Vegetable prices this winter will return to a reasonable range

Recently, the temperature in many places has fluctuated sharply, and the price of vegetables has risen rapidly

"The price of vegetables has risen since late October, mainly due to bad weather and transportation

Monitoring data from the "Domestic and foreign agricultural product market dynamics" weekly report of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs showed that from November 22 to November 28, the weekly average price of 28 vegetable wholesale markets under monitoring was 5.

Zhang Jing told reporters that the average weekly price of vegetables has fallen for two consecutive weeks, mainly due to the gradual recovery of vegetable supply

At present, roads across the country are basically unblocked, the impact of the transportation link on the supply of vegetables on the market has dropped significantly, and prices have begun to loosen up and fall

Recently, vegetable prices in Beijing's Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market have also gradually declined

There are three sources of vegetables sold in the Beijing market in winter: one is winter storage vegetables, the other is northern facility vegetables, and the third is southern vegetables

"The excessively high prices of some vegetables have also restrained demand, leading to a loosening of prices in production areas and market prices,

"The price of beans has dropped across the board, mainly because the vehicles that were stranded on the road in the early stage entered the market, and the subsequent vehicles are still pouring into the market, causing short-term oversupply, and merchants are forced to reduce prices and promote sales, which depresses the market.

Not long ago, the National Bureau of Statistics released the national CPI (Consumer Price Index) for October this year.

Zhang Jing said that from a long-term perspective, vegetable prices show a volatile upward trend, and the increase rate is higher than the CPI increase

"The increase in vegetable prices has a significant impact on the month-on-month increase in CPI in October, which is an abnormal phenomenon in some special periods

This anomaly stems from an abnormal jump in vegetable prices caused by extreme weather

Whether vegetable prices will continue to significantly drive CPI this winter depends on whether there will be extreme weather in the future

Regarding the supply of winter vegetables, Zhang Jing believes that it will gradually turn to looser

From a regional perspective, the vegetable area in the 13 provinces of the "Southern Vegetables Transported to the North" base and the main production areas of northern facilities reached 91.

As the weather in various places continued to improve, the increase in vegetable prices in November has narrowed
.
It is expected that after December, winter greenhouse vegetables and "Southern vegetables" will enter the stage of centralized listing.
The tight supply pattern of some vegetable varieties will be effectively alleviated, and vegetable prices will gradually return to a reasonable fluctuation range
.

Liu Tong believes that the short period of difficult vegetable supply has passed, and the current situation is gradually improving, and a slow downward trend in vegetable prices has begun to take shape
.
The supply capacity will be further enhanced in the later period, and the downward channel for the overall price of vegetables has been opened
.

"Although the increase in vegetable prices has a significant impact on the month-on-month increase in CPI in October, the overall impact will be limited in the future
.
" Zhang Jing said
