There seems to be a general feeling this year that the market performance of agricultural and sideline products is not ideal. Whether it's vegetables or meat, they're generally lower than they used to be. Especially in wet markets, consumers can clearly feel the drop in prices.
Winter has arrived, but vegetables such as cabbage, sweet potatoes and radishes** are sluggish. Remarkably, hairy crabs have reached record lows, and pork has also fallen by about 40%. What's going on here?Does it mean that the trend of *** has been formed?
01, vegetables ** fell sharply 1, sweet potatoes *** In late autumn and winter, sweet potatoes often appear as a popular food, and roasted sweet potatoes on the streets can be seen everywhere, and their deliciousness is unforgettable. However, despite the high price of roasted sweet potatoes on the street, at 7 to 8 yuan per catty, farmers' purchases** are surprisingly low. According to reports, this year's sweet potatoes have been sharply reduced, with farmers complaining of a significant reduction in income. For example, in Weifang, Shandong, starch potatoes are mainly planted, which were 7 cents per catty when they first went on the market, but soon after** began to decline, and now they have fallen to 4 to 5 cents per catty. The situation in Hubei** is similar to that in Weifang. Last year, the sweet potato market was better, but this year, it has generally dropped by half, and the income of farmers has dropped significantly. The reason for the decline in sweet potatoes is mainly due to the expansion of the planting area and good weather conditions, which led to a surplus.
2. Chinese cabbage** fell sharply in November every year, and Chinese cabbage entered the centralized listing period. However, this year's growers are not optimistic, as ** has been declining since it hit the market. Supermarkets attract a large number of consumers through low prices**. Last year, the wholesale ** of cabbage was about 5 cents per catty, but this year it has dropped to 2 to 3 cents. The increase in planting area and excellent autumn weather led to a significant increase in cabbage production, and the market was oversupplied.
3. Radish is difficult to sell In addition to cabbage, the market for radish is not optimistic. According to reports, the planting area of radish in Piyang County has reached 300,000 mu, but the market is not smooth. Uncle Wang, a grower, said that the radish market was good last year, so he increased the planting area this year. But due to the increase in production this year, the radish has become difficult to sell.
4. Hairy crabs*** Recently, hairy crabs have become a hot topic again with the news of "** to less than 10 yuan per fish". In Ningbo and Hefei, both wholesale and retail sales** of hairy crabs have dropped significantly. The situation is similar in Nanjing. The decline in hairy crabs is mainly due to the surplus and reduced market demand.
5. Pork ** fell by 40% Recently, pork ** has declined significantly. According to official figures, pork** fell by about 40% year-on-year. The decline in pig ** has led to an increase in the losses of farmers. Overcapacity is the main reason for the decline in pork**. However, it is expected that pork** may pick up somewhat as demand increases.
In addition, other meat products such as beef, lamb and eggs** also showed a downward trend. This reflects a decrease in overall market demand. However, it is expected that with the change of seasons, consumer demand will increase, which may drive the price of meat and vegetables**.
