The number of strawberries on the market in the greenhouse is small and the price is high. Analyst: prices may fall next month.

At present, these strawberries, which "grew up in greenhouses", are also on the market, according to China Rural Voice China. The fresh strawberries on the market make many consumers want to try something fresh. However, at present, the wholesale price of strawberries per jin is as high as 20 to 30 yuan, and the retail price is climbing to 35, which is much higher than in previous years, making everyone say "I can't afford it." So why is the price of strawberries too high this year? What is the difference between greenhouse strawberries and open field strawberries?

Early in the morning, farmers are busy harvesting fresh fruit in the fields of Guanlu Village, Yangcun Qiao Town, Jiande City, Zhejiang Province. This year, the area of pollution-free strawberries planted in the area is about 5000 mu. Due to the recent sunny weather, sufficient light and suitable temperature, it has ushered in the peak season for picking the first batch of fresh fruits of strawberries. the daily output of the whole town has reached more than 50,000 kilograms, which is sold to Hangzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai and other markets.

In Hangzhou Wenhui Fruit Wholesale Market, strawberries are still rare. There are only a few stalls selling strawberries in the whole market, with prices ranging from 25 yuan to 28 yuan per catty. According to merchants, strawberries sold now are mainly produced and sold in Jiande and other places. There are no large-scale shipments.

Merchant: the price is a little high this year. In short, it tastes good, but there is no output. There are many strawberries in previous years, and there are very few strawberries this year.

A fruit seller in Jiande told reporters that the launch of the first batch of strawberries this year was slightly delayed compared with previous years, the output was lower than last year, and the taste was not as good as last year. At the same time, strawberry sales are not very good, mainly supplied to bakeries, dessert shops and so on.

Merchants: it used to be more than 30,000 sales, but now it is more than 10,000 or 20,000. The reason is that some Taobao, ah, are directly sold in the place of origin.

In the fruit retail stores in Hangzhou, due to the small volume on the market, stall owners mostly retail in pots, and the price of strawberries per jin is 35 yuan. citizens ask more people, but few people buy fruit. Uncle Wang, who came to buy fruit, told reporters that he, who had planned to buy strawberries and tasted fresh, decided to choose other fruits after seeing such a high price.

Uncle Wang: because this year's price is more expensive than in previous years, I will choose other fruits.

According to preliminary statistics, the total production of strawberries in Hangzhou has dropped by about 40% compared with last year, leading to an increase in strawberry prices. When Christmas, New Year's Day or so, after the local strawberries are received in the greenhouse, the price of strawberries will drop by about 20%. The reason for the decline in production this year is that businesses believe that it is affected by the climate.

Merchant: the output is very low, the climate is not good, and the temperature is abnormal this year.

In Zhejiang Province, the quantity of strawberries in greenhouse is small and the price is high. In Anhui Province, National Geographic indication Changfeng Strawberries are also fresh on the market one after another. This year, the planting area of Changfeng County has reached 210000 mu, and the total output is expected to exceed 350000 tons. Li Tao, an analyst at Zhougudi Agricultural products Wholesale Market in Anhui Province, said that in recent years, the planting range of strawberries has become larger and larger year after year, and while the total amount has increased, the sales area has also increased, so the impact on the price of strawberries is not obvious, and the price is more than 25 yuan per jin.

Li Tao: first, it has also formed a brand of strawberries. in the past, we planted strawberries in Changfeng, Feidong and Feixi, and now strawberries are grown in Changfeng, Feidong and Feixi, and the quantity is increasing year by year. Strawberries in local Anhui have become a brand.

Li Tao said that according to statistics, strawberries from various producing areas across the country have recently begun to appear on the market in small quantities, and they are now in the early stages of listing strawberries, so they show a situation of higher prices and fewer quantities. Affected by the climate, prices everywhere are indeed higher than last year, at the same time, the launch time is later than before.

Li Tao: at present, the prices of strawberries are all above 25, a little higher than last year. Due to the special climate change in October this year, the launch time of strawberries has been delayed. It is expected that with the passage of time, before the Spring Festival next month, prices will begin to appear on the market in large numbers, when prices may fall partly.

At present, all the strawberries on the market are greenhouse strawberries, and the picking season is very long and will last until April and May next year, while strawberries cultivated in the open field usually go on sale around March. Li Tao said that in terms of taste and price, greenhouse strawberries are better than open field strawberries, and the greenhouse strawberries before and after the Spring Festival taste better and the price is lower than at present.

Li Tao: open-field strawberries can not be sold at a high price. When open-field strawberries are available in large quantities, the price is five or six yuan, and even three or four yuan can be bought. But in the greenhouse, the early rising price is relatively high, and the taste is relatively poor. Maybe in the later stage, one is that there is enough sugar accumulated. Second, when a large number of strawberries are on the market in the greenhouse, the price will fall to varying degrees, and the mainstream products will be around 12 or 13.
