Vegetable prices have plummeted this winter, and we need to be vigilant against damaging the interests of farmers
Problems and causes caused by vegetables***.
This winter's vegetables** have dropped significantly. Seasonal vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, and potatoes are on the market in large quantities in the northern region, resulting in a large increase in the market and a sharp decline. The main reason for this is the increase in production. This autumn and winter temperature is higher, which is conducive to the growth of vegetables in the north, and the temperature has not dropped significantly after winter. In addition, this summer, North China suffered from floods, in order to reduce losses, many farmers temporarily replanted easy-to-grow plants, well-managed Chinese cabbage, radish, etc., also made the vegetable planting area in North China surplus.
The rationality of the decline in vegetables and the change in market demand.
From a market point of view, the decline in vegetables is reasonable to a certain extent. In recent years, the planting area of vegetables in China has continued to increase. With the improvement of vegetable production level, the varieties are constantly enriched, the output is continuously improved, and the total amount of vegetables is gradually increasing. This provides the public with a more diverse range of consumption options, but at the same time it weakens people's spending power. Market demand is limited, and the increase in the field of production leads to a decrease. Therefore, we have to give the market some patience.
Although the current vegetable ** is still at a low level, as the temperature continues to drop, the outdoor vegetables in the north are gradually withdrawn from the market, and the market ** is transferred to the south vegetables and the vegetables in the northern facilities. With the increase in planting and transportation costs, vegetables will be gradually. The upcoming New Year's Day and Spring Festival will also further increase the demand for vegetables and push up vegetables. At the same time, the changes at the end of the sales link will be quickly transmitted to all aspects of the production process, mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers, adjust the production of the next crop of vegetables in a timely manner, and make the vegetables return to normal.
Needs attention"Vegetables hurt farmers"Issue.
The impact of vegetables on farmers cannot be ignored. According to reports, some vegetables were sold at low prices, and even discarded in the field, and farmers had no choice but to throw the vegetables directly into the field and return to the field. Gardening is an important source of income for some people who work in agriculture**, so the impact of a season's loss of vegetables on them is obvious. Therefore, we need to think about how to avoid it"Vegetables hurt farmers"A repetition of the phenomenon.
The importance of changes on the demand side.
The ** of vegetables is not only affected by yield factors, but also related to the comprehensive effect of various factors such as consumption Xi and market expectations. With the addition of modern transportation logistics and mature planting technology, consumers can buy cabbage and other vegetables at any time of the year, the demand for winter cabbage in the market is greatly reduced, and people's consumption concepts are more rational. In addition, agricultural products are affected by uncertain factors such as climate change and natural disasters, and it is more difficult to move forward. The volatility of agricultural products is not only affected by the production side, but also closely related to the needs and preferences of consumers. Therefore, more attention needs to be paid to changes on the demand side.
* and the role of start-up entrepreneurs.
To prevent it from appearing"Vegetables hurt farmers"We must play a role in strengthening the regulation and supervision of the agricultural product market. It can provide a scientific basis for decision-making, reduce the blindness of planting, and speed up the construction of cold chain logistics facilities for storage and preservation, so as to promote the staggered listing and balance of agricultural products, and prevent vegetables from being sold cheaply. When the market is in a downturn, it can strengthen the docking of production and marketing, help farmers broaden sales channels, and improve circulation efficiency.
At the same time, new business entities such as leading agricultural enterprises and farmers' cooperatives can also play an active role. They can establish contact with small enterprises, guide small enterprises to carry out standardized production, and use their own advantages to directly connect with supermarkets, communities and other sales terminals, reduce intermediate circulation links, and help farmers improve the initiative in pricing.
Finally, in order to help farmers cope with the impact of vegetable prices, various localities have also taken a series of measures, such as finding out the situation of unsalable vegetables, strengthening ties with the wholesale market, and organizing the supply of goods directly in the field, so as to alleviate the problem of farmers' difficulty in selling vegetables.
In short, the rise and fall of vegetable prices is a normal market phenomenon, but the impact on farmers and the development of the agricultural industry cannot be ignored. In order to prevent"Vegetables hurt farmers"The occurrence of the phenomenon requires the change of the demand side to attract the attention of the first generation, and also requires new enterprises to play a role and work together to solve the problem of fluctuations in agricultural products.
