The price of autumn fruit is lower than that of last year.

With the large number of seasonal fruits on the market in autumn, fruit prices have fallen sharply. On September 8, the price monitoring center found that compared with the same period last year, 60% of fruit prices generally decreased.

The survey found that in the same period last year, the average price of crown pear was 5.74 yuan per jin, and now 2.64 yuan per jin, down 53.99 percent; the average price of dragon fruit is 5.19 yuan per unit, and now 3.03 yuan per unit, down 41.74 percent. The main reason for the reduction in fruit prices is that the major fruit producing areas across the country have ushered in a bumper harvest, and the amount of fruit planted in some areas has increased.

Due to the differences in fruit origin, quality and supermarket purchase channels, the prices of a few varieties vary greatly, such as snow lotus fruit, Gali fruit, red snake fruit, green snake fruit, mangosteen, red rose, longan, etc., among which the price of red snake fruit is the most disparate. The price of Zhongbai supermarket is 19.8 yuan per jin, while Yas supermarket sells only 9.9 yuan per jin, which is nearly 10 yuan cheaper per jin. Snow lotus fruits in Wushang Square, Zhongbai Public supermarket and Yas supermarket all sell for about 4.8 yuan per jin, while Wal-Mart sells for as much as 12.8 yuan per jin. When choosing and buying fruits, citizens should not only compare prices, but also pay attention to the origin and quality of fruits.

In addition, according to previous years' experience, it is the most affordable stage to buy autumn fruit. It is expected that fruit prices will show an upward trend when the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are approaching.
