After entering November, vegetable prices continued the trend of more rise and less decline, and the prices of various vegetables continued to be at a high level, ushering in a "good start". Winter melon, shallots, leeks, pumpkins rose significantly, and the prices of vegetables such as green onions, eggplants, and coriander also rose by a certain extent compared with last month.
In a supermarket in the eastern Henan region where the author is located, in early November, the price of leeks was 8 yuan / jin, spinach 13 yuan / jin, coriander 8.8 yuan / jin, eggplant 5.9 yuan / jin, green onions 6.8 yuan / jin, green pepper 6.28 yuan / jin, cauliflower 7 yuan / jin, broccoli 10 yuan / jin, cabbage 4.6 yuan / jin.
Vegetable prices continue to rise, a variety of vegetable prices exceed the price of pork, so that consumers sigh, eating vegetables than eating meat are more expensive, and for friends who like to eat hot pot, go to the supermarket to buy vegetable ingredients, feel that there are not several choices, it is more than 100, and before, more than 100 not only contain vegetables, but also contain meat.
In the case of a sharp rise in vegetable prices, are the profits of vegetable farmers high? Can you earn tens of thousands of yuan by planting vegetables on an acre of land? These questions are of interest to many friends, the following combined with several common vegetable prices, to talk about this matter.
Leeks rose 2.5 times
According to the quotation of Xinfadi Vegetable Wholesale Market, in September, the wholesale price of leeks averaged 2.85 yuan / kg, and after October, the average price rose to 5.94 yuan / kg, while the price on November 1 was 7.2 yuan / kg, compared with September, an increase of about 2.5 times.
If the price of leeks rises by 2.5 times, will the income of vegetable farmers also increase by 2.5 times? According to some farmers who grow leeks, due to the local rainfall in September and October, the growth of leeks has been affected to a certain extent, on the one hand, the yield has decreased, on the other hand, the quality has also been affected to a certain extent, and the buyers have adopted a price reduction strategy in the face of not very good quality leeks, the selling price is less than 1.5 yuan / catty, coupled with the reduction in production, the income can be almost as good as last year.
Parsley rose to 20 yuan / kg
In 2019, coriander had a period of high price, and into late October 2021, to the beginning of November, coriander prices once again ushered in high prices, such as the price of coriander in the Beijing Great Ocean Road Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market, the wholesale price reached 20.5 yuan / kg on November 10, it is conceivable that the retail price is not cheap, which makes people think of a bundle of coriander for dozens of yuan.
Looking at the price trend of coriander, the rise time was one month earlier than that of other vegetables, and from August it entered a sharp increase. In July, the price of coriander was basically 5-5.5 yuan / kg, in August it has risen to 15-16 yuan / kg, September and October rose and fell, and after entering November, it rose sharply again.
The rise in the price of coriander is related to the market supply, the coriander planted in the open air in November has basically ended, either the coriander in the greenhouse, or the coriander grown in parts of the south, the supply is limited, therefore, the price has risen sharply, for most of the vegetable farmers, the price of coriander at this time, although relatively high, but it has little to do with themselves, because there is no supply.
Green onions up 75%
Look at the price trend of green onions from January to early November this year, similar to the "roller coaster", according to the data of Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, the price of green onions in January and February was at its peak, and the wholesale price reached 10-11 yuan / kg, and then began to gradually decline, and in July, the price of green onion was at a low point, and the wholesale price was only 1.72 yuan / kg.
After entering August, the price of green onions rebounded and rose, and the upward momentum continued until October, but the increase was not very large, with the average wholesale price in September being 3.29 yuan / kg. By November 1, the price was 5.8 yuan / kg, up about 75% compared with September.
According to this upward trend, wait until the time of the year ago, do not rule out the high price of January, the above prices are said to be wholesale prices, the retail price when consumers buy, estimated 10 yuan / kg of green onions, it is not impossible.
In the face of rising vegetable prices, vegetable farmers said that "the price we sell is not so high, almost the same as usual, coupled with the reduction in production, and the reason for the decline in quality, there is no more money, even compared with previous years, it is not as profitable as in previous years, and one acre of land earns tens of thousands of yuan, can only think about it."
For the acquirer, "the rise in oil prices, the increase in transportation costs, coupled with the shipment to the wholesale market, the price is not very high, and compared with usual, the profit is almost the same, that is, the whole hard money."
For retailers, "wholesale prices have risen sharply, and they can only sell at a higher price, after all, the stall fee plus labor is also a big expense, plus the loss of vegetables, and finally calculated, it is not profitable."
From vegetable farmers to middlemen say that they do not make money, but vegetable farmers sell 2-3 yuan / kg of price, consumers buy 9-10 yuan / kg, the difference in the middle of who earned?
