The price of garlic continues to fall this year, and the return of garlic for sale next year is not expected to be ideal.

What is the benefit of storing garlic in 2018? It should be said that it is still not so good, and last year's situation has a general reference for this year. Of course, the price of garlic stored in the autumn of 2017 is generally on the high side, while the lower price of garlic in the later period led to serious losses among garlic merchants, coupled with the unsalable garlic, which can not be comprehensively sold out of cold storage garlic until this year's garlic harvest.

For this year's storage of garlic, science is still not optimistic about agriculture. Although the price of garlic this year is much lower than that of last year, the cost of cold storage is still relatively high. Scientific Xingnong predicts that this year, garlic is more likely to go to dried garlic than to go into cold storage. After all, dried garlic is easy to store and used for export, while cold storage garlic is not that simple. On the one hand, the cost of cold storage is high, and even if the planting area of garlic decreases next year, it is very likely that the garlic hoarded in the market this year will be able to meet the demand for garlic in the coming year.

Now let's make a simple calculation for some related situations of garlic storage.

As far as I know, the storage price of garlic in storage is roughly 4 yuan per ton per square meter per day. According to the calculation of at least 2 square meters, it also needs 8 yuan per day, with an additional cost of 240 yuan per month, that is, an increase of 240 yuan per ton of garlic per month, equivalent to 0.12 yuan per catty. With reference to the current purchase price of garlic market, basically at 9 cents per jin, the new garlic will be stored in October and put on the market in May next year. Then the price reaches 1.76 yuan per jin to basically maintain the balance of payments!

Here we want to measure, based on the current situation of serious oversupply in the garlic market this year, it is optimistic that the garlic price will basically reach 1.5-2 yuan next year. However, we should also make it clear that the loss in the storage process of garlic and the cost of manpower in and out of the warehouse is also a lot of money.

At that time, even if the garlic price can maintain the state of not losing money in storage, the profit margin for garlic depositors is also very small. Therefore, Scientific Xingnong believes that it is not appropriate to store garlic in 2018, but I believe that this year, many garlic merchants will continue to store garlic in large quantities at the risk of taking a chance.

Here is science to promote agriculture, welcome to add attention, with you to grow knowledge.
