Why is the price of vegetables so expensive this autumn?

The main reasons for the increase in vegetable prices are as follows:

1. Because Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei have been affected by heavy rains in different degrees, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei are the sources of vegetable supply in most parts of China, and many vegetables have been submerged due to the impact of heavy rains, which has seriously reduced the output of vegetables.

2. With the cold weather, the supply of vegetables is shifting from north to south, and from open-air vegetables to protected vegetables. However, from late September to early October, during this period, there was more rain in the main vegetable producing areas, and the planting, growth, picking and storage of vegetables were affected to varying degrees. The vegetable market is generally delayed, and the yield is poor, which leads to the shortage of vegetable supply.

3. Extreme weather occurred in northern China in the critical period of vegetable growth this autumn, and the temperature this year was much lower than that in the same period of last year, which was not conducive to the growth of vegetables, resulting in slow growth of various vegetables and prolonged harvest period.

4. Due to the recent continuous increase in automobile oil prices, the prices of gasoline and diesel oil have increased, and the way of transporting vegetables is mostly operated by large trucks, and the transportation cost will increase at that time.

5. A certain amount of hype, because the northern part of the vegetable producing area suffered from floods and low temperatures, the supply of vegetables decreased, and some vendors deliberately raised prices, which led to the increase in vegetable prices.
