Market price of carnations: with Mother's Day approaching, the retail price of carnations has risen by 50 yuan per branch.

This Sunday is Mother's Day, and many people will buy carnations on Mother's Day to show their feelings for their mothers. Affected by the large quantity of carnations and falling prices last year, flower farmers are more conservative this year. Compared with the same period last year, the number of carnations sent to the Taipei flower market has decreased by more than 50% compared with last year, and the auction price is also double that of last year. On the 10th, the retail price of a domestic carnation in Taipei can reach 50 yuan.

According to the data of the Agricultural products Wholesale Market, 39469 carnations were sent to the Taipei market on May 10 last year, with an average auction price of 34.50 yuan. on May 10 this year, 15113 carnations were sent to the Taipei market for auction, with an average auction price of 76.40 yuan per carnation.

Kuo Hui-shan, chairman of the Taipei Flower Shop Association, said that due to the collapse in prices last year, farmers planted relatively conservatively this year, with less output and relatively high prices. On the 10th, for example, the retail price of packaged carnations can reach 50 yuan each. Guo Huishan said that the price of carnations varies every year, which is unfair to consumers and farmers, and calls on agricultural units to pay attention to the issue of flower production and marketing.

Wang Anshi, director of the Central Branch of the Agriculture and Food Department, said that more than half of the planting area of carnations is in Tianwei Township, Changhua County, and the recent high price is due to the fact that continuous rainfall is not easy to harvest and is close to Mother's Day. Chen Bingsen, director of agriculture in Changhua County, said that due to reasons such as last year's nine-in-one election, farmers expected candidates to buy more carnations as gifts to voters, so they produced more carnations and their prices were lower. Affected by last year's prices, farmers planted relatively conservatively this year, resulting in less quantity and higher prices.

Xu Jifei, head of the crop production team of the Agriculture and Food Department, also said that due to the high yield and falling prices last year, some farmers adjusted their production capacity, and the planting area of carnations has decreased this year. As for whether registration will be used to adjust production and marketing? Xu said that most of the registered crops are green payment programs, while farmers measure the supply and demand of the rest of the crops.

This Sunday is Mother's Day, and many people will buy carnations on Mother's Day to show their feelings for their mothers.
