Original title: Vegetables are more expensive than meat? Experts analyze the reasons for the recent increase in vegetable prices
CCTV, Beijing, October 23 (Reporter Feng Shuo) According to the Voice of China Central Radio and Television "News Evening Peak" report, it is generally recognized that meat is much more expensive than vegetables, but all over the country Consumers have gradually discovered that the "value" of vegetables such as spinach and cucumber has risen recently, and there have been many situations where "vegetables are more expensive than meat".
The data released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the 22nd also showed that the average price of 28 kinds of vegetables under monitoring was 5.68 yuan/kg, an increase of 2.7% from October 21.
The top five price increases were cabbage, green peppers, beans, and green onions. And eggplant, the ranges were 9.6%, 6.1%, 5.3%, 4.4% and 4.3% respectively. What are the reasons for the recent increase in vegetable prices? What's the future trend?
Broccoli is 8 yuan a catty, green beans are 10 yuan a catty, spinach is 15 yuan a catty, leeks even reached 18 yuan a catty, higher than the price of pork. Recently, the price of vegetables in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province has generally risen, and some varieties of vegetables are even hard to find.
In a market in Nanchang, many citizens were buying vegetables. Ms. Xiong, a citizen, did not buy the leek flowers and spinach she wanted to buy. Instead, she bought some lettuce and chili.
The same situation also appeared in the vegetable section of the Changxing Xinnongdu Agricultural Wholesale Market, the largest agricultural product wholesale market in northern Zhejiang. After the citizens had purchased it, they expressed a feeling that "vegetables are more expensive than meat".
Consumers feel that while vegetable prices are generally rising, vendors are more sensitive to price movements. Vendor Liu Shuling introduced that since the end of the National Day holiday, the price of vegetables has been rising continuously. Both local and foreign vegetable prices have risen sharply, and some have even doubled.
Zhang Jing, chief vegetable analyst of the agricultural product market analysis and early warning team of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, analyzed that this round of vegetable price increases was mainly affected by previous weather changes. She said: "Since the National Day, large-scale precipitation and continuous precipitation and cooling have had a relatively large impact on the current vegetables. On the one hand, harvesting may be affected in summer. The harvesting and harvesting process in summer may be affected. The vegetables may be damaged, and it may take some time to rejuvenate in the later stage."
In addition, the increase in vegetable distribution costs is also a factor. Take the 15 tons of vegetables delivered to the Jinhua agricultural market in Shandong Shouguang as an example. The average freight price in the first half of the year was 4,600 yuan/car, and in the second half of the year, it had risen to 5,200 yuan/car, a 13% increase from the previous month.
The growing “heavy” of the vegetable basket has made many consumers feel overwhelmed. For this reason, various localities have also begun to take active measures to maintain supply and stabilize prices.
At present, major wholesale markets in various regions have successively organized merchants to harvest in various production areas, and at the same time, various localities also encourage vegetable farmers to strengthen replanting of autumn vegetables to ensure stable supply and stable prices.
Beijing Xinfadi Market organizes 3 million mu of self-owned planting bases and merchants across the country to increase the deployment of vegetables into Beijing and develop new sources of goods. Zhejiang Yongkang A Farmer's Trade City stepped up efforts to organize vegetable purchases.
Nanchang, Jiangxi, has also organized specialized technicians to go deep into the fields to carry out pest control. The main vegetable planting bases in the city have also urgently dispatched additional personnel to increase the supply of vegetables, so as to achieve full collection and rapid listing. Yan Yiqiang, the technical director of the vegetable base in Xintang Village, Liuhu Town, Xinjian District, Nanchang City, said: "At present, we can harvest 10,000 to 20,000 catties a day for green vegetables, and more than 5,000 catties a day for broccoli."
Zhang Jing said that autumn vegetables in October and November will be available in large quantities, which is expected to provide better support for winter vegetable supply. "Now major wholesale markets have also organized merchants to harvest in various production areas. This is an effective measure to ensure the supply of urban vegetables. In addition, October and November are when autumn vegetables are on the market in large quantities. Stubble vegetables are strengthened to replant, and there are some incentive measures in the field, which may also play a better supporting role in maintaining vegetable supply."
Zhao Ping, vice president of the Research Institute of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, predicts that with the arrival of autumn, the weather will gradually clear, vegetable transportation will gradually return to normal, and vegetable prices will generally show a downward trend. "Because the previous rainfall has affected the planting of autumn and winter vegetables in some areas, there may be a situation where supply and demand are not smooth in the short term. It is expected that vegetable prices will fall to a certain extent in the future, but generally speaking, they will still be higher than the price level of previous years. ."
