Since the Spring Festival holiday, a wide range of low-temperature rain and snow weather has occurred in many places in China, which is not conducive to the growth, harvesting and transportation of vegetables
.
However, from the market price point of view, the national vegetable price showed a continuous slight downward trend
The national average wholesale price data of 28 kinds of vegetables monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that in terms of weekly prices, the Spring Festival holiday (the first week of February) was 5.
94 yuan per kilogram, an increase of 1.
7% over the previous month.
As of February 16), they fell to 5.
71 yuan and 5.
53 yuan respectively, down 3.
9% and 3.
2% from the previous month, and both fell by more than 10% year-on-year
.
According to common sense, low temperature, rain and snow weather is not conducive to the growth, harvesting and transportation of vegetables, and will inevitably drive up prices.
Why have the national vegetable prices continued to decline since the Spring Festival this year?
Experts said that the reason for the decline in vegetable prices is that the supply is guaranteed
.
Zhang Jing, chief analyst of the vegetable market analysis and early warning team of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that from the perspective of supply, the national vegetable field area reached more than 80 million mu in January, an increase of more than 2 million mu year-on-year
There are also consumption-related reasons for the decline in vegetable prices
.
During the Spring Festival, consumers are less sensitive to vegetable prices, and some vegetables, despite their relatively high prices, did not inhibit demand
Although vegetable prices continued to decline, the seasonal decline was not as fast as the same period in previous years
.
In terms of varieties, the prices of 15 kinds of vegetables in the national vegetable market increased year-on-year, while 13 kinds decreased.
The reason is that the price of vegetables has remained high since last autumn, and the purchase price of the origin has also been at a high level, making the overall price of vegetables still higher than the price of the same period last year
.
Regarding the reasons for the high tomato prices, Zhang Jing introduced that on the one hand, the tomato prices continued to slump in the spring of last year, and sales in some areas were unsustainable, which led to the reduction of plantings in Zhejiang Cangnan, Yunnan Yuanmou, Sichuan Panzhihua and other producing areas this season; on the other hand, because of Shandong and Henan.
Regarding the price movement of vegetables in the later period, Zhang Jing believes that it will maintain a high volatility trend, and the price of some varieties may fluctuate greatly
.
Affected by rising gasoline and diesel prices and seasonal factors, vegetable prices are expected to remain firm in the short term
