Just after the Lantern Festival, the topic of "strawberry ** big dive" rushed to the hot search on Weibo, with more than 300 million views.
Before the holiday, strawberries that cost dozens of yuan a pound at every turn, why did they suddenly drop sharply? In this regard, a reporter from China's ** newspaper found that the sharp decline in strawberries in a number of strawberry wholesale and retail markets in Beijing was indeed true. "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.
It's red everywhere.
At 9 o'clock in the morning of February 25, the reporter saw in the boutique fruit trading area of Xinfadi Market in Beijing that many varieties of strawberries, including Liaoning Dandong strawberry, Beijing Hongyan strawberry, Shandong Qingdao cream strawberry, were piled up on the ground in boxes, red everywhere, very gratifying.

Strawberries are sold very quickly, basically 3 boxes, 4 boxes of ground take, and 180 boxes can be sold in one morning. A box is about a catty, a box of high-quality cream strawberries is about 100 yuan, and Dandong strawberries are 150 yuan to 200 yuan a box. Compared with before the holiday, it is half cheaper. During the visit, a number of strawberry wholesalers told reporters.
Two days ago, the cream strawberries in Shandong and Anhui dropped to 8 yuan a catty, and the snow in the origin of the land in the past two days has been blocked, and the picking and transportation have been blocked, and the price has risen by a few yuan, but even if it rises, it is half cheaper than the previous year. Wang Liang told a reporter from China ** Daily.
There are also a number of wholesalers told reporters that the best selling strawberries are now in Dandong, Liaoning, which are more than 20 yuan a catty, and before the Spring Festival, they have to be sold for 50 or 60 yuan a catty, which has been "cut in half".
Subsequently, the reporter came to Wumart, Yonghui and other supermarkets. Here, the reporter found that the retail price of Dandong strawberries dropped to 20 yuan to 25 yuan a catty, and cream strawberries and red strawberries were generally reduced to more than ten yuan a catty.
In some supermarkets specializing in selling fruits, the reporter found that the signboard of strawberry discount ** was placed in the most conspicuous position. "Cream strawberries are shipped from Qingdao, 20 yuan a catty, more than two catties can go wholesale price, 5 yuan per catty can be cheaper, the more you buy, the cheaper. The strawberry shelf life is only a few days, and a lot of goods were stocked up before the Lantern Festival, and now they have to be disposed of as soon as possible. A fruit supermarket retail staff told reporters.
On the Internet, many consumers also reported that the price of strawberries has been reduced. For example, in Sam's Club, the price of 1 kilogram of strawberries is 79 this year9 yuan, and the price of this strawberry in previous years was close to 90 yuan.
Special varieties ** strong.
At the same time as the price of conventional strawberries was reduced, the reporter also found that new varieties of strawberries and high-quality strawberries aimed at consumers' psychology of trying and selecting the best.
Snow White costs 80 yuan a box, less than 2 catties, although it is expensive, it sells very well. After eating red strawberries, I want to taste the taste of this white strawberry, and some people also buy it at a high point. Xinfadi fruit wholesaler told a reporter from China** Daily.

The reporter saw in Baiguoyuan and other brand fruit supermarkets that high-quality strawberries still reached about 50 yuan.

Zhang Ming (pseudonym), a farmer engaged in the cultivation of high-quality strawberries in Dandong, told reporters frankly that the real high-quality strawberries in Dandong are different from ordinary strawberries from the beginning of seedlings. Grind soy milk for strawberries, turn on the air conditioner, listen....These methods are already very common in Dandong's fine strawberry planting circle. In order to grow strawberries in a variety of ways, each family also has its own cheats. This is to bring the best quality strawberries to the market during the Spring Festival. "The best strawberries grown locally can be sold for two or three hundred yuan a catty, and if they are particularly good, they can be exported by the grain, and each catty can be as high as thousands of yuan. But if you don't step on the time and go public after the Spring Festival, you will basically lose money. Strawberries are basically 'cut in half' after the Spring Festival. In another month, the strawberries will be off the market, and the texture and taste are far from the same as during the Spring Festival. Zhang Ming told reporters. (China ** Daily).
