Why is strawberry ** almost "cut in half"?
What about the future of strawberries**?
So, why is strawberry's ** "big dive"? "When the weather is warm, the strawberries grow very fast, they ripen one by one, and they can be much red in one night, and they are too late to pick them. The price of origin has been reduced, and the wholesale and retail sides have also been reduced accordingly. Wang Liang (pseudonym), who specializes in strawberry wholesale at Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, told reporters.
Li Chunding, a professor at the School of Economics and Management of China Agricultural University and director of the Institute of International Economics, said that the main reason for the large appearance of strawberries this year is that the market supply has been greatly improved. In the past, the out-of-season strawberry itself was a best-selling product in winter, and due to the high quality, it also stimulated growers to increase the planting of strawberries, which made the overall strawberry yield this year greatly improved. With the continuous improvement of strawberry planting technology, the unit planting yield has increased to a certain extent, so it has also increased the largest amount of strawberry market. At the same time, the overall supply of fruits in the current market has increased greatly, and this will actually have a substitution and supplement effect on the demand for strawberries, which will make strawberries decline to a certain extent.
According to the "Research Report on the Development Trend Analysis and Investment Prospects of China's Strawberry Industry (2022-2029)", China's strawberry production scale ranks first in the world, accounting for more than one-third of the world's total strawberry production. Strawberry production is also climbing year after year, from 200 in 202190,000 tons, an increase to 368 in 2021250,000 tons, strawberry production in 2023 will increase by about 30% compared to 2022. It is precisely because of the exponentially expanded planting area and the vigorous growth of production that the objective law of "scarcity is expensive" has been broken, and the seller's market has become a buyer's market, and it has also ushered in.

So, how will the development of strawberries in the future?
Strawberries are fresh goods, and they may change their prices in a day or two due to various factors such as shipments, demand, and climate. Many merchants said that ** will not rise, and it will basically get cheaper and cheaper later.
Ma Tingdong, president of the Strawberry Association of Donggang City, Liaoning Province, said that with the cost of seedlings, labor, fertilizer, etc., the strawberry ** is declining, and the pressure on the planting end is the greatest. With the price of strawberries dropping, the merchant is also continuing to decline, in order to maintain competitiveness, can only squeeze profit margins, and even appear inverted, that is, the receipt is higher than the sales. After a certain stage of decline, between March and May, strawberries** will basically be stable.

Why do washed strawberries fade?
Strawberries are sweet and sour, and sometimes lose their color when they are washed. If the water used to soak the strawberries turns red, does it mean that the strawberries are dyed?
Song Yi, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University, said that strawberries lose color when washed because the skin is damaged, and it is normal for the anthocyanins rich in the peel to penetrate into the water.
The red color of strawberries comes from the accumulation of anthocyanins in the vacuoles of strawberry cells, due to the different anthocyanin content, strawberries will show obvious color changes, the more anthocyanins, the redder the strawberry. Anthocyanins are natural pigments, which are harmless to the human body and have high nutritional value. This substance is found in almost all brightly colored fruits, such as mulberries, bayberry, etc.
Anthocyanins themselves are soluble in water. If the surface of the strawberry is not damaged, the color will generally not fade when washing. If the epidermal tissue of the strawberry is pinched or rubbed during washing, the anthocyanins in it will dissolve in the water, and the water will turn red. Therefore, the fact that the strawberry fades after washing does not mean that it is dyed, and consumers do not need to worry too much about it.
So, how do we properly wash strawberries?
First, rinse the strawberries under running water to remove dust from the surface.
Then, soak in water, lightly salted water, or baking soda solution for 5 minutes.
Finally, make another shower and you can eat it with confidence.
Important: Don't pick the strawberry stalk before washing! Studies have shown that washing strawberries without removing them is cleaner and more hygienic than removing them and washing them.
