　　Chinanews Client, December 24th. On December 24th, Tang Ke, Director of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Villages, introduced at the press conference that the domestic agricultural product market is expected to remain stable next year, especially during the New Year’s Day and Spring Festival. The supply of key varieties of “rice bag” and “vegetable basket” is sufficient and rich in varieties. The common people will not be short of food or oil, or lack of meat or vegetables.

With the support of holiday consumption and increased production and distribution costs, the overall price of agricultural products is expected to fluctuate seasonally, but the possibility of a sharp increase is unlikely. It is necessary to continue to pay attention to the impact of low temperature, rain and snow, and the epidemic on the normal production and sales of agricultural products in the later period.
