Farmers issued a document, the rise and fall of vegetable prices, although it is a normal market phenomenon, but the impact of **substantially** on farmers cannot be ignored at any time. It is worth thinking about how to avoid this kind of phenomenon of "cheap vegetables hurting farmers" from being staged again and again
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. According to the monitoring of Beijing Xinfadi Market, the wholesale price of Chinese cabbage in November was as low as two cents per catty, and the highest was only four cents and a half, and the decline in potatoes was as high as 30%, and cabbage and celery also fell to the lowest point in recent years. In the field, Chinese cabbage, radish and other vegetables are even more valuable, and they are only a few cents a catty, so that everyone has a clearer understanding of the "cabbage price".
This has to mention the disgraceful role played by middlemen, that is, second-hand dealers.
I don't know why, when I saw this news, my mind was full of this article I learned in junior high school, called "Overcharged Three or Five Buckets".
**Write that after the farmers in Jiangnan harvested an extra three or five buckets of one acre of land, they happily came to Wansheng Rice Store with rice in a boat, hoping to sell it at a good price and "breathe". But unexpectedly, the rice, which used to sell for up to 15 yuan a load, is now only 5 yuan a load. If it is shipped elsewhere to be sold, the bosses "negotiate with peers", the price is the same, and taxes must be paid along the way.My hometown is in the mountains, and the kind of houses are built in the mountains halfway up the mountain. However, there are a lot of peaches planted in the ground, and they are really big, thin-skinned, and have a lot of water, and the taste is excellent. But to what extent can wholesalers lower prices?The year I remember the most was because there was a section of the road** that suddenly decided to be repaired, and the traffic was not smooth (the construction of the road itself when the fruit was ripe is very debatable). The developer directly overwhelmed ** for 10 yuan and two baskets, not two catties, but two baskets. The basket looks something like this. At that time, local governments were encouraged to take a variety of measures to help farmers, such as setting up canneries, or purchasing them at a unified reserve price and then selling them in a centralized manner. But to be honest, to this day, we still rely on the farmers to find their own channels, and we have not intervened.The peasants had no choice but to sell at a low price. But the rice of the white flowers was not exchanged for the white flowers, but a piece of banknotes. When the farmers asked for foreign money, the boss threatened to "eat lawsuits". In desperation, they came out into the street disappointed. Originally, in addition to buying daily necessities, I also had to rip cloth to buy water bottles and the like, but now, the money in the bag has to be replenished to pay off other people's loans.
The old felt hat friends made a heart, in addition to buying a little soap, foreign oil, etc., in moderation, simply sold wine to relieve their sorrows, and started to complain. After discussing that there was no way out for escaping the famine and working, they raised the question of "who do we plant for every year", and germinated a sense of resistance to "grabbing rice". However, due to the lack of leadership, the flame of their resistance failed to form a revolutionary flame. When they returned home, some of them took the rice they ate, sold their cattle, or borrowed money to pay rentSome came forward and were held in detention centers;Some indulge in gambling halls, hoping that the domino dice will have a spirit and save their fate;Others even went into exile.
* is too high or too low, behind the failure of market regulation. The extremely low price of cabbage is one thing, and the sky-high price of Chinese herbal medicine this year is another. If the middlemen are not controlled, and they implement the so-called ** alliance, for the peasants, it is really a drama of prosperity, the people suffering, dying, and the people suffering.
In recent years, the first has also begun to pay attention to this aspect, and implement the concentrated action of consumption assistance to help farmers increase income. From December 2022 to February 2023, the National Rural Revitalization Administration mobilized 22 provinces in the central and western regions, the eastern cooperation area, relevant first-class designated assistance units and e-commerce platform enterprises to carry out the "Concentrated Action of Consumption Assistance to Help Farmers Increase Income". According to statistics, during the concentrated action, a total of 372 agricultural products were sold in poverty alleviation areas in the central and western regions30,000 tons, with sales of more than 90 billion yuan. Among them, the eastern cooperation area, the relevant first-class designated assistance units and e-commerce platform enterprises respectively helped sell 83 agricultural products in poverty alleviation areas500 million yuan, 23300 million yuan and 62500 million yuan.
This is the retail price of the farmers' market in Nanjing that I just saw in Meituan, and it is still 1 after a 5% discount9 yuan per catty. The transportation between Nanjing and Shandong is still relatively convenient, Shandong has not considered helping farmers sell cabbage to Nanjing, and at the same time helping our Nanjing residents to beat the cabbage down to achieve a win-win situation.
