Cherries price cut in half!

Durian is "the most expensive year", a catty increase of 30 yuan

　　CCTV News: In the past few days, a video of robbing cherries has been very popular online.

The reporter recently visited the fruit market in Changzhou, Jiangsu. How has the price of cherries changed?

　　The reporter visited several fruit retail stores in downtown Changzhou and found that the most conspicuous position of each store was firmly occupied by cherries.

According to different specifications, the price of cherries ranges from RMB 30 to RMB 60 per catty.

　　Owner of a fruit retail store in Changzhou, Jiangsu: The price is good now, thirty or forty yuan a catty.

　　It is understood that cherries are generally listed at the beginning of November each year, and the supply period is more than three months, which coincides with the relatively scarce winter market in China.

　　In the fruit section of the Lingjiatang Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market in Jiangsu, the wholesale sales of cherries in a single store can reach tens of thousands of catties a day.

　　Mr. Bi, a merchant in the fruit section of the Lingjiatang Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market in Jiangsu: There are more cherries coming from the place of origin, and the price of a box is one or two hundred yuan cheaper than in previous years.

Like in previous seasons, cherries cost at least 500 yuan, but now they only cost 200 yuan a box.

　　At present, the global cherries production is mainly concentrated in Chile, New Zealand and Australia, among which nearly 90% of Chile’s cherries are sold to China every year.

　　According to market staff, Chile's cherries output has increased by 30% this year, and sufficient supply is an important reason for the current decline in cherries prices.

Along with the price drop of cherries, longan and jackfruit were also due to increased production.

Recently, the price of durian has been rising all the way due to the decrease in the production area of ​​the origin.

　　Mr. Bi, a merchant in the fruit section of the Lingjiatang Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market in Jiangsu: This year is the most expensive year for durians. A box of durian costs two to three hundred yuan, which is equivalent to a wholesale price increase of more than 30 yuan per catty.
