retail prices vary significantly in different regions
This kind of high priced cabbage similar to gaodaowu is an individual phenomenon. According to the morning news, the reporter visited the market and found that although the vegetable prices in different regions and different channels vary, the overall vegetable prices are still stable.
Vegetable group is the manager of Shanghai’s main Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) wholesale trading market. The recent transaction volume and transaction price of vegetables in wholesale channels provided by it show that the transaction volume decreased due to nucleic acid screening and killing in the market on the 22nd and 23rd of this month, and the transaction volume has gradually recovered from the 24th; The overall fluctuation of vegetable prices is not obvious, but suburban vegetables rose slightly due to the change of supply and demand.

stabilize vegetable prices, all parties are taking action
In the face of vegetable price fluctuations, in addition to stabilizing the supply of goods in the wholesale market and ensuring supply, retail supermarkets and fresh e-commerce are also making efforts. Make efforts to stabilize vegetable prices by enriching choices and expanding channels.
According to Shangguan news report, the reporter noted that although some citizens reported that the price of green vegetables fluctuated greatly, the price of green vegetables has not changed significantly since the current round of epidemic on fresh e-commerce platforms such as HEMA, meituan and dingdong. For example, the vegetables sold by HEMA are 2.2 yuan for 400 grams per bag, which has remained stable for nearly a week.
The staff in charge of fresh food procurement of HEMA explained that this was because the platform connected to the base outside the province and stabilized the price through direct supply from the base. At present, HEMA supplies 500 tons of vegetables to the market every day, with about 260 varieties, half of which are connected with 50 or 60 local agricultural production cooperatives, and the other half with production bases in Shandong, Yunnan and other places. Direct purchase and delivery at the base can avoid abnormal price increase in intermediate links, so as to ensure supply and stabilize prices.
According to the person in charge of purchasing meituan’s vegetables, the vegetables sold in Shanghai mainly come from three production areas. Among them, Yunnan production area provides sectorau leafy vegetables such as baby cabbage, mustard and milk cabbage, Shandong production area provides rhizome vegetables such as white radish, carrot, eggplant and tomato, melon and eggplant, and bases around Shanghai supply regional characteristic vegetables such as green vegetables and chicken feather vegetables.
These production bases cooperate with each other and can stably supply vegetables to the Shanghai market. Even when some products are in shortage or prices rise, there are other varieties to choose from.
Ding Dong also insists on direct collection of vegetables from the origin. According to the person in charge of procurement, the platform cooperates with more than 100 planting bases across the country and has three agricultural demonstration parks. Recently, these bases and demonstration parks are the supply bases of Shanghai market. From the perspective of recent procurement, the supply of Eggplant and fruit vegetables is basically not affected; In terms of leafy vegetables, due to the shortage of harvesting personnel in some vegetable bases in East China due to epidemic prevention and control, the supply will be reduced slightly and the price will fluctuate in the short term. However, with the support of vegetable sources in other regions, the supply volume is generally sufficient and the price will fall.
