At the Yuquanying Flower Market in Beijing, Boss Wu, a flower seller, is busy in his store. towards the end of the year, New Year's Day and the Spring Festival are coming, and many more customers are coming to buy flowers. Boss Wu said that at this time in previous years, the price of flowers would go up a little bit, but the increase this year is very big.

Boss Wu: it goes up every year at this season, because it starts to rise from the shipper. Now the price of roses will be increased by 23%, 30%, which is the price of the previous two days, and now the flowers will go up, especially the red and pink flowers with festive colors.

At the Dounan Flower Market in Yunnan, Boss Xia, a flower wholesaler, is also busy wholesale flowers. New Year's Day's Spring Festival is the peak time for marriage, and the market has a lot more demand for brightly colored flowers, especially roses.

Boss Xia: because there is a wedding peak behind, if the wedding ceremony, bright color collocation, its price will be a little more prominent. Now the fastest increase is the Leng Beauty series, which basically rises by 40% every day for three consecutive days.

The reporter learned that since November this year, the price of flowers in various places has increased significantly. In the last three or four days, the average price of roses in Dounan Flower Market in Yunnan has reached 1.65 yuan per unit, an increase of 33 percent over the same period last year. Sales also increased by 400000 over the same period last year. Zhang Shaoliang, a flower market analyst in Dounan, Yunnan, told reporters that this year, the income of Yunnan flower farmers is also much higher than in the past.

Zhang Shaoliang: the income of flower growers is also much higher, almost a handful of flowers increased by 5 yuan to 8 yuan.

The positive situation of both price and sales volume has undoubtedly drawn a successful full stop for the flower market in 2016. The main reason why there will be a hot scene in the flower market at the end of the year is the substantial increase in demand. The wholesaler boss Xia told reporters that in recent years, there have been more and more fresh flower e-commerce, and their demand for flowers, as well as their requirements for the quality of flowers, have contributed to the rise in prices to a certain extent.

Boss Xia: after entering the 15th to 20th, the price here reached a peak. The increase during this period is so great because domestic e-commerce is springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, which leads to the abundance of direct selling network platforms. These platforms, compared with traditional sales, require a little higher, so it is difficult to find good flowers, coupled with his demand for quality, and yearning for quality. Well, first of all, good quality drives up the price, so up to now, flower prices have skyrocketed.

However, in winter, the output of fresh flowers in the south has decreased, and it is even more difficult to obtain flowers of good quality. Coupled with the demand for flowers during festivals and weddings, in order to maintain supply, some buyers began to rush and hoard goods, which also contributed to the price of flowers on the market. Boss Wu, a flower seller in Beijing.

Boss Wu: there are also certain human factors, hoarding and pressing goods, mainly first-level wholesalers in the south, which has now formed a situation, that is, hoarding.

Zhang Shaoliang, an analyst at the flower market in Dounan, Yunnan, told reporters that in October this year, there was a situation in which the supply of flowers fell short of demand. Although the situation has now stabilized, there is a large demand in the terminal market, as well as buyers' suspicion that the prices of flowers continue to rise, still prompting them to rush for a large number of goods.

Zhang Shaoliang: because we are sensitive to price increases, because orders from all over the country are in Dounan, if the supply of flowers falls short of demand, there will be rush orders, because shippers have to complete their own profits, that is to say, they have to complete a certain amount of orders in order to make profits, so they spend more and more, as a result, the prices are higher and higher.

Analyst Zhang Shaoliang said that nowadays, people's standard of living is getting higher and higher, and the demand for flowers is also increasing. In the later period of time, the concentration of various festivals may promote the price of flowers to continue to rise. In the future, the flower market still has some room for development.

Zhang Shaoliang: the future trend is quite considerable. Last year's Spring Festival and Valentine's Day overlap. It is reasonable to double the amount of flowers and soar prices. On January 27 of this year's Spring Festival, prices generally rise a week ahead of schedule. Valentine's Day February 14 is generally 11 days of price increase. Considering the increase in flower planting area this year, the supply is sufficient and there will be no explosive growth. After Christmas this year, the fresh cut flowers will fall somewhat, but the range is not very large, because then New Year's Day's stock starts again, so practitioners in the flower industry are invited to prepare for a small price increase.
