Why have vegetable prices soared this year?

1. The supply of vegetables is unsaleable. Due to the rainy weather in most parts of our country this year, major vegetable producing areas in the north such as Henan, Shandong, and Hebei have been affected by heavy rains. In addition, many places have suffered Flood disaster. Continuous rainstorms have drowned vegetable fields, causing damage to vegetables in many places and reducing yields. In addition, since the beginning of autumn, cold air has hit, and hailstorms have occurred in some areas, causing devastating damage to vegetables. The leaves were smashed by the blow. As a result, production has been reduced, picking has been inconvenient, and transportation costs have also increased. 2. The influence of weather Vegetables are different from grains. Most vegetables are fresh and good, and price fluctuations are also customized according to the weather. The production and sowing of vegetables are extremely susceptible to seasonal factors and weather. After the weather turns cooler in the north, the supply of vegetables is relatively tight, and most of them rely on greenhouse cultivation. Seasonal fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes are in short supply and prices will rise accordingly. Especially since there is so little supply of greenhouse spinach on the market now, the price of spinach is so high now. 3. The rise in vegetable prices due to the epidemic is also caused by the epidemic. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the country has implemented a comprehensive blockade to control the epidemic. Generally speaking, farmers’ markets in the north mostly rely on vegetable supplies transported from the south. However, due to the control of the epidemic, transportation roads have been blocked, transportation costs have increased, and supply is insufficient, which has led to a sharp increase in vegetable prices. In order to maintain the freshness of vegetables, the transportation costs of vegetables can only be increased. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that vegetables are so expensive now. strange. Why do vegetable farmers still say they can't make money when the price of vegetables increases? Some netizens reported that although vegetable prices are soaring, most vegetable farmers still report that they are not making any money. Why is this? According to relevant reporter reports, most of the vegetables that have increased in price are mainly greenhouse vegetables, and there are not many seasonal vegetables. Most of these farmers who grow vegetables have more land to grow. In addition, this year has been plagued by disasters. What a difficult year. According to previous practice, it should take anywhere from thirty to fifty days for the vegetables to grow after being planted in mid-August, and then harvested in September or October. However, this year, the vegetables that were just planted have already been harvested. The floods have resulted in no production and no way to supply the vegetable market, so we can only go to the south to purchase goods. But everyone knows the market situation in the vegetable market this year. In the past, what could be purchased for one or two yuan has now increased four or five times. If you are a little late, you won't be able to grab it. In addition, the price of vegetables has skyrocketed, and people have begun to choose not to eat such expensive vegetables. Now they eat whatever is cheap. In the past, a cart of spinach was sold out in one day, but now it takes two or three days to sell out. This also shows that now ordinary people know that the price of spinach has increased, and it has increased quite a lot, so many people will choose slightly cheaper vegetables after hesitation. I heard from current vegetable farmers that many vegetable fields are out of spinach. Now they can still make some money with the spinach that survived before. This money is also a reward from God. Now many vegetable farmers in the Northeast are taking advantage of this to increase their prices like crazy. If there hadn't been a natural disaster here this year, would these vegetable vendors have been able to travel all the way to the Northeast to buy vegetables? Nowadays, vegetable farmers rely on God for their livelihood, but no one can predict what will happen in the future due to uncontrollable factors such as the weather. A professor from the College of Agriculture of Henan University also made relevant remarks, saying that this year our vegetable farmers in Henan are losing money because of the weather, while the vegetable farmers in the Northeast are making money because of the weather.
