Is it true that Gansu apples cost 80 cents a catty?

The financial turmoil hurt Gansu fruit farmers: Apple 1 Jin 8 cents is nobody's business, which is true.

1 kg apple 8 cents nobody cares.

165438+1On the afternoon of October 2, Li Diaolai, a 52-year-old fruit farmer in Ma Po Village, Gangou Township, Jingning County, sat in his 5-mu orchard, sorting out mountains of apples. Li Diaolai told reporters helplessly that all his apples were sold out at this time last year, and I don't know what happened this year. For a whole month, no fruit merchant came to his orchard to buy apples. He was in a hurry, so he asked around about the price of fruit. As a result, apples are getting cheaper every day, and his heart is getting more and more flustered every day. If apples can't be sold, he can only store one-third of them in his cellar. And two-thirds of the apples have nowhere to store, so they can only watch them freeze as the weather gets cold.

Li Diaolai told reporters with heartache that in the past two days, the bad news about apples at 80 cents a catty reached his ears. At first, he couldn't accept it. Later, when he saw that the mountains of apples had not been sold, he made up his mind to sell some apples at a price of 1 kg. Who knows, after a few days, a fruit seller will not come and buy it at such a low price.

Diao Li smiled when he mentioned the sales of Apple last year. He said that in September last year, his apples were still growing on trees, and the fruit seller had ordered apples at home. 75 apples (in mm) are 1 kg 3 yuan money, 70 apples are 1 kg 2.5 yuan money, and 65 apples are 1 kg 2 yuan money, even if there is no good goods. But this year, let alone someone "grabbed" his second apple, even the 70-year-old apple 1 kg 1.5 yuan was left out in the cold.

The reporter then saw in an interview with the orchards in Chengguan Township and Rongwei Township of Jingning County that due to more natural disasters this year, hail left a special mark on Jingning apples. Although the apples are sweet and delicious and the flesh is firm, there are scars on the "face" of the apples, and the fruit sellers no longer smell the "scars". However, Yang Zhihong, a fruit grower in Roewe Town, has a different view. He said that no one can understand the scarred apples caused by natural disasters, but no one wants a good apple without scars. He really doesn't know what's wrong with the Apple market.

The sales channel is interrupted, and Apple is unsalable.

Zhong Zhang, a fruit seller who buys apples in Jingning all the year round, thinks that since most foreign investors who buy apples in Jingning are Sichuan fruit sellers, few Sichuan fruit sellers came to Jingning to order apples this year after the Wenchuan earthquake, and the sudden interruption of this road of exporting apples directly affected the sales of apples in Jingning.

The reporter learned that 30% of the apples produced in nearly one million mu of apple orchards in Jingning are sold domestically and 70% are exported, but this year's export channels are not optimistic. Li Yulin, a fruit broker, told reporters that the credit crisis in the United States is also an important reason that affects the sales of Jingning apples. Now, these fruit sellers "stay put" and watch the economic news on TV every day, for fear that the price of apples bought at "low price" will suddenly drop before they are sold, so they dare not buy a large number of apples.

Regarding the purchase price of Apple this year, Li Yulin told reporters that the average purchase price of Apple is lower than that of last year by more than half. Among them, the decline in the price of Apple is even worse. Last year, the worst apple 1 catty was completely robbed by fruit sellers, and this year, no one wanted apple 1 catty.

The impact of financial turmoil

165438+1On the morning of October 3, the reporter interviewed Wang Brick, director of Jingning County Fruit Bureau, about the sales of Jingning apples. He told reporters that the poor sales of Jingning apples were affected by the financial turmoil. At present, all apple export ports in China are closed, and 60% to 70% of Jingning apples are exported. At present, none of the export enterprises is willing to buy apples, and Jingning has a backlog of 230,000 tons of apples, which directly causes Jingning apples to lose hundreds of millions of yuan.

Director Wang Zhuan told the reporter that in order to minimize the loss of fruit farmers, the Fruit Bureau adopted the method of bundling sales between enterprises and fruit farmers, that is, mobilizing large enterprises with the ability to store apples, temporarily storing apples of fruit farmers, and after the apples are sold by fruit farmers, enterprises charge a certain storage management fee, and fruit farmers take the sales price to solve the current situation of a large backlog of apples.
