"The price of tomatoes was higher in the first two weeks and has come down this week.". Li Dahai is a tomato wholesaler in a new place of origin in Beijing. He told interface news that affected by the epidemic, the logistics and transportation costs from non epidemic areas to Beijing increased by 10% - 20%. Wholesalers will transfer this increase to the wholesale price of products, which increased the wholesale price of tomatoes by 0.2 yuan, but the increase may be relatively high at the terminal.
Another wholesaler of special dishes (okra, asparagus, etc.) in Xinfadi, Beijing, said that the overall market is tight this year. The epidemic in Beijing since the Spring Festival has affected so far, and the buyers of many restaurants and restaurants have decreased. The trend of reduced demand makes them afraid to raise prices too much in the wholesale link.
The vegetable price index of Beijing Xinfadi on April 8 showed that the weighted average price of vegetables in Xinfadi market was 4.34 yuan / kg, down 2.03% from 4.43 yuan / kg on April 1; It was 63.77% higher than 2.65 yuan / kg in the same period last year. The circumferential ratio decreased slightly; It rose sharply year-on-year.
The reason why vegetable prices remain high is still that "there are vegetables in the field and it is difficult to logistics".
In some major vegetable producing areas, it is difficult to sell vegetables due to the sealing and control of the epidemic situation, and some vegetables have been abandoned; In the main sales area of vegetables, due to the difficulty of logistics, there is the phenomenon of expensive vegetables. However, by April 11, some producing areas in Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong and other places had begun to unseal. The acquisition process of Xinfadi merchants was smooth, and the supply capacity of vegetables in the market was slowly recovering. It is expected that vegetable prices will begin to fall in the next few weeks.
The above procurement problems are also transmitted to the procurement of retail stores and fresh e-commerce. The person in charge of dingdong shopping told the interface news that the epidemic situation in the market or place of origin has indeed led to problems such as rising freight and difficult export of goods from the place of origin.
However, the current purchasing end of dingdong vegetables in North China has not been greatly affected, because most leafy vegetables are directly collected from the origin / base, with sufficient supply and integration. "At present, the overall traffic in North China is relatively smooth. Some areas may have relevant control due to the epidemic situation. As a key guarantee and supply enterprise, we will feed back in time, ensure the point-to-point delivery from the origin to the large warehouse through relevant procedures, and manage the transportation link in a closed loop." Ding Dong said to buy vegetables.
At present, the problem of difficulty in selling vegetables in producing areas is also gradually alleviated.
According to the report of Sanlian Life Weekly, in early April, many agricultural cooperatives in Shouguang, Shandong Province sold or even abandoned vegetables at a low price because they could not sell vegetables. On March 25, a case of asymptomatic infection occurred in Shouguang, which led to the closure of the largest Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) Logistics Park. Then, the local epidemic control upgraded and the transportation capacity became tense.
By April 14, the problem was almost solved. According to Shandong shouguangrong media center, in order to do a good job in the export of vegetables during the epidemic, Shouguang multi departments have jointly formulated the management measures for vegetable transport vehicles. All qualified foreign vegetable transport vehicles are reported in advance, and the pass is handled online. After the vehicles arrive, they can be quickly inspected and released. For example, in Jitai Town, Shouguang City, each vegetable cooperative has specially arranged a truck leader. The leader of each market leads the vehicle to the designated Vegetable Cooperative quickly and completes all loading tasks in the designated cooperative. The truck driver did not contact the cooperative personnel in the whole process, so he loaded and left immediately.
A person in charge of fresh e-commerce procurement analyzed to the interface news that this year, because of the epidemic, many goods from different producing areas could not be exported, mainly due to traffic problems, so the land price of some producing areas decreased, but the sales place was not so fast, and the goods from some producing areas could not come out, resulting in certain changes in the supply and demand of goods. On the other hand, the main vegetable procurement now depends on the southern origin, resulting in higher overall sales in the north than in the south in terms of transportation costs.
In the southern market, the prices of vegetables in the place of origin and sales fell more Shenzhen Agricultural Products Group Co.Ltd(000061) market analysis platform "true sweet agriculture" monitoring data show that on April 14, the overall index of vegetable price in Yunnan Province fell sharply. In particular, leafy vegetables fell first. For example, spinach fell by 40%, down 2 yuan / kg; Mustard, spring vegetables and Shanghai green vegetables decreased by about 20%.
This downward trend spread to the sales area of Guangzhou. On April 14, spinach also ranked first in the decline of Jiangnan market in Guangzhou, down 31%, down 1.6 yuan / kg; Green pepper followed, down 30%, down 1.2 yuan / kg. The sharp reduction in demand caused by the Guangzhou epidemic is the main reason for the decline in prices.
According to the above analysis of retailer procurement, vegetable prices will enter a stable stage only after the weather turns hot, a large number of vegetables in the north are listed, and the logistics and transportation caused by the epidemic are dredged.
