Why is this winter's vegetables so "cabbage price"?Market Movement Analysis!
The market for winter vegetables is in short supply.
Winter is the best period for the production of pickles and mustards, but the decline in various vegetables this winter is really incredible. Compared with previous years, vegetables have dropped a lot, and have even fallen below a five-year low, which can be said to be real"Cabbage price"。Except for high-yielding vegetables such as cabbage and radish, other vegetables** are not expensive, and most of them** have fallen below a five-year low.
Market supply and demand are the main factors that determine the rise and fall of vegetables. There are two main reasons for the large number of vegetables this winter: one is that farmers have expanded the scale of planting, and the other is that the climatic conditions are conducive to the growth of vegetables. In recent years, many young people have returned to their hometowns to start their own businesses and choose to grow in the countryside because they are farmers and own land. Vegetables such as cabbage, radish, carrots, onions, etc., which are easy to grow and have high yields, have become the first choice for many farmers. In recent years, vegetables have remained high, planting profits are attractive, not only new farmers have joined the planting industry, some farmers have also expanded the scale of planting, resulting in an oversupply of vegetables.
However, this year's weather has also had a positive impact on vegetable growth. Compared to last year's persistent high temperatures and drought, this year's winter was milder and more conducive to the growth of vegetables. Suitable climatic conditions and continuous improvement of planting techniques have led to more vigorous growth of vegetables and correspondingly higher yields. Vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and white radish, in particular, increased yields by about 20% in favourable climatic conditions.
Oversupply market conditions.
While consumers are also happy with the decline in vegetables produced by horticulturists, this is a big challenge for horticulturists. Compared with the retail price of the market, the price of the head vegetables is more obvious, and the purchase price of some vegetables even falls below the cost of production. This means that vegetable growers are not paid properly after a year of hard work.
Vegetables falling below the cost line will not only cause losses to vegetable farmers, but also have a negative impact on the planting enthusiasm of vegetable farmers. The reduction of vegetable farmers' enthusiasm for planting will lead to a decrease in the amount of vegetables in the later stage, which will make it more difficult to stabilize vegetable prices. Therefore, we must seriously consider how to protect the interests of vegetable farmers and promote the healthy development of the market.
Protecting the interests of vegetable producers and developing healthy markets.
In the face of the grim situation of vegetable growth, we must take measures to protect the interests of vegetable growers and promote the healthy development of the market.
First of all, we should increase support for farmers. By providing agricultural subsidies, subsidized loans, technical training, etc., vegetable producers can be helped to reduce costs and improve yield and quality. At the same time, it can also strengthen the control of agricultural products, release the market in a timely manner, and provide reference for decision-making.
Secondly, it is necessary to improve the logistics and distribution of agricultural products. Improve the efficiency of logistics and transportation, reduce the loss of horticultural products, ensure the freshness and quality of products, reduce the cost of intermediate links, and make agricultural products circulate in the market with reasonable quality.
In addition, farmers can be encouraged to participate in the processing of agricultural products. Through the development of deep processing of agricultural products, we can increase added value, improve the anti-risk ability of agricultural products, and reduce farmers' sensitivity to vegetable fluctuations.
Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the management and regulation of the agricultural product market. Improve the degree of commercialization, promote the circulation of agricultural products, avoid unfair competition through manipulation, cost control, etc., and maintain a fair market order.
Through the above measures, the interests of vegetable producers can be protected and the healthy development of the market can be promoted. Only by fully protecting the interests of vegetable growers and consumers can we achieve long-term stability and sustainable development of the agricultural product market. Let's work together to better protect the interests of vegetable producers and promote the healthy development of the market under the current situation
