Tian Zaili said: "(Fennel) was about 8 yuan (per catty) ten days ago, now it is about 3 yuan. If it rained 10 days ago and there were few vegetables, the money would go up to about 8 yuan. It’s cheaper when it rains."

The reporter saw in the vegetable trading area of Xinfadi Market that the carts were lined up neatly, the goods were full, the transactions were active, and the traffic was in order.
Liu Tong, a market data analyst at Xinfadi, also told reporters that some time ago, the price of vegetables with a relatively large increase has dropped significantly in recent days.
Liu Tong said: "For example, the wholesale price of small spinach in Xinfadi Market was between 7 yuan and 7.5 yuan. Now the wholesale price of small spinach has dropped to 2 yuan per catty. The wholesale price of small rapeseed a week ago Between 2.5 yuan and 3.5 yuan, the wholesale price of small rape has dropped to between 1.2 yuan and 1.8 yuan in the last two days."
However, Liu Tong also said that the vegetables whose prices have fallen have a shorter growth cycle, and there are still some vegetables with a longer growth cycle. Due to the long supply replenishment cycle, the prices are still at a high level, causing the overall price of vegetables to be 50% higher than the same period last year. %about.
Liu Tong said: "There are also some vegetables that have a longer growth period, and it takes a longer time to replenish the supply. Therefore, the price is still at a high level, making the market's current price and the same period last year still have a nearly 50% increase. , The rate of increase compared with the same period last year is still relatively high."
According to reports, winter vegetables generally start to go on the market around mid-November.
In fact, winter vegetables are also affected by adverse weather during the production process, but the impact is relatively smaller than that of autumn vegetables. It is expected that the supply of winter vegetables will be better than that of autumn vegetables.
At present, winter vegetables have not been listed in large quantities, and prices will not fall significantly for the time being, and they will continue to operate at a high level for a period of time.
Liu Tong said that in order to ensure the supply of vegetables, relevant departments in Beijing have introduced a series of measures, and the effects of these measures have been shown.
“The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Finance Bureau have issued a policy that allows the wholesale market to reduce or exempt entry and transaction fees. For example, the entry transaction fee in Xinfadi’s market is about 40 yuan per ton, which is an average of 1 catty of vegetables. 2 cents, the reduction or exemption of entry transaction fees can indeed reduce some operating costs for merchants. In fact, it is to encourage merchants to ship vegetables to Beijing as much as possible."
Dai Zhongjiu, president of the China Vegetable Circulation Association, said in an interview with a reporter from the Central Station that the reasons for the increase in vegetable prices some time ago were the weather on the one hand, and the transportation of vegetables from the south to the north during the autumn and winter rotation period, rising oil prices, and epidemics. Factors such as prevention and control are related.
Recently, various places have strengthened the dispatching power of vegetable supply.
Dai Zhongjiu said: "Including the organization of production and sales, and organizing the transportation of southern vegetables to the north, major wholesale markets and chain supermarkets have opened up a large number of purchase channels. Multi-party purchases have met the total supply of the market. After the total amount is balanced, the price begins to fall. ."
Dai Zhongjiu said that with the implementation of various policies, if there are no major natural disasters in winter and logistics has no major impact on the transportation of agricultural products, the price trend of vegetables this year will be relatively stable.
Dai Zhongjiu said: "The supply is now guaranteed and can meet market demand. There will be no major changes this winter and next spring. All regions have also made emergency preparations. Once there are some emergencies, including our association, we will mobilize member units to actively Respond to ensure market supply and ensure price stability."
