment content of the "vegetable basket" mayor's responsibility system will be optimized and improved, more emphasis will be placed on the construction of production capacity and market regulation capacity, more emphasis will be placed on ensuring supply and price stability during important periods, and promoting the improvement of the assessment, incentive and restraint mechanism, and comprehensively Advance the assessment of prefecture-level cities.
"To build a long-term mechanism for ensuring supply and stabilizing prices, we must give full play to the positive role of the market in regulating supply and demand and stabilizing prices, comprehensively deploy and improve price control mechanisms, establish and improve price monitoring, forecasting and early warning systems, emergency emergency control mechanisms, and respond to prices. The rising people's livelihood guarantee mechanism, etc., will prevent the 'vegetable basket' prices from fluctuating and affecting the basic people's livelihood." Zhang Jing said.
