This winter, after the winter, the vegetables not only did not rise, but even sold at the price of "cabbage", which brought surprises to consumers. So, why is this anomaly happening in this year's winter vegetables?The following will analyze the reasons for the decline in the price of winter vegetables from three aspects: weather factors, increase in planting area and imbalance between supply and demand.
1. Weather factors
This year's autumn climate is suitable, the weather is generally warm, there is no autumn drought, the rainfall is balanced, the soil moisture is moderate, and the temperature does not fluctuate, which is very suitable for vegetable growth. Chinese cabbage, in particular, has increased its yield by up to 20% this year, which is a very rare vintage. Due to the warm temperature, the vegetables are in good growth condition, the pests and diseases are moderate, the quality is good, and the yield has increased significantly. Therefore, this is a big reason for the winter vegetables***.
2. Increase in planting area
Last year, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, white radish and other "road vegetables" were generally high, so this year's farmers' planting willingness is relatively strong, and the planting area in the northern cold vegetable producing areas such as Shandong, Jiangsu and other places has generally expanded. According to the data of the vegetable market analysis and early warning team of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, at the end of November this year, the planting area of vegetables in various fields increased by 1 compared with last year2%。With the increase in supply, the market has seen a continuous downward trend of vegetables**.
3. Imbalance between supply and demand
Under the influence of unfavorable weather in the early stage, the listing time of some vegetable producing areas was delayed, resulting in the relevant varieties of open-field vegetables and greenhouse vegetables being listed at the same time, making a large number of vegetable backlogs in the market. At the same time, the market demand is relatively stable, and these surplus vegetables cannot be sold in time, resulting in a supply far greater than the market demand, which in turn causes a large increase in vegetables. In some places, Chinese cabbage is difficult to sell and is unsalable. Therefore, the imbalance between supply and demand is one of the fundamental reasons for this year's winter vegetables.
In the context of this year's winter vegetables, whether to grow vegetables and make money has become a concern for vegetable farmers. In fact, due to the imbalance between supply and demand and the intensification of market competition, some vegetable farmers may find it difficult to obtain high profits and even lose money. However, for vegetable farmers with large planting scale and diverse product varieties, there are still opportunities to obtain certain profits through reasonable planting arrangements and market sales.
First of all, vegetable farmers can reasonably arrange the planting area and varieties according to the demand of the market. Through market research and understanding, some vegetable varieties with great market potential and relatively stable demand are selected for planting, which reduces the risk of oversupply in the market.
Secondly, vegetable farmers can strengthen the quality and brand building of their products. Through scientific planting technology and management, improve the yield and quality of vegetables, and strengthen brand promotion and sales channel expansion, enhance the added value and market competitiveness of products, so as to obtain better sales.
Thirdly, vegetable farmers can make joint sales through cooperatives or agricultural cooperatives. Through centralized procurement, unified sales and other ways, improve sales efficiency and product market competitiveness, so as to obtain more stable market income.
Finally, vegetable farmers can actively seek help and support. ** We can increase the support for agricultural industrialization, provide support for seedlings, agricultural materials, technology and market information, help vegetable farmers reduce production costs, improve market competitiveness, and ensure that they obtain reasonable benefits.
Summarizing the previous analysis, the main reasons for this year's winter vegetables include weather factors, increased planting area and imbalance between supply and demand. Due to the favorable weather this autumn, the production of Chinese cabbage and other vegetables has increased significantly, leading to an increase in market supply, and at the same time, the increase in planting area has also exacerbated the phenomenon of oversupply. When the market demand is relatively constant, the supply is much greater than the market demand, which will trigger a large increase in vegetables and make vegetables cheaper.
In addition, due to the unfavorable weather in the early stage, the market time of some vegetable producing areas was delayed, so that these vegetables were listed at the same time, which further exacerbated the market supply pressure. In order to quickly digest these backlogged vegetables, vegetable farmers have adopted the strategy of reducing prices, making vegetables **further**. Therefore, the reason why this year's winter vegetables** are so cheap can be said to be the result of an imbalance between supply and demand and poor marketing.
This year's winter vegetables have seen a significant increase, mainly due to weather factors, increased planting area and the imbalance between supply and demand. Whether vegetable farmers can make money by planting vegetables depends on the comprehensive effect of multiple factors such as planting scale, quality and brand building, sales cooperation and support. For consumers, winter vegetables*** mean a lower cost of buying vegetables and more convenient access to fresh and healthy vegetables. However, we should also pay attention to the income of vegetable farmers and the development of agricultural supply-side structural reform, and continue to provide support and attention for agricultural development and farmers' income.
