Holidays have passed the price of strong vegetable prices but also "fly" for a while

The Spring Festival has passed, but the price of vegetables remains strong. At 8 o'clock on January 29th, when Liu Mingang, who lives at Yangming Road in Nanchang City, went to the Dungutang vegetable market to buy vegetables, some leafy vegetables were much more expensive than before. He said: "The price of Chinese cabbage has risen from 0.8 yuan per kilogram to about 1.2 yuan." Nanchang Shenzhen Agricultural Products Center wholesale market staff said that during the Spring Festival, the price of leafy vegetables showed upward trend. Although the holidays have passed, but the price is firm, it seems that the price of vegetables will have to "fly" for a while.

After the holiday season, the price of vegetables is still strong. During the Spring Festival, the price of vegetables in Nanchang continues to follow the practice of “every Spring Festival will rise”. On the 29th, the reporter collected the prices of some leafy vegetables at the Nanchang Shenzhen Agricultural Product Center wholesale market: 1.6 yuan per kilogram of cabbage, 5.6 yuan per kilogram of Shanghai Blue, and 11 yuan per kilogram of green beans. The prices of the above vegetables were 1.2 yuan/kg, 4.4 yuan/kg and 8 yuan/kg respectively. The increase in the prices of other vegetables was also evident, with some leafy vegetables even exceeding 80%.

At Dun Tau Tong Vegetable Market, a citizen who is buying vegetables said that he had prepared a lot of vegetables years ago. Today, he suddenly came to a few friends and the prepared food was almost enough, so he had to buy some vegetables at the farmers’ market. Found that the price of vegetables is relatively high. Fortunately, many dishes were prepared before the Spring Festival. During the Spring Festival, the price of vegetables was too expensive. Artemisia halodendron from Nanjing rose from RMB 10/kg before the holiday to RMB 13/kg.

A stall owner at Dungutang Vegetable Market said that during the Spring Festival, many vegetables were in short supply and the wholesale price went up. Therefore, the retail price also followed up. Many vegetable vendors had to postpone the show after the holiday season, and there were fewer people selling vegetables. To be higher.

During the Spring Festival of the Rabbit, the price of vegetables also rose a lot more than usual. Going back, the same goes.

Supply reduction is the main reason In fact, in order to ensure the supply and demand of the consumer goods market during the Spring Festival in Nanchang, relevant departments in Nanchang made full preparations for the supply of vegetables during the Spring Festival. In winter, the planting area of ​​vegetables in Nanchang City is 260,000 mu. The supply of locally grown vegetables is stable at more than 65% of the market demand, and it ranks among the medium and large cities in the country.

So, why are the prices of vegetables still rising during the Spring Festival?

In this regard, some vegetable business households analyze that every year before and after the Spring Festival, due to the relationship between supply and demand, vegetable prices will rise significantly. Over time, this seems to be a common practice and has caused many vegetable operators to have higher expectations of the Spring Festival market. Before this year's holiday, although the government introduced a preferential policy to exempt value-added tax for vegetable circulation, the supply and demand of vegetables and the expectation of the vegetable business households for the Spring Festival have not fundamentally changed. Therefore, the price of vegetables will rise during the Spring Festival this year. .

Ma Zhihui, director of the Institute of Economic Research of the Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, believes that during the Spring Festival, the seasonal vegetable market is already small, and the demand for vegetables during the holiday period will increase. Vegetable prices will inevitably rise. Secondly, during the Spring Festival, most of the vegetables in Nanchang come from other provinces. During the holiday season, the cost of logistics links is relatively high, which is also the main factor in the rise of vegetable prices. Secondly, during the Spring Festival, a large amount of rain and snow weather occurred in the south. Coupled with the fact that outsiders had to go home for New Year's Day, the decrease in supply also contributed to the rise in vegetable prices.

The staff of the relevant departments in Nanchang analyzed that the Spring Festival is a special period, and the price increase is a normal behavior. It is estimated that the price of vegetables will generally return to normal level after the Lantern Festival.
