In the past few years, the fruit market was very good. Fruit farmers looked popular and increased their planting area one after another. It happened that this year was a fruit harvest year. I sorted out why this year's apples were so cheap. Welcome to learn from them.
Why are apples so cheap this year
This year's fruit prices, on the whole, are indeed a little depressed. Taking apple as an example, the price of Apple was very high last year and the first half of this year, which was mainly due to the severe late spring cold last spring, which led to the damage of fruit trees and the serious reduction of apple production. However, the apple harvest in autumn has increased, the planting scale has increased, the yield has increased, and the effect of supply and demand has appeared.
In addition, let's look at winter peaches. Many people eat peaches in summer. Peaches in winter are expensive fruits, and the price has been high. However, the price of winter peach this year is 34% lower than that in the same period in previous years. At present, the wholesale price of the producing area is generally lower than 2 yuan, which is the lowest price in recent five years. Some fruit merchants admitted that the overall price of fruits in autumn and winter this year is low, and the price of winter jujube, which is very popular in previous years, will not be too high.
Fruit prices are generally low in autumn and winter this year, and the market is not good. We have roughly sorted out the following reasons.
1. First, the planting scale and yield of fruits in autumn and winter have increased relatively. In the past few years, the fruit market was very good. Fruit farmers looked very popular and increased their planting area one after another. It happened that this year was a fruit harvest year, with a bumper harvest of apples, winter peaches, pears, grapes and other fruits. The market supply exceeds demand, and the price naturally decreases.
2. The diversity of fruits has increased, which is partly impacted by imported fruits. China's traditional fruit in winter is apple, but now with the improvement of logistics level and the cultivation of off-season fruits, people can also eat fruits from all over the country in winter. At the same time, with the impact of a large number of imported fruits, the demand for traditional fruits has some impact. Only by continuously improving the quality of fruits can we remain invincible. At present, the competition of fruits is becoming more and more fierce, and all kinds of fancy fruits emerge in endlessly. In this case, fruit farmers can only continuously improve the quality of their own agricultural products, so as to open up a road to prosperity in a depressed market.
