The unsalable price of pineapple in Wanning, Hainan is low, and it is difficult for growers to make money with a pineapple income of 2000 yuan per mu.

"Last year, buyers placed orders when they were young. This year, pineapples are maturing, and many acquirers are still waiting to see." Xu Lianzong, president of Longjun Pineapple Association in Wanning City, Hainan Province, said on the 2nd that the poor pineapple market before and after the Spring Festival this year has caused concern among growers. A few days ago, the reporter learned from the propaganda Department of the Wanning Municipal CPC Committee that in response to the unsalable situation of Wanning pineapples, Wanning City issued an emergency subsidy program for pineapple transportation and sales in Wanning City in 2017, which gives freight subsidies to pineapples purchased by carriers in Wanning at 120 yuan per ton.

"A basket of pineapples weighs nearly 40 jin and only sells for 20 to 40 yuan." Huang Changyun of Shuipo Village, Longjun Town, who is known by the villagers as the "King of Pineapple" because of the wide area of self-planted and contracted pineapple fields, said, "this year, our pineapples are on the market nearly 20 days ahead of schedule. Guangdong Xuwen pineapple market accounts for a large proportion, the island's pineapple production has also greatly increased, this year Wenchang, Ding'an have a larger planting area. In previous years, purchasers are full of guesthouses in Longjun town, but this year there are few buyers in the town. "

According to Xu Lian, the area of pineapple planted by farmers ranges from a few mu to 300 to 400 mu, with an output of more than 10,000 yuan per mu when the harvest is good. This year, when the market was slow and the price was low, the farmers' income per mu was 2000 yuan, so they could not even get back the cost, and the farmers who contracted the land for planting could not even get back the contract fee.

It is understood that due to abnormal climate, increased rainfall and warm winter, Wanning pineapple went on the market earlier and listed at the same time as pineapple from Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong Province, resulting in unsalable Wanning pineapple, with the price as low as 0.5 yuan / jin. In order to cope with the low price caused by the unsalable pineapple in Wanning City, Wanning City recently introduced the "Emergency subsidy Program for Pineapple Transportation and sales in Wanning City in 2017", which will provide a freight subsidy of 120 yuan per ton for pineapples purchased by carriers in Wanning.

According to the emergency subsidy program, pineapples purchased by carriers in Wanning will be subsidized at 120 yuan per ton from January 28, 2017 to February 11, 2017, according to a staff member of the Wanning Municipal Bureau of Agriculture.
