Recently, a reporter from the Beijing News visited the Xinfadi market in Beijing and learned that the current round of vegetable price increases began in October this year.

The price of fresh and tender vegetables remains high, and spinach has risen to 6 yuan a catty

On October 25, the reporter saw in the vegetable trading area of ​​Beijing Xinfadi Market that the price of leafy vegetables had risen significantly

Why is the price of spinach so obvious? A merchant in Xinfadi told reporters that the continuous rain in the early period had a relatively large impact on leafy vegetables such as spinach, and spinach in some production areas was damaged due to soaking

According to merchants, the broccoli in Langfang, Hebei Province and Handan was soaked in rainwater in the early stage, and the quality of the lettuce was drastically reduced; the tuan lettuce in Yanqing, Tongzhou, Shunyi, and Langfang, Hebei was soaked in rainwater in the early stage, the heart of the cabbage was rotted, and the output dropped sharply

The prices of other fresh and tender vegetables have risen significantly, especially small varieties of leafy vegetables, such as coriander, fennel, lettuce, loose leaf lettuce, bitter chrysanthemum, etc.

However, the prices of storage-stable vegetables remained basically stable

Rain affects the growth and harvest of vegetables, almost cut off the supply of vegetables

"The continuous rainfall in the early stage has affected the growth of vegetables.

Zhang Yuxi said that in September of this year, he also went to Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other producing areas to see the growth of autumn vegetables.

In addition to rainfall, there was no sun for more than 10 consecutive days, which affected the growth of some greenhouse vegetables

According to Xinfadi's statistics, on October 26, Beijing Xinfadi's vegetable supply was 15,200 tons, which was less than usual

Southern cuisine has entered Beijing ahead of schedule, and it is expected to be relieved in early November

At present, Xinfadi Market is mobilizing merchants to actively purchase vegetables from the production areas, expand the scope of purchases, try to increase the number of purchases, and strive to ensure supply and stable prices
