If the price falls, we need to wait for the next production area to be mature and listed

Zhao Shigang, the "king of tomatoes" in Xinfadi, told the Beijing News that as the tomato harvest in Shandong production areas comes to an end, his current supply mainly comes from Panzhihua in Sichuan and Yuxi in Yunnan

Analyzing the reasons for the recent high price of tomatoes, Zhao Shigang first mentioned the reduction in production caused by the shrinking of the planting area

He told reporters that according to the calculation of his production area, the planting area of ​​tomatoes this year has decreased by about one-third compared with last year.

Regarding the follow-up price trend, Zhao Shigang believes that it is unlikely that the price of tomatoes will fall back a year ago.

So, when will the price of tomatoes turn an inflection point? "It is estimated that we will have to wait until the tomatoes in the next production area are ripe for the market

Rising prices may not be a good thing for vegetable farmers.
