Tomato prices exceed apple "eggplant rollover" coming?

two days ago, the wholesale price of tomato is 2.2 yuan per Jin, now each Jin has risen 0.3 yuan, the retail price can reach 3 yuan per Jin, the more expensive the lower the lower distribution." Meng Fanzhen of Cui Zhai Town, Ji'nan, said. Meng Fanzhen has been selling vegetables for more than 10 years, and tomatoes can sell this price, which is rare in memory. The monitoring data issued by the Ji'nan Municipal Bureau of Commerce in November 22nd showed that the price of the tomato market has risen by more than 30% year on year. The highest wholesale price of Apple was 2.3 yuan per Jin, and the wholesale price of fresh pear was 1.25 yuan per Jin. Not only in Ji'nan, but also in all parts of the country, the price of tomatoes is also in a higher position. As the season changes, the price of vegetables often fluctuates up and down, but in this winter, the market price of tomatoes is rising, even higher than the prices of apples and fresh pears. Although the price has gradually dropped, but many people wonder, "eggplant rollover" coming? The Seven Mile vegetable wholesale wholesale market is the main agricultural product distributing center in the eastern part of Ji'nan City, Shandong province. November 23rd coincides with the weekend, and many people come to pick up fresh vegetables. The reporter noticed that green vegetables such as celery, leek, rape and other green vegetables, cabbage and potatoes are common in the market, but only three or four stalls sell tomatoes, and many customers shake their heads and leave after inquiries. High prices do not represent high profits. Meng Fanzhen told reporters that the price of tomato from Shouguang in Weifang is 2.2 yuan / Jin, and the price is even higher. I only want to keep the profit this time. I sold four thousand or five thousand jin a day last year. It's no problem. This year, it's one thousand or two thousand kilograms. The output is small and the price is high. "Last year, I could get ten thousand or twenty thousand catties of tomatoes a day, and this year, there are no less than 1000 catties, so I do not buy tomatoes now." Shao Jiangshan, a vegetable wholesaler in Cangshan County, Shandong, said. "For example, if there were ten acres of tomatoes planted last year, maybe one mu will be left this year." Shao Jiangshan always sells vegetables in Cangshan, Qingzhou, Weifang and other places. The low yield of tomatoes is beyond his expectation. Shao Jiangshan said that the original planting of tomato land, now most of the restructure of lettuce, cabbage, spinach, radish and other vegetables, "it is not the low price of tomatoes in the winter of last winter, not selling price." Statistics show that in mid November of last year, the market price of catty tomatoes in Shandong market was only 1.6 yuan to 1.8 yuan. Meng Fanzhen believed that last year's prices were low, and vegetable farmers would naturally replant other crops. In addition to the reduced planting area, poor climatic conditions also restrict the yield of tomatoes. Shao Jiangshan said, "in July this year, when tomatoes were just planted, the temperature and precipitation were not enough, and the harvest at maturity would be less." According to Zhang Yuxi, the general manager of the wholesale market of agricultural products in Beijing, the price of tomato per city in late 10 was 4.3 yuan, almost double the price of the same period last year. "The reason why prices have skyrocketed is the serious shortage of output in the main production areas of Shandong." Zhang Yuxi told reporters that the tomato harvest cycle is generally three months, Shandong Shouguang region in the late 7 months in the planting period of drought weather, in the mature harvest time and more precipitation, resulting in the overall production decline, part of the plots appear to be extinct. "In late 10, in the northeast and Inner Mongolia, the vegetable merchants went to Shandong for the supply of goods, so that the deliveries of tomatoes in the new market were significantly reduced every day, and the price was naturally sound." Zhang Yuxi said that in general, the new land market is sending out about 500 tons of tomatoes each day. When the price of tomatoes is the highest, the average daily shipments have dropped to 300 tons to 400 tons. Many experts say that the surge of tomatoes is temporary. With the gradual arrival of tomatoes in areas such as Liaodong and Anshan, prices have dropped. For the tomato market before the Spring Festival, Zhang Yuxi believes that if there is no major disaster, the overall situation will remain stable. "Especially in the next half month, the supply of goods in Liaoning, Jinzhou, Shandong and Yinan will further increase the market supply, and prices will continue to decline slightly." Zhang Yuxi said. Wang Linwu, director of the Vegetable Research Institute of Weifang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that the appearance of "eggplant rollover" once again showed the lagging nature of market regulation. "If the government can gather relevant vegetable planting information in time to make planting more rational, the phenomenon of skyrocketing and plunging will be greatly alleviated."
