What about the future trend?
Since the second half of this year, the price of onion and ginger has risen rapidly. In November, the average wholesale price of ginger nationwide was 14.08 yuan per kilogram, which increased for 5 consecutive months and reached the highest level in 6 years, up 75% year-on-year.
Recently, as the quantity of new ginger on the market has increased, the price has begun to fall slightly.
The average wholesale price of green onions in November was 4.56 yuan per kilogram, rising for 7 consecutive months.
Tang Ke said that green onion and ginger, as a condiment vegetable, accounted for a relatively small proportion of the total vegetable production and sales. Price fluctuations will not change the overall situation of sufficient supply of vegetables in my country. However, there is a certain rigidity in the consumption of onion and ginger, and the production areas of these varieties are concentrated and resistant. Strong reserves can easily lead to capital speculation and aggravate cyclical fluctuations in prices.
