Zhangqiu Welsh onion is tall, big, crisp, white and sweet, and has been deeply loved by the provincial city people. However, because this year Zhangqiu green onion yield less than 1000 kilograms in previous years, the price of Zhangqiu scallion is almost a foregone conclusion. In October 31st, when reporters visited Zhangqiu, it was found that the average price of scallion has exceeded 1 yuan / Jin, which is more than doubled last year. Because the supply of shallot is mainly from Zhangqiu, Ji'nan people will spend more money on Zhangqiu scallion this year.
ground price has reached 1 yuan / Jin Zhangqiu onions more than doubled last year
the main production area of shallot in the eastern part of the province. The planting area of the famous agricultural product "Zhangqiu onion" reaches 150 thousand mu, the total output is nearly 600 million kilograms, mainly supplying Ji'nan and Beijing and other places.
farmer Wang of the Hui Nan village of Zhangqiu embroidery town has planted more than 30 acres of green onions. Now it is the season for autumn onion to go on sale. Wang Xianben is very busy in the field every day. "The yield of scallion is low this year, and the quality of this onion is good and we do not want to sell it!" Wang first pointed to the good quality Organic Onions packaged with gift boxes. This year, the price of Organic Onions has reached more than 2 jin, and the general scallion has also exceeded 1 yuan / Jin. "Last year, one jin of onions was only three or four Mao, and the price of this year was more than doubled."
Ma Xingmin, a farmer in Yuanxin village of Yuanjia village, has run a green onion cooperative. He has been running back and forth from Beijing to the market these days. "10 pounds of gift onion wrapped in boxes can be sold for 60 yuan in Beijing." Ma Xingmin's biggest feeling in the last few days is that the price of shallot is rising, not only the price of Organic Onions is rising, even the general scallion is also a price for a day, "the first two days are 7 cents per Jin, and now it has risen to 1 yuan / Jin."
the price of scallion is so high that Ma Xingmin, who had done many years of scallion business, met in 2008 only. "The most expensive green onion sold in the year was nearly 3 yuan a kilogram." Ma Xingmin said, according to this method, it is hard to say how much money Zhangqiu scallion can rise this year.
shallot cut production, fertilizer, artificial cost in the price of spring onions also followed the "rise of water"
the price of green onion has been rising, what exactly behind the curtain? Wang Xinxing, deputy director of Zhangqiu vegetable service center, explained that, compared with the past year, the planting area of Zhangqiu onion has not decreased this year, and the planting area of the spring onions is reaching nearly 100 thousand mu in the fall. "But this year, the climate is abnormal, and the yield of shallot Mu is reduced." Wang Xinxing said that many spring onion seedlings had been frozen to death in spring this year. Many farmers had no seedlings to grow, and some of them had been used. After the spring onion seedlings were planted at the end of May, there was a dry weather, which was very bad for the growth of the onion seedlings. In August, there were continuous rainfall in August, and some shallot roots rotted, and the rainwater decreased again in the key period of the growth of scallion in October.
"before drought, flood and drought, the weather is very unfavorable for the growth of green onion." Wang Xinxing said that in past years, the yield of Zhangqiu onions is generally seven thousand or eight thousand jin, the yield of high yield per mu is more than ten thousand jin, but this year, only six thousand or seven thousand jin per mu, "Ji'nan surrounding counties and cities only Zhangqiu planting green onions, the market supply of scallions less, the price naturally went up."
apart from the decrease in per mu yield, the more direct experience of scallion farmers is the increase in fertilizer and labor costs this year. Song Guangbao said, remove the onion seedlings this year, an acre of water, fertilizer and light onion every year will spend nearly 1700 yuan this year, the labor cost is up badly, "hire every 559 yuan last year, only 40 yuan." Ma Xingmin is more impressed by the rise in labor costs: "no 100 yuan / day, all workers can not hire shallots, and in the past few dozens of dollars." Ma Xingmin said that the increase in production and labor costs has led to a surge in Scallion prices this year.
