Moon cakes are very expensive for Ji'nan citizens to wait and see prices
, the price of raw materials for moon cakes rose this year, and the price of brand moon cakes also increased by 10% to 70%. From the feedback from some supermarkets, as of now, the sale of moon cakes is not as good as the previous year. Both retail and group buying people are still in a state of view.
the price of agricultural and sideline products rose this year, the main raw material prices of lotus seed, mung bean, sugar and other moon cakes have also risen in varying degrees, of which the lotus seed has the largest increase, up to 165%. As a result, the price of moon cakes is rising. This year, it is also nicknamed "the most expensive moon cake in history".
yesterday, Miss Cheung visited seven or eight moon cakes counters at WAL-MART supermarket and finally came out empty handed.
in Ginza, WAL-MART and other supermarkets, the mid-range of the moon cake boxes are generally more than 120 yuan, the iron box of double Huang Lianrong moon cake, Cantonese beef meat pine moon cake are more than ten yuan or even tens of yuan than in previous years. The sales staff of holly moon cake said, "at present, most customers come to ask questions, but not many people buy."
because the price of the moon cake is too high this year, some moon cake boxes begin to sell, for example, in the gift box of A moon cake, in the box below 120 yuan, 6 to 8 moon cakes are generally not seen, basically the moon cakes, such as sesame, litchi, rose, winter gourd and other fruits, vegetables, or grain flavors. The salesperson said, "the combination moon cake gift box is cheap, and it can also suit the taste of the whole family, and it is more popular with customers."
combination moon cake gift box can obviously reduce the cost. The sales staff of the willaco moon cake said that the stuffing was about 60 yuan per kilo this year, and the filling of Bai Lianrong and Hong Lian Rong was about 40 yuan, while the filling of winter Rong, pineapple, orange and other fruits was only about 25 yuan per kilogram. The use of new flavored fillings has obviously reduced the cost. Some fruit, vegetables and grains have seven or eight moon cakes, and the price is less than 100 yuan. But the high cost pure yolk lotus seed paste and pure Wu Ren moon cake are not very high in the gift box this year, and there are up to one or two pieces in a gift box.
the director of a supermarket's daily distribution Department said that it has come to a large unit of group buying moon cakes, but because the price is rising, the sale of the moon cake is not so hot as in the past. Some company purchasers come to the supermarket to calculate the price. The same quality moon cake is ten or twenty yuan more expensive than the previous year. Several hundred boxes of moon cakes are spent several thousand yuan more than in previous years. Some companies have changed the original purchase plan, some companies directly contact the manufacturers to order the lowest price. (reporter Liao Liang)
