The price of "Cherry Tomatoes" in Ji'nan is the highest in history
with the hot weather, whether it's a fruit shop or a vegetable stall, you can see the figure of Cherry Tomatoes. Cherry Tomatoes is also known by the common people as small tomatoes, but this year, many consumers who love to eat small tomatoes found that the price of this little tomato is too expensive this year, higher than the price of tropical fruit on the market.
small tomatoes, though small
the aristocratic
reporter visited many markets in the provincial capital yesterday. The main Cherry Tomatoes in the provincial market is the Millennium fruit, the red fruit of the woman, the double joy fruit and the ganoderma. Among them, the Millennium fruit is most popular and the price is the highest because of its small size and better taste. According to the reporter's survey data, the latest two The retail price of the Millennium fruit is usually 6 - 7 yuan per Jin.
a fruit store in the Middle District of the province, pineapple 3 yuan / Jin, 4 yuan / jin of apple, 4 yuan per jin of mango and 6.5 yuan per kilo of the Millennium fruit. Compared with the other fruit on the stall, the small Cherry Tomatoes has become a nobleman. Is the fruit shop Liu told reporters, I love to eat Cherry Tomatoes, every year to buy a couple of pounds of love at this time to go home to eat, but did not dare to buy this year, "before a pound of only three dollars, now 67 dollars, this price is too much."
it is understood that Cherry Tomatoes is not listed in spring. The annual lunar calendar October, most varieties of Cherry Tomatoes can be picked, but because of low cold weather sales so little on the market, a real large number of listed, from the end of the second year of the lunar February start.
the wholesale price is close to 5 yuan / kg
more than twice last year's
reporter learned yesterday from the Ji'nan dike market that there were less than 10 wholesale Cherry Tomatoes merchants, among which the most popular Millennium fruits were mainly from the provinces of Dong'e, Jiyang, Shouguang and other places.
Mr. Lou Lou, a millennium fruit wholesaler from Dong'e, Liaocheng, said that when the lunar calendar was just listed at the end of February, the wholesale price per Jin was around 3 yuan, and the weather was warmer to 3.7 yuan per Jin. In fact, the price will last for 35 days, and the price will go down as the listing volume increases and the temperature rises. I didn't think that this year was a little abnormal.
Millennium fruit wholesale price started from 3 yuan, after a month, the price not only did not decline as expected, but continued to rise, the wholesale price up to 3.8 yuan, by the end of April, the Millennium fruit wholesale price has reached 4.5 yuan / Jin, during the May 1st period due to the increase of holiday demand, the Millennium fruit batch The price is up to 4.8 yuan per kilo.
old Lou recalls that, in the same period of the same period last year, the wholesale price of the Millennium fruit was generally stable at about 2 yuan per Jin after the brief high price of the early stage of the market. Even when the price was the highest, the wholesale price of the Jin was only 3.5 yuan, and this year the price was more than doubled over the same period last year. "I have been selling the Millennium fruit for so many years, and in May it was such a high price that it was the first time in the new year."
when the fruit was set up, the cold air
yield was reduced by more than half by more than
"this millennium fruit production is half more than half." Old Lou comes from a new Jubilee plantation in Dong'e, Liaocheng, which is quite familiar with the harvest of the local thousand Jubilee. He said that the Millennium fruit on the market is now planted before the end of September last year. The Millennium fruit takes forty days from flowering to fruit, and a cold air comes to freeze the flowers when the Millennium fruit comes. The output has fallen sharply.
it is understood that fruit setting is the prerequisite for the formation of agricultural products. "The fruit setting rate is too low, a tree is too fruiting, the yield is low, the fruit setting rate is too high, the fruit is small, the quality is poor, and it is not good." He told reporters that the Millennium fruit planted by local farmers could reach 1000 Jin when the output of the millennium was the highest in previous years, even if it was bad, there were about 600 Jin, but this year only 200 Jin. And because of the frost cut by half of the fruit when the fruit is cut, it is still a good fortune for the farmers, and the Millennium fruit of some farmers is directly extinct, and the farmers have to make a flat and replant other agricultural products.
Lao Lou told reporters that since the price of Millennium fruit has increased, sales have also become very poor. "The previous day can sell 5000 Jin, a pull of goods in the morning, a group of people round up and robbing, now good, five or six days to sell the amount of the previous day, no matter the size vendors, all come into the goods, now different, a little large size to come to purchase, small stall vendors are not coming, are afraid of too high prices into a batch of goods do not sell Go out and smash all your hands. "
and because of the serious reduction in production, although the price of Millennium fruit is twice as high as that of last year, the income of farmers decreased sharply. Take old Lou's one thousand Jubilee village in Dong'e, Liaocheng, as an example. Last year, a thousand Jubilee farmers had a greenhouse income of about 15000 yuan, and the best one this year was only 7000 yuan.
can you eat
according to the usual practice of the past year, the price of fruit will rise slightly, so the price of Cherry Tomatoes in the market is normal at six or seven yuan per Jin. After the holidays, most of the fruit prices will drop, so can we still eat cheap Cherry Tomatoes this year?
interview, for this problem, the Cherry Tomatoes wholesaler in the fruit market of the dike's fruit market share the same voice, this year the Cherry Tomatoes price will not be as cheap as in the past. It is understood that the lowest price of Cherry Tomatoes is usually around July in the Gregorian calendar, when the wholesale price can be as low as 0.5 yuan / Jin, and the retail price is about 1 yuan.
but most wholesalers say that this year because of Cherry Tomatoes's reduction in production, it will be good to get the fruit to the place of origin. After May 1, the price will certainly fall down, but it is almost impossible for the citizens to expect to eat a Cherry Tomatoes that is so cheap in previous years.
