Recently, under the influence of strong cold air, Wuhan City has experienced a cold wave to cool down the weather, and the "quick freezing mode" has been opened. So, the temperature plummeted, has the "vegetable basket" in everyone's hands been affected?Today, the reporter visited the Baishazhou agricultural and sideline products market in Wuhan and found that the current reserves of various vegetables are sufficient, and the overall vegetable price has not changed much.
In the morning, in the Wuhan Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market, the wholesale merchants were busy sorting out and summarizing the fresh vegetables that had just arrived today, and the stalls had all kinds of vegetables such as cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, green onions, etc., and the quantity was sufficient. Boss Sun, a vendor, told reporters that although the temperature has dropped now, the price of vegetables has not followed.
Wholesaler Boss Sun: "* It's still relatively stable now, the beetroot sprouts are a little more undulating, and everything else is relatively stable." The wholesale price of bok choy is 11 yuan catty, Suzhou green wholesale price 08 yuan catty, the wholesale price of cabbage sprouts is 15 yuan catty, beetroot 2 yuan catty. Everything else is a few cents to 12 yuan between catties. ”
Zhang Rongsheng, Wuhan Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market Operation Department, said that since the beginning of winter, the country's vegetables have been relatively sluggish, mainly because the overall weather in autumn this year is warm, the wind and rain are smooth, and the yield of vegetables in the country has increased significantly. In particular, Chinese cabbage, radish and other winter storage vegetables are concentrated on the market, resulting in a phased oversupply of price reductions. Although the recent cold wave has hit and the sales of vegetables have been substantial, the price of vegetables has remained stable due to the sufficient quantity.
Zhang Rongsheng, Operation Department of Wuhan Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market: "Qingpi radish, a product of Hubei Province, radish is now only sold to 05 yuan catty. The yellow-hearted potatoes in Inner Mongolia are now the best time and the most ripe time. The fried hot and sour shredded potatoes are very crispy, and the potatoes are now very cheap and sell 15 yuan catty. Because this thing is durable, it has a long storage time. If it is well preserved, it will be possible until the beginning of spring next year. ”
The biggest impact of this cold wave is the flow of customers in the market. Because, everyone looks at the weather forecast, and the number of people who come to the market to buy vegetables has increased a lot in the past two days. Among them, the best sales are still radishes, cabbage, potatoes and other shelf-stable vegetables.
Zhang Rongsheng, Operation Department of Wuhan Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market: "Because the temperature is low, people eat more hot pot. In particular, red and white radish is in the form of meat and vegetables in hot pot. It's going to sell more. ”
The reporter learned that the Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market, as the largest "vegetable basket" in Wuhan, accounts for about 70% of the city's daily vegetable turnover. At the end of December every year, in order to ensure the stability of the public's "vegetable basket", the "winter storage and spring supply" project will be launched. However, although Wuhan has recently opened the "quick-freezing" mode, due to the abundance of vegetables, the "winter storage and spring supply" project has not been started in advance.
Zhang Rongsheng, Operation Department of Wuhan Baishazhou Agricultural and Sideline Products Market: "Our winter storage here is only when the temperature is close to about 0 degrees, and we have to start winter storage. In previous years, it normally opens at the end of December. The main reason is to protect the entire Wuhan market, in order to stabilize prices, these two main reasons. ”
