The price of banana producing area in China is weak at the end of the year, and the overall loss of banana farmers in Guangxi has been decided.

In the blink of an eye, 2017 is almost coming to an end, and for Guangxi, China ( agricultural land, Commercial residence, Industrial) It has been a difficult year for banana farming. Originally, a bumper harvest per mu should be a banana "big year", but I don't want to lose the price of "somersault". Although the banana market has generally warmed up in recent times, banana prices in some areas have even more than doubled. Unfortunately, the peak of banana production season in Guangxi has passed. Local banana farmers have no choice but to say that the overall loss situation this year is basically determined and there is no possibility of turning over.

It is understood that near the end of the year, banana prices in China have risen sharply. According to Zhuochuang information statistics show that banana prices rose from 0.51 yuan per catty in mid-October this year to 1.48 yuan per catty, a cumulative increase of 190%. Industry analysts said that this situation is mainly due to the fact that bananas in Guangxi producing areas are nearing the end of the market and the supply volume is decreasing. Yunnan ( agricultural land, Commercial residence, Industrial) Recently, there has been more rainfall and low temperature in the production area, which has caused the growth rate of bananas to slow down. At present, only Honghe ( agricultural land, Commercial residence, Industrial) A small number of bananas from Hekou are on the market. It is expected that this situation will not change until mid-December, when bananas from Yunnan will be concentrated on the market.

Unfortunately, despite this, banana prices in the final stage of the "sprint" still can not be Guangxi banana farmers from the loss of the situation out. As we all know, Guangxi is the main banana producing area in China, and Pubei County is also known as "the hometown of bananas". October this year, originally Guangxi banana harvest season, local banana garden is a depressed scene. Because banana purchase price continues to fall, the lowest is only 0.3 yuan per catty, after calculation, only when the purchase price is maintained at 0.7 yuan above, banana farmers can recover the cost. Many banana farmers have no choice but to give up harvesting and watch the bananas rot in the fields.

It is reported that, in fact, since 2015, Guangxi banana industry began to enter the downturn, acquisition prices continue to decline, so far there has been no improvement. Some insiders pointed out that this is the result of local disorderly planting, but also in recent years Guangxi banana industry chronic disease outbreak concentrated embodiment. Relevant data show that in 2014, domestic banana sales ushered in a golden period, when banana purchase prices reached a maximum of 4.3 yuan per catty, attracting a large amount of social capital inflows. Between 2014 and 2016 alone, the banana planting area in Guangxi nearly doubled compared with before. By 2016, Guangxi banana planting area totaled 1.835 million mu, with an output of 3.426 million tons. This year, the planting area is basically flat and the output has also increased. Large-scale disorderly planting leads to intensified vicious competition and large-scale increase of banana yield in Guangxi, which is bound to impact the price.

In addition, it is introduced that September to December every year is the banana listing season in Guangxi. Affected by the previous climate, some bananas originally listed in early winter are listed in advance to autumn, resulting in a large number of bananas being supplied to the market in a concentrated manner, and the cost of labor and packaging remains high, seriously squeezing the profit space of banana farmers. It is reported that the relevant departments in Guangxi are actively taking countermeasures to help banana farmers tide over difficulties.
