I bought 50 catties of radishes to pickle dried radish, and it only cost 10 yuan. ”
0.I haven't seen cabbage for 19 yuan a pound for many years, and it's really the 'cabbage price'. ”
Recent. Many people lamented that the price of vegetables this winter is so cheap.
Vegetables fell out of the "cabbage price".
The lowest in the last five years.
So. Why can't vegetables sell at a high price?
Cold air is coming.
Does it have an impact on the sluggish food prices?
What is the trend of vegetables in the future?
And how to prevent "cheap vegetables from hurting farmers"?
Vegetable prices have dropped sharply this winter.
In the past two days, the reporter visited a number of supermarkets and vegetable markets in Beijing, and the price of Chinese cabbage was concentrated between 5 jiao and 1 yuan, and the white radish ** was mostly between 1 yuan and 1$5. Since November, cabbage, radish, potatoes and other seasonal vegetables in the northern region have been put on the market in large quantities, and the joy of the harvest is still there, but the vegetable farmers in the fields have felt the "chill" first. Compared with the same period last year, the price of vegetables in autumn and winter this year is significantly lower. In November, the national average wholesale price of 28 kinds of vegetables monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was 458 yuan, month-on-month **58%, 5 percent lower than the average price of the same period in the past three years2%。In terms of varieties, there are 19 kinds of products and 9 kinds of products. Among them, spinach ** fell by 266%, Chinese cabbage fell 264%。
According to the monitoring of Beijing Xinfadi Market, the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage was the lowest 02 yuan, the highest is only 045 yuan, potatoes ** fell by 30%, cabbage, celery ** also fell to the lowest point in recent years. In the field, the "value" of vegetables such as cabbage and radish is lower, so that everyone has a clearer understanding of the "price of cabbage".

Shandong is one of the main vegetable producing areas in the country. Mr. Wang of Jiaozhou, Shandong Province, who often goes to the supermarket, told reporters that this year's vegetables are much cheaper than last year, "like the recent Chinese cabbage 0."3 pounds, 0 white radish8 pounds, green radish 05 pounds, ** are relatively low". In Yangzhou, Jiangsu, many people took advantage of the cheap vegetables and bought some for pickling. "If you buy a little more while it's cheap, you can pickle it if you can't finish it, and you can save a lot of money on vegetables in winter." Ms. Wu, a citizen, said that she has been busy visiting vegetable markets and supermarkets recently, and she will buy more vegetables when they are cheap.
However, affected by the cold wave recently, North China, Huanghuai and other places ushered in the first large-scale snowfall this winter, and vegetable prices appeared. On December 8, the weighted average price of vegetables in Beijing's Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market was 285 yuan kg, compared to 281 yuan kg**142%。
As the weather turns colder and transportation costs rise, seasonal vegetables such as Chinese cabbage are estimated to stop falling, and green leafy vegetables will also increase. Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.
According to Xinfadi market analyst Liu Tong, in the past few days, affected by the weather, Chinese cabbage has already had a trend, and other vegetables have also begun to recover, but due to the impact of stock, it is expected that there will not be too much. ”
Why did vegetable prices fall into the "trough" this winter?
What is the price of vegetables in winter**?Zhang Jing, chief analyst of the vegetable market analysis and early warning team of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that there are three main reasons: first, the overall weather in autumn is warm, the climatic conditions are suitable for the growth of vegetables, and the yield has increased significantly. Chinese cabbage, in particular, has an increase of about 20% per yield. Second, the planting area of vegetables has increased, and the foundation for stable production and supply is better. Last year, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, white radish and other "big road vegetables" ** were at a high level, this year's planting willingness is stronger, and the northern cold vegetable production areas and Shandong, Jiangsu and other places have expanded. At the beginning of November, the national vegetable field area increased by 12%。The total supply of storage-resistant varieties in autumn is large, and the market supply increases, resulting in a continuous bottoming out. Third, due to the adverse weather in the early stage, the listing of some producing areas was postponed, and related varieties of open-field vegetables and cold shed vegetables were listed at the same time. Chinese cabbage ** was once more than 30% lower than the same period in the past three years, the lowest point in the same period in recent years, and individual producing areas even fell below the cost, and it was difficult to sell locally.

