Beijing: "Xiang Qian Onion" is 60% cheaper than last year

Green onions, which have entered the "luxury" menu after the Spring Festival this year, have lost their aristocratic temperament. On the 16th, the reporter visited the Beijing "vegetable basket" Xinfadi Agricultural products Wholesale Market and learned that the price of green onions fell to 0.4 yuan to 0.7 yuan per jin this week, more than 60 percent lower than the same period last year, and has reached the lowest price of the year.

At present, it is the season for the supply of early and late vegetables in summer. A reporter from Beijing Morning Post learned from the Xinfadi market that most of the change of vegetable stubble is nearing its end. Due to the large planting area of vegetables in summer in Beijing this year, vegetable prices continue to decline, and will run for a long time in the price range lower than that of the same period last year.

The planting area increases and the price of green onions falls.

The price of green onions soared after the Spring Festival, rising by about 800% year-on-year in April. As a result, "the smell of onions becomes a show of wealth". When people buy green onions, they also change from "buying by bundles" to "buying by trees".

Mao Yongxi, a big wholesale green onion in the new hair market, said that the main reason for the soaring price of green onions in the early stage was the substantial reduction in planting area. "there has been a big rise in the price of green onions before, so farmers grow more green onions. As a result, green onions have been unsalable for two years in a row. Last year, vegetable farmers and green onions were rotten in the field, and they all lost money when they were sent to the market for nothing."

However, seeing that the price of green onions has gone up this spring, many farmers have increased the planting area of the second crop of spring onions. With the mass listing of the second crop of onions, the price of green onions has also entered the "plummeting" mode. According to statistics, on August 12, the wholesale price of green onions in the Xinfadi market was 0.4 yuan to 0.7 yuan per jin, while the price for the same period last year was 1.1 yuan to 1.7 yuan per jin, down 60.71% from the same period last year. "the farmers who grow green onions complain a lot, the merchants who sell green onions do not make money, and all aspects of the supply chain of green onions are not easy." Liu Tong, head of the statistics department in the newly developed area, said.

Vegetable prices will stay low for a long time.

Liu Tong said that last week, the weighted average price of vegetables in the newly issued land market was basically stable, fluctuated slightly and continued to decline.

According to statistics, the weighted average price of vegetables in the Xinfa market on August 12 was 1.71 yuan / kg, down 1.72 percent from 1.74 yuan / kg on August 5 and 28.45 percent from 2.39 yuan / kg in the same period last year. On the whole, the price of food dropped month-on-month in the previous week, and continued to decline last week.

At present, vegetables in the newly developed market are changing stubble, some early stubble vegetables are withdrawn from the market, and late stubble vegetables are listed on the market, which leads to problems in the connection of the vegetable supply chain, and the formation of batch listing conditions of late stubble vegetables leads to a drop in vegetable prices. when late stubble vegetables appear on the market and early stubble vegetables withdraw from the market, the vegetable price will rise, so it is inevitable that there will be some fluctuations in vegetable prices in the near future.

For example, leek, a hot vegetable on the market, dropped by 46.15% month-on-week and 47.5% year-on-year. This is why many places in the south have self-produced leeks, the scale of southward transportation of leeks has greatly shrunk, and a large number of surplus leeks have poured into the new market, resulting in a sharp drop in prices.

Pork prices fell after the Beginning of Autumn.

In addition, a reporter from the Beijing Morning Post learned that before the Beginning of Autumn, driven by the Beginning of Autumn's "autumn fat" consumption, pork prices in the newly developed market showed a steady rise, but after the Beginning of Autumn, prices fell continuously.

According to monitoring, the average wholesale price of white striped pigs in Xinfadi market on August 12 was 10.75 yuan per jin, down 2.71 percent from 11.05 yuan per jin on August 5 and 5.12 percent from 11.33 yuan per jin in the same period last year.

Liu Tong said that in the past two weeks, the average wholesale price of white striped pigs in the Xinfadi market has gone through a process of rising and falling. The average wholesale price of white striped pigs rose rapidly from 10.45 yuan / jin on July 30 to 11.48 yuan / jin on August 6. The price rose 9.86% in one week, and quickly fell back to 10.75 yuan / jin on August 12, falling by 6.36% within a week. The fluctuation of meat price is very obvious. Liu Tong said that this process of rising and falling is entirely caused by the Beginning of Autumn's custom of "sticking to autumn fat" and has nothing to do with the overall trend of meat prices. "the high prices that appeared during the Beginning of Autumn's solar terms are very difficult to break through in the months after the Beginning of Autumn. If you break through the high prices during the Beginning of Autumn's period, you generally need to enter after December. "

As for the trend of meat prices in the second half of the year, Liu Tong still adheres to the previous conclusion, that is, the period of the largest gap between supply and demand of wool pigs has passed, and the overall situation of supply of wool pigs has changed from tight to loose. The rising momentum of meat prices in early August has passed, and for some time thereafter, meat prices will be lower than they were in early August. (Beijing Morning Post)
