Affected by the cold weather, the price of vegetables has risen slightly at present. Even some time ago, the price of green onions rose because of rising all the way, which also made many citizens take corresponding feedback. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs responded to the recent increase in vegetable prices. What is the reason for the increase in vegetable prices?

Affected by extreme weather

At present, the sudden increase in vegetable prices is directly related to extreme weather, because the rainfall in the northern vegetable producing areas is obviously large this year, which leads to a lot of damage to vegetables in autumn. When a large number of vegetables in China are seriously damaged, it will also lead to a shortage of vegetables, which will eventually lead to a sharp increase in vegetable prices. Although there is a slight increase in vegetables in China, the state should also carry out macro-control accordingly to stabilize vegetables in a suitable range, thus ensuring people's daily life.

Increased market demand

New Year's Day and Spring Festival are coming soon, so it will also stimulate the major shopping malls accordingly. Because the purchasing power of these two festivals will also be greatly improved, people will also hoard a lot of goods, which will also lead to a substantial increase in market demand during this period, thus promoting the increase in vegetable prices. In fact, this situation will occur every year, and it will gradually fade after the end of the year.

Affected by the epidemic

Although China has a large territory, there are few major provinces that export vegetables. Affected by the epidemic this year, some cities will make reserves. In this series of cases, it will also affect vegetable production. In addition, some areas need greenhouses to produce vegetables, and there has also been a power shortage this year, and the production capacity of vegetable bases will naturally be affected accordingly. In the case of reduced vegetables, prices will naturally rise slightly.

From the above three points, we can see that the sudden increase in vegetable prices in China is mainly caused by these three reasons. However, this situation is mostly temporary. As long as it is eased, the price of vegetables will slowly pick up.
