This winter, strawberries** have seen a significant decline, which has attracted widespread attention. It is understood that strawberries in many places this year have shown a downward trend compared with the same period last year.
For example, the latest data released by the Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market shows that many varieties of strawberries such as Hongyan, Tianbao, and Ningyu have plunged sharply.
Taking Hongyan strawberries as an example, the average selling price in December 2023 is 15 yuan jin, compared with 25 yuan jin in the same period last year, a decrease of nearly half.
A dealer who sells strawberries in Dandong, Liaoning Province, said that the price of strawberries was about 20 percent cheaper than in the same period last year.
However, she also pointed out that due to the heavy snow and the upcoming New Year's Day, strawberries are expected to be smaller.
It is also reported that strawberry planters in Wuhan also said that this year's strawberry ** has decreased compared with last year, and the output is relatively large. Therefore, she expects strawberries to continue to decline and reach lows in February and March.
At the Yangpu Longjiang vegetable market in Shanghai, citizens also felt the decline in strawberries. A citizen said that half a month ago it cost 20 yuan to buy a pound of strawberries, and now the same ** can buy two pounds.
In addition, according to CCTV Finance, Yunnan's strawberry production this year has increased by 30% compared to last year,* and it is also 20%-30% cheaper.
Strawberry growers believe that this year's decline is mainly due to increased yields due to a warm winter. In addition to climatic factors, strawberry growers also noted that overall production has also improved this year.
They say that more and more farmers are starting to grow strawberries, which has led to an increase in yields. In contrast, Chilean cherries are still high.
It is understood that Chilean cherries are relatively expensive this year due to higher air freight rates. Industry insiders expect that in order to achieve the decline of sea cherries**, it will be necessary to wait until about January next year.
