the sales of fruit is also the first day of the day. Many vendors in Ji'nan Dikou Road fruit wholesale market say that fruit sales are far less popular than before. It is understood that the fruit sales in the provincial capital dropped by about 80% compared with the pre holiday period, but the price did not drop, and some fruit prices also rose slightly. Nearly half of the fruit stalls were covered with canvas on 16 days in Ji'nan's fruit wholesale market on the Ji'nan dike road. A number of doors were pulled up by the door. In a treaty of 50 meters long, only three or four vendors were stall. Several stall owners play cards together, and few customers inquiry at the fruit stand.
"sales can reach more than ten thousand yuan a day before the festival, and now thousands of dollars a day, preferably ten thousand yuan." Said an upscale fruit wholesaler. Many traders said that the sale of fruit is now 1/10 of the festival's day, and some peddlers will assemble and disassemble the fruit boxes before the festival. A person in charge of the fruit market said that the current market sales volume was about about one million yuan a day, accounting for only about 20% of the pre holiday sales.
sales volume has dropped sharply, but fruit prices haven't changed much before the holiday, and some fruit prices have risen slightly. At present, the wholesale price of apple is about 2 yuan / jin to 3.5 yuan / Jin, strawberry 12 yuan / jin to 17 yuan / Jin, oranges 2.5 yuan / jin to 3.5 yuan / Jin. In addition, sugar tangerine rose to 5 yuan / kg, watermelon rose from 3 yuan / kg before the festival to 3.5 yuan / Jin. Mr. Dong, head of Ji'nan de Qiang Fruit Co., Ltd., said that the sales volume was largely reduced because the fruit of the household reserves had not been eaten, and the demand was not purchased. Secondly, fruit is not a necessity, and many of the purchases before the festival are gifts, so the sales volume after the holiday is greatly reduced. In addition, Mr. Dong said that because apples, pears, oranges and other popular fruit are easy to store, traders are not eager to sell them, and these kinds of fruit are more popular with the general public, so the price will rise again. There are only half the vendors in the fruit market, which is estimated to be all in place after fifteen months, and sales will rise significantly, said a head of fruit wholesale market in
. In addition, mango, pineapple, lychee and other fruits will be listed in large quantities in recent years. The hot sale of new fruit varieties may bring fruit prices down.
