How to deal with the decline in the price of Chinese cabbage by four percent year on year

Editor's note: as the saying goes, "the Beginning of Winter's radish, Lesser Snow's dish." At present, many areas in northern China have entered the large-scale listing period of Chinese cabbage. Compared with last year, the price of Chinese cabbage has dropped in many places this year, with a drop of nearly 40% in some places. What are the reasons for the decline in the price of Chinese cabbage this year, what is the income of vegetable farmers, and what are the ideas to avoid "twists and turns" and ups and downs in vegetable prices? Our reporter sent back a report from Shandong and Liaoning, focusing on the local cabbage market. This edition also invites experts from Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market to analyze it from the perspective of "Great Circulation", hoping to inspire readers to think.

Liaoning: the price of stored cabbage on the market in Cuofeng rose slightly.

Autumn cabbage has been on the market for some time. On November 10, when the reporter was interviewing in Xichuazi Village, Huangniwa Town, Liaoyang County, Liaoning Province, it happened that the local professional vegetable growing cooperatives were collecting a large number of vegetables. Director Yin Youying said: "our cooperative has ordered more than 3000 mu of vegetables, with a minimum of 1100 yuan per mu, mainly for shipment to Guangzhou." Now we have to collect 30 or 40 mu a day, and a total of 5000 mu, or 30 cents a jin, will be collected in a row. "

The Wu Bo family in Xichazi Village planted more than ten mu of cabbage. His family's food was sold some time ago, with 1500 yuan per mu of land. "if it were sold now, it would not be so high, and the income of one mu of land would be reduced by two to three hundred yuan."

This harvest season, Yin Youying collected a total of about 10,000 tons, but also stored seven to eight million tons, looking forward to selling at a good price in winter. Driven by professional cooperatives for profitable vegetable cultivation, Huangniwa Town and its surrounding five townships grow 40,000 mu of cabbage. Yin Youying said: "in the later period, the price dropped a lot, but the quantity was not much. In the end, there were 1000 mu, and 1000 yuan per mu was spent. In the end, the final harvest of several hundred mu or even only 500 yuan was spent. Finally, the catty collected in the later period had to reach 20 cents."

Shenyang is not only the main producing area of Chinese cabbage in Liaoning, but also the largest selling area. Wang Hongye, deputy director of the planting Department of the Shenyang Municipal Commission of Agriculture, said that 300000 mu of Chinese cabbage has been planted in Shenyang, with a total output of about 1.5 million tons. This year's output is quite good, the previous section has been basically sold out, and the price this year is lower than that of last year.

The planting area of Chinese cabbage in Xinmin City accounts for more than half of Shenyang. The reporter learned from the Rural Economic Bureau of Xinmin City that the planting area of Xinmin Chinese cabbage is 173400 mu this year, and the price is lower, with an average of 20 cents per jin. However, because the impact of this year's drought has increased the planting costs of farmers, the amount of money for watering an mu of land plus labor money will increase by 300 yuan to 500 yuan, and the actual income per mu will only be a few hundred yuan.

Damintun Town focuses on the development of vegetable industry, and has formed a development pattern of "one township, one industry" with vegetables as the leading industry. The vegetable area of the town has reached more than 90,000 mu, including 30,000 mu of Chinese cabbage. Damintun Town invigorates circulation with the market, and in recent years, Damintun Agricultural products Logistics Center has been built, with an annual transaction volume of more than 200 million yuan, which is quite famous in the Northeast and even the whole country.

He Lixing, president of Shenyang vegetable Circulation Association, told reporters: "cabbages from the surrounding and even Heilongjiang areas are brought to Damintun for sale. At the beginning of the market can sell 0.35 yuan / jin, with the increase in the volume of the market, the price is also declining, the lowest is also 0.15 yuan 0.18 yuan / jin. More than 1 billion jin of cabbages are exported through Damintun. "

He Lixing said: last year, the price of cabbage was relatively high, and this year, the area of growing cabbage will increase a lot, and the price will naturally fall if the quantity is large. According to this year's prices, the planting area of cabbage may be reduced next year, and the price of cabbage will rise. According to his estimation, when cabbage is sold for seven or eight cents a jin, farmers will not lose money.

"the price of cabbage in Shenyang is relatively better this year, also because the local cabbage industry chain has been formed, and there have been many deep processing enterprises. After the centralized listing, what is now sold in the Damintun market is stored cabbage, which costs 30 cents a jin. " On November 21, he Lixing told reporters by telephone.

There are no specific statistics on the planting area of cabbage in Liaoning province. it is understood that the planting area of vegetables in the province last year was 12.46 million mu, which is basically the same this year.

The price of ordinary cabbage fell by 40% compared with the same period last year.

"Tang King Chinese Cabbage" gets out of its predicament through Brand

Farmers in Kangjiazhuang Village, Tangwang Town, Licheng District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, have been growing Chinese cabbage for more than 20 years. This year, his family planted 1 mu of Chinese cabbage. "it's a really bad price this year. When you sell it to a dealer in the market, it's only 14 cents a kilo, and it's a big pick."

For the same kind of cabbage, Chen Lihou, director of the Hongsheng Yugua vegetable Professional Cooperative, did not look sad: "our 60-mu base joined the Tang King Chinese Cabbage Association, and 20 mu signed a contract with the supermarket in Beijing when it was growing. 50 cents per jin for a unit price. The remaining 40 mu was almost ordered at the order meeting a few days ago. "

Fan Qingde, director of the Licheng District Agriculture Bureau, said that since November, the price of Chinese cabbage has been falling all the way, and now it has fallen by 40% compared with the same period last year. Through the efforts in recent years, Tang Wang Chinese cabbage is not only not difficult to sell, many growers borrow the brand to get rid of difficulties. Sufficient supply and falling demand

Chen Lihou said that the price of Chinese cabbage was high last year, and this year, many families in the village have expanded their area. In addition, the climatic conditions in the second half of this year are very conducive to the growth of Chinese cabbage, and the yield per mu has generally reached 8,000 to 9,000 jin, an increase of about 20% over last year.

"the planting area of cabbage has been expanded, the yield per unit area has increased, and the supply is adequate, resulting in an oversupply of cabbage." Gao Zhongqiang, a researcher at Shandong Agricultural Technology extension Station, said. At the same time, as the climatic conditions are conducive to the growth of vegetables this year, there are many kinds and sufficient supply of vegetables on the market, resulting in generally low prices of vegetables. "in particular, the price of leafy vegetables has been running low this year, and Chinese cabbage is no exception."

Han Huiping, market manager of Han Xi in Tangwang Town, said that in recent years, with the expansion of the area of vegetables in facilities, there are all kinds of vegetables in winter, and the demand for winter storage of Chinese cabbage is also declining year by year.
