Egg "worth" price has fallen vegetable price is still high "fly"

“The price of vegetables dropped after the Spring Festival in previous years! How did the Chinese lunar calendar “February 2” pass? Is it still so expensive?” Yesterday, the citizen Mr. Chen sighed when he went to the middle market to buy food, and now vegetables cost more than eggs. Now. The people who shared the same feelings with Mr. Chen also found that although the market has a high rate of contribution and the variety of vegetables is abundant, the prices of leafy vegetables are much more expensive than before. After the reporter visited the market, he learned that the main reason why the price of vegetables is still high in recent days is that the supply is small. After the weather has warmed, the price of vegetables is expected to return to normal levels. It seems that the price of vegetables will also “fly” for a while.

“I thought that this vegetable price will go down after the New Year. Who knows the price of vegetables is still high, and now I’m buying food quickly and I really can't understand the current trend of vegetable prices...” said Mr. Chen. After the holiday season, the price of vegetables did not seem to have fallen sharply. In particular, the price of lettuce and Shanghai Green was more expensive than that of the Spring Festival. Now, one dish of fried vegetables is more expensive than the fried dish.

Yesterday morning, the reporter visited several bazaars and some supermarkets in the city. It was learned that at present, the price of vegetables on the market is more than RMB 3/500 g. The prices of lettuce, garland chrysanthemum, cucumber, and buckwheat dishes are all at RMB 4. About 500 grams, there are some vegetables even reached a high price of 5 yuan / 500 grams, the most expensive is a parsley, the highest selling 6.5 yuan / 500 grams. The same is true of other supermarkets. The price of leafy vegetables is not less than 3 yuan. Compared with the high prices of vegetables, the prices of eggs and meat dropped a lot. On the same day, in the supermarkets and farmers markets visited by reporters, the most expensive eggs were sold at 3.2 yuan/500 grams, and they were sold at 3.09 yuan/500. Grams are much cheaper than leafy vegetables.

Eggs contain protein and minerals that the body must have. It is widely recognized as a nutritional product. Its worth is much more expensive than green vegetables. How can its value not catch up with leafy vegetables? According to the owner of a chicken farm on Film and Television Road, there are two reasons for the low price of eggs. First, last year, the market for eggs was relatively good. Many chicken farms increased the amount of hens and the number of eggs produced was naturally high. Second, spring is the hen peak period of egg production. This year is early and early spring, the relative temperature is relatively high, the egg production period of the hen is advanced, and the number of eggs is increased. However, the demand does not increase, and the price will naturally decrease.

Why is the price of vegetables still high today? In response, some vegetable operators analyzed that, on the one hand, the weather was cold this year, and the weather was not suitable for the rapid and large-scale growth of vegetables. Many vegetables could only be grown in greenhouses. The supply was in short supply, and the price of vegetables was naturally not cheap, but the local vegetable farmers planted green vegetables years ago. Already sold, planting is not yet available until April. Most of the leafy vegetables currently sold on the market come from foreign countries. Because vegetables are not easily preserved, coupled with rising oil prices and increased transportation costs, the price of vegetables is naturally higher. However, at present, many vegetable farmers are seeing a high price of leafy vegetables and starting to grow in large quantities. Coupled with the gradual warming of the weather, it is believed that vegetable prices will return to normal levels after a while.
