The price of fruit is soaring. Why is 20 19 fruit so expensive?

20 19 The price of fruit has skyrocketed. As a person who can take fruit as a staple food, I also have a deep understanding. As far as my favorite fruit apple is concerned, my area is Shandong, which can be regarded as the origin of apples. But this year, every time I go to the morning market to buy apples, I find that the same apples are a few dollars more than in previous years. Many customers around are also talking about it. Apples are much more expensive this year.

Even the fruit farmers who sell apples admit that apples are much more expensive this year. Why did the fruit that was suitable in previous years become more expensive this year? Let me analyze the following reasons:

1, weather reason. Weather plays a vital role in the growth of fruits. On the other hand, the extremely cold weather in the late spring of 20 18 led to the continuous low temperature last spring, and strong winds often blew in the north in March and April, which made many fruit trees bloom and the fruit setting rate further decreased. Apples, pears, grapes and other fruits that bloom in spring and bear fruit in autumn are all affected, resulting in large-scale production reduction. Some people may not understand how the reduction of 20 18 fruit production affects the price increase of 20 19 fruit. In fact, some fruits we eat now, such as my favorite apples, are all in stock last year, and there is still a period of time before new fruits come on the market, so the price increase is inevitable.

2. Human factors. In recent years, the price of fruit has been declining, which has seriously affected the enthusiasm of fruit farmers to grow fruit. In some places, there has even been a serious unsalable fruit, which has caused many fruits to be thrown away and rotted, which has brought great losses to the income of fruit farmers. As a result, fruit farmers have reduced the fruit planting area in a large area, which has reduced the national fruit planting area and led to a decline in fruit production.

3. Logistics reasons. Because of the particularity of fruit, it is different from the transportation of general food. In order to maintain the original fresh quality of fruits, some even need a whole cold chain. The improvement of transportation standards and the rise of logistics costs will inevitably push up the price of fruits. Because the price of fruit in the hands of consumers will naturally be much more expensive.

In view of the above reasons, 20 19 fruit will be much more expensive than in previous years. Although the price is expensive, the fruit is fresh and nutritious, which is reassuring. Compared with these, the price can go up and down, but also depends on the cost of fruit.
