Re: the price of garlic has dropped to a low level. The fresh garlic is seven or eight cents a kilogram, just half of the same period last year.
save the cost of cold storage, slicing 2000 tons of garlic
garlic has its own storage characteristics, the garlic is stored in the cold storage for second years or even third years to sell the storage of garlic in the presence of old and new garlic, and the garlic market is also more complex. Farmers do not necessarily rush to sell when fresh garlic comes out. After the garlic grows in May, they can be kept until August, during which they can be sold as dried garlic. And in August, garlic stored in cold storage can still be sold for 1 to 2 years. In
a cold store, the workers are carrying garlic.
located in the Shuanglong cold store on the west side of Jinxiang County town, more than a dozen porters carry bags of garlic in and out of the cold store. "There was a garlic dealer who saved 200 tons last year and is now in urgent need of shipment." Old Hao, the head of the cold storage, told reporters that a ton of garlic has a cold storage cost of 450 yuan a year. At the end of May, when it came to the cost of renewal, some businessmen saw the current market bad. In order to save storage costs, they hurried out. "Businessmen hoarding garlic is a few hundred tons, many thousands tons, so many of them are facing such low prices this year." People can't sit. "
last July, Mr. Zhao, a businessman from Tangshan, and his friends invested about 12000000 yuan in the purchase of more than 2300 tons of garlic. Although garlic rose to 2.5 yuan in September last year, he did not come out. "This year, he always feels that the price of garlic will continue to go high this year, and it is not expected to fall to 1 yuan." Mr. Cho couldn't afford to store about 1000000 yuan for the cold storage. "I can't sell some of it. Now we are connecting with the local garlic processing enterprise. It's going to slice all the garlic and dry it, so it's easy to store, and it can save a lot of cost." Mr. Zhao said.
Mr. Dang in Ji'nan hoarding 30 tons of garlic in the year before, making 1 yuan net profit of over 2000 yuan. Compared to the tens of thousands of dollars he made the previous year, he was more fortunate that he did not hoard garlic last year.
a cold street in Nan Dian Zi County, Jinxiang County, has twenty or thirty cold stores, and many cold stores have printed billboards with striking phone numbers. "Maybe it is affected by the price of garlic at that time. This year, there are not many cold storage customers in advance." A cold storage owner told reporters that last year this time, most of the cold storage has already been booked, "now the customers are watching, waiting for a suitable time."
three large areas of garlic has not been listed in
"last year, the price of garlic entered the market last year to reach 1.6 - 1.7 yuan per Jin. After that, the price was up to 2.9 yuan, and the later return to stability was also kept at 2.4 yuan." Zhang Hongbo, Secretary General of the garlic industry information association of Jinxiang County, said that a considerable market last year made merchants full of confidence in the price of garlic this year and hoarded a large amount of surplus goods. At present, when garlic is on the market, the price is low and the merchants are worried and begin to deliver a lot of goods. "Such a large amount of garlic enters the circulation link, which leads to the current situation of oversupply and the continued low price of garlic."
will garlic prices meet Waterloo this year? Zhang Hongbo believes that it is too early to be pessimistic. "Jinxiang, Hebei, Jiangsu are the three major garlic production areas. At present, garlic has not been listed in the three major areas. All people are in the state of watching, and the price of garlic will be clear until July and August."
"garlic price fluctuation has a certain periodicity, usually in three years as a cycle." Zhang Hongbo pointed to a curved picture on the wall behind him. In the past 11 years, garlic has seen two big highs and two lows. The lowest price of garlic in 2007 was only a few cents, but the price rose in 2008, the highest was over 6 yuan. After three years of low price, the garlic price was more than 9 yuan at the end of 2016. "Garlic prices are mainly determined by market supply and demand, and the price of garlic is not expected to appear significantly higher this year." "."
