Why are apples so expensive?

Hehe, my friend, the question you raised touched a hot spot, which was very good and powerful. Since the beginning of this year, fruit prices have generally risen due to the impact of national price increases. Fuji, Guoguang, rock candy hearts and other kinds of apples, the price of first-class bagged apples rose from last year's 7 yuan to 9 yuan, 10 yuan, especially Jingning's rock candy hearts, which are notoriously expensive and the worst six-fruit (the diameter of apples is 6.5cm). Hehe, it costs 4 or 5 yuan a catty, and the price in the supermarket is 10 yuan. Ping Shenma? There are several main reasons. 1, the supply is tight. Since the beginning of this year, the bad weather has reduced the output of many major fruit producing areas. In addition, the price of refined oil has risen and the transportation cost has risen. For a period of time, the profit from selling fruits was negligible, which led to the shortage of goods in the producing areas. 2. The purchase price is high. Of course, there are also some fruit farmers' psychological thoughts and expectations. The cost of apple is affected by various factors of rising prices and has been rising continuously. On June 5438+ 10, when the fruit came down, the purchase price directly in the farmer's orchard was 60,70,80 cents. Later, all the apple collectors lined up in the field, dressed in cars with cash, and got on the bus without inspection. Within a month, the purchase price rose to 2 yuan. Fruit farmers are also shouting, hire a fruit picker and drop 70 a day. Who are you looking for? There is such a joke. At the beginning of the acquisition, some people sold their apples for seventy or eighty cents. Some people laugh at him for being stupid and say that you don't want to give you 1.5 yuan. As a result, the purchase price rose every day, and finally rose to 2 yuan. People around him laughed at his stupidity. All fruit farmers have a psychology of waiting, that is, rising. 3. Under the background of loose monetary policy and excess liquidity, the price of apple was pushed up in a short time because a large amount of liquidity entered the field of apple circulation. In the case of large fluctuations in the prices of agricultural products in the country, funds from different channels began to intervene in the field of Apple, which is the main reason for the rapid rise of Apple. Everyone has seen this situation. People who used to sell pigs and chickens, even people from different industries, joined in and invested a lot of money to make apples. It is worth noting that loans are very convenient now, and there are too many people with hundreds of millions or billions. Many people have accumulated mature investment experience in minerals, real estate and capital markets, gradually discovered the long-term upward trend of agricultural products prices, and began to intervene in agricultural products, and tasted the sweetness, because in this field, the state control means are basically useless. Apples, like rice, cooking oil, cotton, garlic and ginger, are a kind of speculation. Everyone cooks together and shares fruit. The growing ability to store apples in the circulation field is another reason for the price increase of apples. At present, the number and scale of cold storage in various places are several times that in previous years. Apples are resistant to storage and are the easiest to store in cold storage. So businessmen all over the country stepped up their snapping up, scrambling to hoard apples in cold storage, and many people injected their own blood and waited for the harvest. At the same time, in the circulation link, a lot of costs have been increased. Now find a small worker who packs and delivers goods, and his salary is more than 70 yuan a day. The storage cost per catty of apples in cold storage will increase from 1.5 yuan to 25 yuan. In the wholesale market, the number of large plastic baskets for apples has increased from 4 yuan to 6 yuan, while other cartons, plastic bags and handling fees have all increased. Now it seems that apples, like other agricultural products, are stuck at both ends and laugh in the middle. Most of the apples in many people's hands are locked at a relatively high purchase price. According to the sales of fruits during the last two festivals, it will increase in the short term. So everyone agrees that the price of Apple will continue to rise next year, and they can make a lot of money from it. Now everyone is waiting for the Spring Festival to buy a good price. But is this really the case? Not necessarily. The market is like a battlefield. Everyone is saving how many apples a person can store. In other words, three or four cold stores can't control the market and drive the overall situation, and they will appear on New Year's Day. As long as the big family moves, others can't be idle. In addition, the consumption of apples is limited every year. After the New Year, money is tight, and the circulating funds in the field of agricultural products have turned. There's basically no point in continuing. There is a precedent for this. For a time, some agricultural products soared, but sales declined. Have you noticed that this thing takes up too long a capital cycle and increases the risk? You have to wait for those who are rushing to buy apples to eat with a lot of money, and you have to have some strength. One mountain is still high, and the big family is hot early. Now hoarding a ton of garlic is a loss of 400 thousand. Give some advice to those who want to occupy the public interest. There is laughter when you cry.
