It is difficult to solve the loss, and the traders have reduced the price and caused losses, and the output of the home that cannot be sold is high
Preface. Farmer Zhang San was originally a very famous leek grower, but because of the large price of green onions this year, his life was not easy. Faced with a deserted green field, he had to find another way to survive. After learning about the new tomato varieties that the Ministry of Agriculture is vigorously promoting, Zhang San decided to switch to growing tomatoes in order to achieve profitability. This paper mainly focuses on the reasons for the imbalance between supply and demand of onions, Zhang San's consideration of turning tomatoes, and discusses in detail the favorable conditions for tomato cultivation.
1. Analysis of the causes of the imbalance in the green onion market.
In the past year, due to the increase in the price of green onions, many farmers have begun to plant or change varieties on a large scale, resulting in a shortage of green onions this year, and ** plummeted. In particular, some peasants who have just entered agriculture have caused a shortage of agricultural products and a shortage of prices due to blind expansion. In addition, the poor market circulation is also the main reason for the continued decline of the onion market.
In this document, it is mentioned that the sown area of green onions has increased by two percent. This is largely due to the fact that in the past period of time, there have been large numbers of local onions, and many farmers have begun to plant or replant onions when they hear the rumors. Among them, small and medium-sized farmers are the mainstay, the sales channels are unstable, and the market demand is not sufficiently considered when the varieties are expanded or changed, resulting in a serious oversupply of onions.
The traditional peasants, represented by Zhang San, suffered huge losses due to their cheap goods. This shows that the fundamental reason for the sharp decline in onion prices this year is that due to a large number of "expansion and replanting" behaviors, the price of onion has been oversupplied, resulting in the continuous decline of onion prices.
2. Thoughts on Zhang San's conversion to tomatoes.
Zhang San is facing losses, and he is determined to find another way to make a living. After learning about the new tomato variety through the county agriculture department, he saw a glimmer of light. The product of this new variety is good in terms of quality and quantity, and it has also been agreed by the buyer. Zhang San sees this as an opportunity for a change, and he wants to change tomatoes to tomatoes in order to make a profit.
1) Switching to tomatoes diversifies the risks of agricultural products. The imbalance in the onion market made Zhang San realize that the danger of relying too much on one crop is very great. In addition, planting tomatoes can reduce the risk of planting, and *** of one crop will also *** others, so that the income of farmers will be balanced.
2) Tomatoes are relatively easy to grow and manage. Compared to onions, tomatoes are easier to cultivate. As long as Zhang San pours him some fertilizer and water on time, he can get a good harvest. In this way, the workload of workers can be reduced, and the knowledge of agricultural production and marketing can be concentrated.
3) The contract signed with the target party guarantees the sales of the product. Zhang San learned that after planting tomatoes, he would make a deal with an acquisition company that promised to buy no less than 25 kg. In this way, Zhang San's ** is guaranteed and the impact on his profits is reduced.
3. Advantages of tomato cultivation.
The advantages of tomatoes, an ordinary vegetable, are obvious, so Zhang San will turn to growing tomatoes.
1) There is a high market demand. As an ordinary daily food, tomato has a large demand in daily life and the catering industry. In addition, as more and more people seek better food, there is a growing demand for fresh vegetables.
2) Prices are relatively stable. Compared with other agricultural products such as onions, tomatoes are relatively stable. Despite some ups and downs, those farmers who are smaller have more stable returns and less risk.
3) The technical threshold of this method is relatively low. Tomatoes are much less difficult to grow than other crops, which is also a good thing for beginners. At the same time, it has also brought more development opportunities to Zhang San and other farmers.
Conclusion. 
This year's onion market is unbalanced, largely due to the over-cultivation and shift of some farmers to planting, resulting in an oversupply in the market. In the face of losses, Zhang San chose to plant tomatoes, which is due to the large market demand for tomatoes, which is stable, and the requirements for planting and management are relatively simple. Zhang San thought that by planting tomatoes, he could turn losses into profits and embark on a road of no return. Other farmers facing the same predicament can also try to convert crops to more stable market needs, thereby reducing agricultural risks and increasing incomes.