At the same time, in recent years, with the improvement of winter and spring vegetables in the north, residents' winter vegetable storage Xi has changed, from the past to purchase a large number of vegetables to buy as you eat, the perennial short-term centralized procurement has been greatly reduced, and the market is oversupplied, which in turn leads to ***
So, will vegetable prices continue to fall this winter?Experts said that shelf-stable vegetables are the ballast stone for ensuring supply and price stability in winter, and the overall situation is expected to be stable. At present, the stock of such vegetables in the country is sufficient and sufficient, accounting for a large proportion of the amount of vegetables, and the fluctuation range is very small. Among them, the output of white radish, Chinese cabbage and cabbage in Hubei and Sichuan is relatively high, and they are facing certain sales pressure.
Li Huishang, a researcher at the Agricultural Information Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, expects that after two large-scale cold waves, the market as a whole will quickly enter the stage of "southern vegetables and northern transportation", and the supply of vegetables in northern facilities will gradually increase. The rising production costs of cross-regional transportation and facilities have limited room for vegetable prices to fall, and vegetable prices are expected to gradually turn into a seasonal upward stage in the later period.
How to prevent "expensive vegetables from hurting the people, and cheap vegetables from hurting farmers"?
Although the rise and fall of vegetable prices is a normal market phenomenon, the impact of the sharp increase on farmers cannot be ignored at any time. It is worth thinking about how to avoid this kind of phenomenon of "expensive vegetables hurting farmers, and cheap vegetables hurting farmers" being staged again and again

Vegetable prices falling below the cost line will not only cause losses to vegetable farmers, but also dampen their enthusiasm for planting, which is not conducive to the stability of vegetable prices in the later period. In the face of problems such as unsalable vegetables and difficulty in selling, relevant departments have begun to take action.
On December 12, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs deployed the current vegetable production and marketing work, requiring the improvement of the provincial and ministerial linkage working mechanism, building information, products, bases and other docking platforms, and improving the pertinence, accuracy and effectiveness of production and marketing docking. For vegetable varieties that may be difficult to sell unsalable, strengthen production and marketing docking services, and strive to ensure the income of vegetable farmers.
Recently, the China Vegetable Association released three vegetable industry maps, including area yield, main varieties, market cycle and other information, hoping to answer the question of "in **, how much". This enlightens us that we must make overall plans for production development, production and marketing convergence, circulation and transportation, market regulation and control, and other work.
On the production side, it is necessary to improve the quality of the industry, and large planters must understand agriculture and business. The level of mechanized vegetable planting is much lower than that of grain, and expensive labor has increasingly become an industrial bottleneck, which requires the main body of production to make a fuss about reducing costs. In recent years, organic and healthy vegetables have developed rapidly, while homogenized large-scale goods may be unsalable. Large planters should study the market, choose good varieties, improve quality, and build brands. Shandong Shouguang continues to extend the vegetable industry chain and help vegetable farmers increase their income from the aspects of facilities, exhibitions, and standards, which is worthy of reference from other major producing areas. It is advisable to support the construction of pre-cooling, storage, transportation and preservation facilities in the field to reduce losses and stagger the peak to market.
On the circulation side, we will promote the in-depth docking of production and marketing, and continuously improve the efficiency of circulation. Implement the requirements of the "vegetable basket" mayor responsibility system, strengthen information monitoring and scheduling, implement the "green channel" policy for the transportation of fresh agricultural products, and ensure rapid transportation between regions. Expand the trading area of the terminal market, reduce and exempt booth fees and transaction fees, and reduce transaction costs. Large and medium-sized cities should pay more attention to the platform role of industry organizations and e-commerce enterprises, encourage circulation enterprises to moderately benefit the people, establish a community of interests with large producers, and promote the benign development of vegetable production and marketing.
Regarding the production and marketing of vegetables, the relevant departments have made a lot of efforts and provided first-class information, but at present, the degree of organization of farmers is low, and there is blindness in planting. Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that it is still necessary to organize farmers, set up professional associations and cooperatives, systematically understand the market, and adjust the scale of production according to climate change. In addition, it can also develop the deep processing industry to stabilize the fluctuations brought about by centralized listing. ”
"Vegetable basket" is the basic livelihood of the people.
Ensuring the supply and price of vegetables is a must-answer question.
Solve the problem of "expensive vegetables hurt the people, and cheap vegetables hurt farmers".
Make it affordable for the public to eat.
Farmers have income and can stabilize.
is a long-term task.
It takes a concerted effort of many parties.
