How to do fruit business

I have also done fruit business, from Hong Kong in the south to Shenyang in the north, and most of them are sold to Xuzhou.

Fresh fruit business is not so easy to do. Due to the influence of weather and climate, I used to watch tens of thousands of kilograms of oranges rot in Hong Kong, which was particularly warm that winter.

1, what you see is only the superficial phenomenon-"the apples on the fruit stand can be sold for more than three times", and the retail price is much higher than the wholesale price, not to mention your purchase price.

2, freight, I don't know Gansu to Wuhan, Nanchang to Shenzhen, 900 kilometers of freight, the total freight 1.8 cents/kg, this is still the price of your own car. If you don't press the car, you have to find a reliable freight company, and the price is higher.

3. The market price of fresh fruit is changing every day. The basic principle of economics is that the supply is in short supply, the price is high, and the supply is in short supply, and the price will definitely come down.

Generally speaking, you collect a catty of fruit from farmers, plus your freight and other expenses, and then resell it. The difference, which is what we call profit, is as good as 30 cents.

Thank you for your reply in advance. I'm really glad that for the first time, someone posted it so early. In fact, I'm still a newly graduated college student, and I don't have much business experience. Some are just other people's experiences from books or online. But I have found a job in marketing now, but I know myself and it has always been my wish to do something by myself. But as Heaulme said, all business should follow the market rules. If supply exceeds demand, prices will fall; If supply exceeds demand, prices will rise. However, many things still depend on ourselves, and we must work hard and feel by ourselves. I will continue this post. I also hope that brothers who want to do fruit business or are ready to do business will discuss it enthusiastically. I also hope that friends who have done this will give us more opinions for our reference.

There is also the problem of preservation that many friends talked about just now. Here's the question. In our country, apples are usually in the harvest season. Every farmer picks it first and stores it in a simple adobe cellar built at home, waiting for customers to buy it.

In addition, there are many locals who build large vaults for foreign customers and then charge a certain fee. Of course, if we start to do it, I think my dad should first unite with other farmers in the fruit harvest season, then sell it quickly at a low price, and then build more cars, and then build a fruit bank in that place around Wuhan to solve the problem of preservation. Of course, this is just an idea of mine, and it is still a question whether it can be done in the future. Now, only by accurately predicting the market and selling at a low price quickly can we solve the problem of value preservation. There are still many questions I want to ask some friends who are doing fruit business in Wuhan. The fruit wholesale market in Wuhan is better than that in Hu Sha or Hankou. How much is the freight from Gansu (Qingyang) to Wuhan (how much is a catty)? Does the bus for Guangzhou pass through Wuhan? .
