Sell ​​1 catty and lose 1 yuan!

Apple's price plummeted and unsalable!

The worst market in history?

!

what happened?

  Since April this year, the price of apples has fallen all the way, and some wholesalers' prices have even fallen to less than one yuan per catty. Both fruit farmers and fruit merchants are currently facing the dilemma of losing money and making yells.

  Selling a catty and losing one yuan of apple prices "falls endlessly"

  Shao Jing, a fruit grower, is packing apples in a cold wind storage in Taocun Town, Qixia City, the main apple producing area of ​​Yantai.

In the huge workshop, there are not many packaging workers. Being deserted has become Shao Jing's most direct feeling about the current Apple market.

  Shao Jing also has an apple orchard at home. When the early price was good, he sold one-third of it. At present, there are still more than 10,000 catties in the cold storage. Looking at the current trend and price quotation, it can only be anxious.

  However, for the merchants, life is also difficult. This year Apple not only faces slow sales, but also suffers a cliff-like decline in prices.

  The merchant calculated an account for the reporter. Last year, the purchase price of Apple was between 3.2 yuan and 3.5 yuan, and now the outgoing price is between 2.5 yuan and 2.8 yuan, plus various expenses, etc., and a loss of 1.2 to 1.3 yuan per catty. between.

In comparison, apples purchased and stored by apple merchants are of high grade, have a larger market share and relatively high prices, while the prices of apples stored by fruit growers are lower, and the delivery of goods is slower. This year's apple sales can be said to have suffered. The most serious market in history.

  Exports are blocked, stocks are high, Apple's unsalable prices fall

  So what are the reasons for Apple's slow sales and continued price decline, and what trend will Apple prices show in the future?

  According to the estimates of fruit merchants, there are still more than half of the inventory in Qixia City, with low prices and slow delivery, which are suffering from fruit merchants and fruit farmers.

Investigate the reason, first of all, the severe cold in the international market.

China’s apple exports are mainly concentrated in Southeast Asian countries, accounting for more than 90% of apple exports.

Since the Spring Festival, the epidemic situation in Southeast Asia has been severe, and the sales of apples have been blocked.

  Exports were blocked and inventory pressures increased. After the Spring Festival, Apple sales began to fluctuate.

However, due to the large purchases and reserves and the high purchase price last year, Apple's sales are facing tremendous pressure.

The merchant told the reporter that when the apples were just under the tree last year, some rumors of reduced production and poor quality directly affected the purchasing and storage of apples.

  Apple merchants rushed to buy apples, and the price increased, and fruit farmers were reluctant to sell them and put them in the warehouse themselves.

This sentiment of grabbing reserves and reluctant to sell has spread to all major apple-producing areas across the country.

  Both international and domestic factors have caused Apple's unsalable sales and falling prices. And then, with the large number of southern fruits on the market and the gradual listing of seasonal fruits in the north, the prospects for apple sales are even less optimistic.
