cucumber with dew is even more green. Good looking, the price may be higher.
and Li three come in the town of Qu dike, which is famous all over the country with the largest cucumber wholesale market in the country. There are more than ten villages in the whole town to grow cucumbers as the main industry. Since 1996, the winter warm cucumber sheds have been developed. The turnover of cucumber is over 1 billion yuan each year. The maximum number of cucumbers is 1 million kg, which is supplied to Ji'nan, Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Baoding and other places.
8 o'clock on the morning of 9, Li Sanlai drove the tractor and his hair was tied up by dew. His trouser legs were still hanging and stained with a piece of loess. Before the car stopped, he jumped out and inquired about the day's market.
"41 Fen Jin, sell all!" "61 Fen Jin, single pick!"... The villagers conveys the day's market verbally, with the sigh of everyone.
"yesterday also sold 6 wool," 51 "has been in the price of a piece of money! How to say it fell off! " Some of Li Sanlai did not understand. "
" or "selling together is more cost-effective, not to pick and choose, but also to reduce the weight." After calculating, Li San's more than 600 kilograms of cucumbers sold at a price of 0.4 yuan / Jin. Of course, when the money is collected, the people in the market clearing center will draw a certain management fee according to the ratio of 0.02 yuan / Jin.
Li Sanlai told reporters that although vegetable prices were a little high this year, they did not earn much. Even a shed was not as profitable as last year. He said that this year's earnings decline, in addition to low production, there is another important reason, that is, the cost of vegetable production has increased significantly.

It was used to keep the cold straw mats, each 2 meters long, and 1 more than 1 last year. This year, it rose to more than 3, and the grass mats have risen more.

9 days, in the Qu dike cucumber wholesale market, under the recommendation of several vegetable farmers, the reporter met a big dealer surnamed Yan. It is called a big distributor, not only because he receives a large quantity of goods every day, but also because his bid is relatively high, which has great temptation to ordinary vegetable farmers. In addition, for nearly 10 years, he has a special warehouse in the market and employs a group of local women who are responsible for picking and loading of cucumbers.
like most dealers, Lao Yan sleeps 35 hours every night, receives goods during the day, loads the car at night, and then goes on. Those who send to Ji'nan can leave in the middle of the night and send to other provinces. They need to calculate the time and arrive at the local wholesale market in the early morning.
from Jiyang's Qudi town to the Seven Mile Fort market in Ji'nan, it takes about 2 hours if driving at night. Speaking of the high vegetable prices this year, Lao Yan said, "there is no way to raise money. We can only follow the market."
according to his analysis, from the wholesale market of Qu dike to the seven Liebao market in Ji'nan, it is about seventy or eighty kilometers. According to the 30 liters of diesel fuel per hundred kilometers, this one will get more than 270 yuan for oil money, and one trip is forty or fifty yuan more than that of last year. Then I have to go through several toll stations, and I have to add 100 yuan to the bridge toll.
in addition, labor costs also increased significantly. A small worker used to open 30 yuan a day, and now no one wants to do 50 yuan a day. Add to the two markets (Qu dike and seven Liebao) management fees, to pay the road to the motorcade, insurance and repair and other costs, "on average, the cost of a Jin is plus two or three cents, to get my personal time cost, we pull a jin of vegetables, we can see a few cents profit, a Jin made 10 Fen, It's a very good time. "
this, 40 Fen a jin of cucumber, and shipped to the seven Libao vegetable wholesale market in Ji'nan, the price changes into 0.8 yuan / Jin, up to 100%.
