[Epoch Times October 22, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Liu Yi comprehensive report) The price of vegetables in mainland China has been rising recently. The price of some leafy green vegetables has doubled, even higher than the price of pork. Some netizens said that when they bought vegetables, they were too expensive, so they turned around.
The mainland agricultural network reported on October 21 that the prices of leafy green vegetables in many markets in mainland China have risen. The prices of some vegetables have almost doubled, and a few vegetables have exceeded the “10 yuan/jin (500g)” mark, which is more expensive than pork.
In Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province, the price of spinach is 12 yuan/kg, cucumber is 6.8 yuan/kg, lettuce is 7 yuan/kg, chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is 9 yuan/kg, and the front and rear leg meat with skin is 9.8 yuan/kg, and the pork belly is 10.8 yuan/kg. Yuan/jin.
When the price of spinach in Shandong, a large vegetable production province, is the highest, it can sell for 14 yuan/jin, lettuce 6 yuan/jin, cucumber 6.5 yuan/jin, and lettuce 6 yuan/jin.
Mr. Li, who lives in Shengli Street, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, said that the price of green leafy vegetables has remained high since the long holiday.
Ms. Zhou, a vegetable dealer, said: I was shocked when I went to the food. The price of green onions was only 1.5 yuan per catty a few days ago, but now it has risen to 4 yuan per catty, and the price has skyrocketed.
Not only Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong, but also the prices of leafy green vegetables on the mainland markets have recently increased to varying degrees.
According to the “Agricultural Product Wholesale Price Index 200” released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the 21st, the “Agricultural Product Wholesale Price Index 200” was 123.99 on October 21, an increase of 0.58 points from the 20th, and the “Vegetable Basket” product wholesale price 200 index was 126.58. , An increase of 0.79 points over the 20th. The 28 types of vegetables that were monitored on the 20th increased by 0.5%; among the 46 types of fresh agricultural products monitored by the wholesale market of fresh agricultural products, the top five in price increase compared to the 20th were cauliflower, watermelon, beans, celery and cabbage, respectively. They are 4.1%, 2.9%, 2.9%, 2.7% and 2.6%.
Vegetable prices have risen, and the vendors selling vegetables are also helpless. Zhengzhou stall owner Lao Wang said that the prices of vegetables seem to be high, but in fact he does not make much money. The purchase price of spinach is 10.5 yuan/jin, and the market sells it at 12 yuan/jin. If you factor in the loss and stall fees, you can’t make a lot of money at all. And the price is high, and the number of people who buy is obviously reduced. If it can’t be sold within 2 days, it can only be thrown away, and then it will be at a loss.
Regarding the reasons for the recent increase in vegetable prices, the report said, first of all, there was heavy rain in the north and the vegetable fields were flooded. A vegetable dealer in Yucheng, Dezhou, Shandong said that the local vegetable fields had accumulated water, and people were “fishing” for vegetables in the water. The purchased vehicles cannot reach the ground and need to be carried out manually by hand.
Secondly, rising vegetable prices are also directly related to transportation costs. Vegetables in the north are in short supply and can only rely on the “support” of the south. However, the price of vegetables in the south has also risen to varying degrees in recent days. In addition, the high transportation cost from south to north has caused the price of vegetables to rise.
As for the trend of vegetable prices in the future, Liu Tong, head of the Statistics Department of the Beijing Vegetable Wholesale Market, said that this year’s vegetable flooding phenomenon is more common, making the supply of vegetables in the later period uncertain. As the temperature continues to drop, vegetable prices are expected to remain unchanged. The upward trend.
Rising vegetable prices have become a hot topic among mainland netizens, and a large number of netizens have expressed their opinions.
Netizen “Xu Furong” said: “Pork costs more than 7 yuan per catty, and garlic costs 12 yuan per catty. Boiled and twice-cooked meat and garlic are more expensive than meat.”
Netizen “User 2cjbfjp”: “I wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some green vegetables. I turned around and bought a few apples. I couldn’t afford it… Spinach was more than ten yuan, Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum was more than seven yuan, and broccoli was more than seven yuan. The cheap Shanghai Green is nearly five yuan! Forget it, don’t eat it!”
The netizen “user s_qgzb2” said: “It’s not expensive to sell vegetables from the people! It’s more expensive to sell a few hands to supermarkets and vegetable markets.”
“Ye Xiangning”, a vegetable farmer in Dalian, said helplessly: “My family in the rural area of Dalian, it rained too frequently this year, the vegetable field was too waterlogged, the Chinese cabbage was rotten in the field, there is not much left, and other vegetables do not like to grow. , So the food is expensive, let’s eat meat, and make up for all the meat that was not expensive last year.”
