How does NDRC deal with the sharp rise in vegetable prices?

In August, the price of fresh vegetables increased by 1 1.7% year-on-year and 6.4% quarter-on-quarter. Meng Wei, spokesman of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the press conference on June 16 that the main reason for the increase in vegetable prices was adverse weather such as heavy rainfall and floods. In addition, with the alternation of summer and autumn and the upgrading of vegetables, the supply in some areas is tight, which has pushed up the price increase to some extent.

But the growth cycle of vegetables is relatively short. With the reduction of extreme weather in the later period, autumn vegetables are listed one after another, and the market supply is expected to recover in a short time, and the price of fresh vegetables will also fall accordingly.
