Recently, many people complain that fruit is too expensive to eat! In fact, Xiaobian has the same feeling. This year, the price of fruit is too high! Many people have expressed that why the price of fruit is more and more expensive? What is the reason for the sharp rise in the price of fruit this year? Next, let's learn about the reasons for the rise in the price of fruit.
The price of fruit rose sharply
It is reported that the rise in fruit prices is mainly affected by climate factors, resulting in the reduction of production of some fruit categories, which is caused by the imbalance between supply and demand. The high temperature and rainy weather in Guangdong, Guangxi and other litchi producing areas also have a great impact on the yield. According to guangming.com, some orchards harvested 700000 Jin of litchi last year, but this year it is expected to be less than 2000 Jin. Pinduoduo's relevant person in charge said that under the influence of 'late spring cold', the price of Apple also increased significantly. Weinan, an important apple producing area, had a large overall reduction in production. The price of bagged fruit in March this year was three times higher than that in previous years.
Reasons for fruit price increase
Liu Aihua, a spokesman for the National Bureau of statistics, said on the 15th that the rise in the price of fresh vegetables and fruits was obviously affected by seasonal factors such as extreme weather. This seasonal short-term impact is unsustainable, and the rise in the price of fresh vegetables and fruits will not continue at a high level. On the whole, inflation will not rise sharply, and there is a solid foundation for stable prices.
As for why fruit prices are becoming more and more expensive, in addition to climate and cost factors, the overall increase in fruit prices is also driven by the increase in the proportion of high-end categories such as imports and organic fruits. Chilean cherries, Thai durian, New Zealand kiwifruit and other categories have been very common in various retail channels, and fruits with national characteristics have become frequent customers on the table.
