To solve the problem of "cheap vegetables hurting farmers", we can't just rely on "providing charcoal in the snow"

In some vegetable producing areas in Jinzhong, Shanxi Province, a large number of fennel white has fallen into unsalable market, and no one cares about one dime per kilogram, and the hard work of many vegetable farmers for a year has come to nothing. The reporter learned that planting an acre of fennel white, including seeds, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, plastic film, irrigation, etc., costs about 700 yuan. The output per mu is about 4000 kg, and the purchase price is 0.08 yuan per kilogram. When all the vegetables are sold, the income per mu is only 320 yuan, which is not even enough for the labor cost of collecting and selling vegetables. As a result, many vegetable farmers give up harvesting, and patches of fennel rot in the field.

Industry insiders believe that the main reason for the low price of fennel white lies in the dislocation between the production decisions of vegetable farmers and the "invisible hand" of the market: at present, vegetable farmers basically engage in production and touch the market in a single house. therefore, its production scale is small, the production cost is high, the feedback market information is weak, and the ability to cope with the market is poor. Due to the lack of judgment on market risk, vegetable farmers often decide the scale of planting next year based on last year's vegetable prices, which is easy to pile up and cause prices to rise and fall sharply.

In order to help vegetable farmers meet their urgent needs, many caring people in Taiyuan, through Weibo and Wechat, call on ordinary citizens, major enterprises and schools to take the initiative to contact to buy fennel white, and government departments are also actively helping vegetable farmers find markets and markets. At present, with the joint efforts of the whole society, the unsalable situation of fennel white in Jinzhong area has been alleviated to a certain extent, but because of missing the opportunity of harvest, many fennel white can not be eaten, and vegetable farmers have suffered losses.

The subscription of caring enterprises and citizens is undoubtedly timely help to vegetable farmers. However, such a measure can solve the immediate needs of vegetable farmers, but it is difficult to solve the long-standing difficulties, unable to put an end to the phenomenon that "cheap vegetables hurt farmers" again. Industry insiders suggest that in addition to providing protection policies, relevant departments should give more guidance information, reduce production uncertainty caused by information asymmetry, and issue early warning to vegetable farmers when necessary to minimize losses. At the same time, it is necessary to improve the level of vegetable industry, improve the docking of production and marketing, improve the value-added level of storage and processing, and enhance the ability of fennel white cultivation and even vegetable industry to resist the dual risks of nature and market.
