Dig and dig the root of "price for the last kilometre"

vegetables from the field to the city (the big market of agricultural products), hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, and the "green passage" unimpeded. But from the "city gate" to the "last mile" of the public basket, the vegetable price has more than doubled. (Xinhua Daily, August 15th)
it was reported that the trade prices of winter gourds, vegetable seedlings and tomatoes in Jiangning's wholesale vegetable wholesale market were 0.25 yuan - 0.3 yuan /500 grams, 1 yuan - 1.5 yuan /500 grams and 0.6 yuan 0.8 yuan /500 grams, respectively. In Qinhuai District, the retail price of the Choi Ha Street restaurant is more than doubled on average. It is 1 yuan /500 grams, 2.5 yuan /500 grams of vegetables, 2 yuan /500 grams of tomatoes. In this regard, many people can not understand: from the base to the large market of agricultural products, through hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the price increases are very limited, can be transported from the big market to the community vegetable farm, to the "last kilometer", why horse skyrocket more than double?
more strange is that the price of vegetables in the "last kilometer" price up more than 1 times, according to the reason that the vegetable vendors make a big profit, but they call on the wrong, even called "did not make much money". The main reason is that the cost is quite a lot, such as the market transaction fee, the freight, the pickup and sorting after the return of the vegetables 10%, the rent at the counter per section of the vegetable farm hundreds of yuan per month, and the expenses of the rent, the living expenses, the medical expenses and so on. Of course, in this case, the vegetable traders did not find much money in the end.
thus, the "bitter" of vegetable vendors is not groundless. In fact, vegetables are transported from farms to large markets of agricultural products. Although the road is far away, they only involve freight, so the increase is very limited. But then it is different to the community vegetable market. The chief culprit of the vegetable price is more than doubled, which is a word that makes the vegetable sellers overburdened with all kinds of "fees". Therefore, the price of vegetables in the "last mile" plate can not be fully placed on the vegetable vendors. We should also look for the reasons from the perspective of the functions of the government departments.
in fact, compared to the "achievements project" and "image project", the "vegetable basket project" is the real popular support project. Therefore, the relevant government departments must start from the function, dig and dig the vegetable price in the "last kilometre" root, and can not completely abandon the management and management of the vegetable farm to the "invisible hand". At the same time, we should clean up the rents of the farms in the streets and departments, control the rents of the stalls, cancel unreasonable charges in the market management, and reduce the burden of the vendors from the source.
in a word, the vegetable farm is the basic unit of the community, is a public welfare project, so the community vegetable farm has "disease", so it can't always let the citizens eat "medicine". Besides, this does not conform to the ruling idea of "establishing the party for the public and the government for the people". Therefore, only the cost of the "last kilometre" is really reduced, and "green channel" can get through the dining table directly from the vegetable base and finally let the operators and consumers achieve the double win.
