Domestically produced fruits are much cheaper than in previous years
Fruits are really cheap recently.
Yesterday morning, a reporter from Qianjiang Evening News and Hour came to Hangzhou Fruit Wholesale Market. Now the biggest sales are citrus, apples, melons, grapes, etc.
Fruits all have price cuts in varying degrees.
Among the domestically-produced fruits, the most significant price reduction is the beloved Sichuan Baba Mandarin, also known as Chunjian. The price of a box of Red Fuji apples in winter has also been reduced this year.
Before New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the fruit market will rise slightly. December is the off-season for fruit, so buying fruit is very cost-effective.

Everyone loves baba tangerines, 20 yuan cheaper per box
Citrus is the category with the largest sales in the entire market. At the booth of Zhongxing Fruit Industry, all kinds of citrus are selling well. The proprietress Wang Jiayi puts on the market. This year's turnover has exceeded 100 million yuan.
The season when a large number of citrus are on the market, there are really many categories. The main products are Sichuan Chunjian (Baba Mandarin), Guangxi Wo Mandarin, Guangxi Shatang Tangerine, Gannan Navel Orange and so on.
In previous years, Baba tangerines were listed at the end of December and early January. These two years have been brought into the market in early December.
The price of this year's baba mandarin is 45-50 yuan/box (9 catties per box), which is 15-20 yuan/box cheaper than last year.
This kind of baba mandarin is the most sold fruit on this fruit stand, with a daily turnover of 100,000 yuan, which is about 2,000 boxes.
Wogan will be available for delivery in December. This year it is also 5 yuan/jin (8 jin), which is 10 yuan cheaper than last year.
Shatangju is now only 3 yuan per catty, compared to 5-6 yuan per catty in earlier years.
The lady boss bought 1,000 boxes this time, and they were sold out in one day yesterday.
Hongmeiren is the most expensive citrus variety in the entire market, and its origin is Xiangshan.
Now Zhongguo sells for 20 yuan per catty, and 110 yuan per box has only eight or nine fruit. Because of the limited production in the production area, the price has been stable in recent years.
Fujian Red Beauty, which tastes worse, is now basically off the market, only 5 yuan per catty.
Aksu apple production cuts slightly and apples from other origins are cheaper
Red Fuji, Snake Fruit, Huang Marshal...The largest sales in the market are the Gansu and Shaanxi apples. Aksu apples are well-known, but the output is small.
In front of a stall selling Shaanxi apples, the owner Zhang Ming said: “This year’s production area has reduced prices. The market wholesale price is 0.5-1 yuan per catty cheaper than in previous years. A box can be 10 yuan cheaper. Now 4-5 tons are shipped a day, which is more than 10 yuan. The month is about half shorter."
Hu Rui, a merchant in the apple wholesale area, has been selling Aksu apples and Korla fragrant pears in Hangzhou for 15 years.
He told the Qianjiang Evening News reporter, “Hail and storms occurred in the Aksu producing area at the end of September this year, and there was freezing again on November 12, which caused apples to be picked too late and reduced production.”
In the early stage, the price of Aksu apples was stable, but recently, the wholesale price of Aksu apples is 55-60 yuan/box (gross weight 11 catties), which is 10 yuan more than in previous years.
Cherries in imported fruits led the increase of 100 yuan per box
Compared with affordable domestic fruits, imported fruits represented by cherries have seen a significant increase in prices this year.
At the Hecheng Fruit Industry booth, the owner Lao He said: "The recent price is really expensive, 800 yuan per box. However, there are still a lot of people who bought it. Yesterday it was sold out."
The "black car", which is cheaper than the "yellow car", is 80-100 yuan per catty, which is 20-30 yuan more expensive than the same period in previous years.
The reason for the price increase is that the supply of goods is small, the cost of air transportation is high, and the goods have not arrived by sea.
The boss said that the current price is the highest, and the price will drop after New Year's Day.
