Will extreme weather and drought this year lead to an increase in food and vegetable prices?

Extreme weather will lead to an increase in food and vegetable prices, but the increase should be controllable. According to the change of market supply and demand, the prices of grain and vegetables are also changing reasonably. When the imbalance between supply and demand exceeds demand, the price increase is a normal market law.

There is no doubt that extreme weather will lead to drought in many places, which will lead to an increase in food prices and vegetable prices. The hot weather this summer is obvious in all parts of the country. In this long-term high temperature weather, crops in many areas have been seriously affected and drought has occurred, especially in some areas of the Yangtze River Basin. This is the critical period of corn and rice production, and drought will undoubtedly affect the yield of food crops. Autumn grain exceeding 65.438+0.3 billion mu is likely to reduce production.

Vegetables have encountered the same problem. The growth of vegetables in some areas is affected by long-term high temperature and dry weather, and the transportation, storage and loss of vegetables are affected under extreme weather conditions. According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the average wholesale price of vegetables in July increased by 19.9% month-on-month and by 2 1.3% year-on-year.

The price increase of vegetables is visible, and once the autumn grain production is reduced, the price increase of autumn grain is also foreseeable. If the dry weather continues, the price of vegetables and food may increase even more.

The price increase of vegetables and food should be controlled. As people's livelihood food, both food price and vegetable price will seriously affect people's quality of life. Once the prices of grain and vegetables rise, the state will definitely take measures to control them.

This also means that although the price increase of vegetables and grain is a foregone conclusion, the increase should not be too outrageous and should be within the controllable range of the state, so don't worry too much.

At present, the continuous high temperature and dry weather not only causes the price of grain and vegetables to rise, but also causes the power shortage to some extent. For ordinary people, it is something that each of us can do with our heart to cherish food and vegetables, not to spoil waste and pay attention to saving electricity in our daily life. As long as everyone works together in Qi Xin, the problem will be solved.
