There is a bumper harvest of grapes in many parts of the country, but demand is weak.

Autumn is coming, and all over the country is a good season for all kinds of grapes to appear on the market and reward people's taste buds. At this time in the last two years, grape growers smiled from ear to ear because of the "bumper yield and bumper harvest". However, this year, the grape market across the country has encountered Waterloo, Shaanxi, Henan, Gansu and other places "bumper but not bumper harvest". A large number of grapes have no market after ripening, and many grapes are rotten in the fields because they cannot be picked in time, resulting in great losses to fruit growers.

What is the reason why the once lucrative grape growing industry has become a nightmare for fruit farmers this year? Is it necessary to contradict high output and large sales?

"when I went to the northeast and southern Liaoning in 2010, there was such a problem in his Jufeng that year. The weather in that year was about the same as this year, and the expected precipitation was less, so the yield of grapes was relatively high. In that year, the grapes in Jufeng were less than one yuan per jin."

This is a memory of Shang Jianyin, deputy director of the Grape Center of Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, when interviewed by reporters. At that time, because of the large output of grapes in the north-east and south of Liaoning Province, they encountered the embarrassment of low price and unsalable price. Four years later, this dilemma is once again in front of grape growers.

In Gucheng Village, Yanshi City, Henan Province, Wang Canhui, a 21-year-old man, quit his job in Shanghai two years ago and returned to his hometown in Henan to contract 40 mu of land with his father and began to grow Jufeng grapes. This year, the carefully taken care of the grapes finally ushered in the first hanging fruit, but waiting for Wang Canhui is the embarrassment of not being able to harvest.

Wang Canhui: "I got a total of more than 30,000 jin in the first year, but now I've only sold 5,000 or 6,000 jin." It has been cloudy and rainy for about seven or eight consecutive days in the past few days, but now more than 20,000 jin of fruit is still in the ground, and some of them have rotted away. "

The grapes so rotten in the field, so that growers sigh unceasingly, but also let bystanders feel sorry. According to last year's market, grapes can earn about 10,000 yuan per mu. This year, however, Wang Canhui made no profit but lost money.

Wang Canhui: "about four or 500000 yuan has been invested since planting at that time." Now the total income is only more than 40,000 yuan. If you add in the early investment, you will lose a total of $30,000 to $400000. "

According to the reporter's understanding, Wang Canhui's situation is not alone. In many areas of the country, large quantities of unsalable goods and low prices have hurt farmers. At present, the Hongti grape in Dunhuang, Gansu Province is also in such a situation. Yang Wen, a local agent, said that the simultaneous listing of Shaanxi Hongti and Gansu Hongti has greatly squeezed Dunhuang Hongti's market share.

Yang Wen: "since it was listed on September 5 this year, the price was about 3 yuan at the beginning of the listing, but now the price has dropped to 2 yuan, and the price has been falling all the way."

However, Shaanxi Hongti, which caused competitive pressure on Dunhuang Hongti, did not sell well all the way. On September 17, People's Daily said, "help fruit growers!" 200000 mu of red grapes are about to rot "released an online message, the message refers to exactly Shaanxi Hongti.

As this year's temperature, precipitation and other climatic conditions are suitable for grape growth, the market time of many varieties is relatively concentrated, forming a big year in terms of yield. Shang Jiayin, deputy director of the Grape Center of the Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, believes that although the unsalable grape is related to the expansion of planting area, more importantly, the expansion of the area is blind and disorderly.

Merchant Yin: "I think this is an inevitable result of the rapid development of grapes and the rapid increase in area, which is the result of disorderly expansion and disorderly production in some places in recent years." In the past two years, the grape has just entered the high-yield period in the past two years, and the seedling market is increasing in the past few years. It is natural that this kind of situation happens naturally. "

In sharp contrast to the disorderly expansion of planting, market demand has fallen sharply this year.

Shi Qingcai, an analyst at the Shuitun Agricultural and sideline products Wholesale Market in Beijing, said: "under the influence of the general environment, the procurement volume of government agencies and groups has dropped obviously. well, in the case of increased supply and reduced consumption, there have been some difficulties in fruit sales, and the price is also relatively low."

The weak market demand is even worse for grape growers. Seeing the grapes ripening one after another, Henan grower Wang Canghui is still looking at 40 mu of grape fields at a loss. The original optimistic industrial prospects and the desire to increase income were gradually extinguished by Rain Water over the past few days. Is it possible that high yield and good harvest can only be a pair of contradictions? In this regard, merchant Yin does not think so. He told reporters that the grape market still has a broad space for development, and the key is not only to focus on planting, but also to build supporting links, solve storage problems, and dredge sales channels, so as to prevent meteorological "natural disasters" and resist market "man-made disasters".

Merchant Yin: "one solution is to make a cold storage, because the grape is a plant, ah, it is impossible for you to pick it on the tree. So picking it down and storing it for him through some measures can relatively prolong the sales time of his market." I think it is still cold storage, ah, some supporting factories, ah, to build this kind of thing. Without the support of these projects, these problems may arise every year. "
