Analysis of the 2019 Coconut Price Trend and How to Open a Coconut

Every year in July and August, coconuts in our country begin to ripen and hit the market, and many people buy some to take home to cool off and quench their thirst. However, at present, coconut production in our country is not very high, and there are not many producing areas, so the price is a bit on the expensive side. So what was the coconut price trend in 2019? How do you open one?

1. Introduction to coconuts:

1. Is the coconut a hot-natured or cool-natured fruit?

Both the liquid and the flesh of the coconut can be eaten, but the liquid is warm-natured while the flesh is cold-natured, so people with a cold constitution had best not eat the flesh when consuming it, so as to avoid making their constitution even colder and causing discomfort.

2. Where are coconuts grown?

There are many places where coconuts are grown. Abroad, they are planted in places such as India, the Philippines, Malaysia and Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia and the region from Indonesia to the Pacific Islands are the places of origin. Domestically, they are mainly produced in Taiwan, China, Hainan, southern Guangdong and southern Yunnan.

2. What was the coconut price trend in 2019?

1. Coconut market prices vary. Generally, outside the harvest season, one can sell for around 20 yuan or more, while during the harvest season, one costs about 10 yuan, and in some areas they are sold by weight. For example, at the Hongqi Agricultural Trade Wholesale Market in Xiqing District, Tianjin, the price was about 3.5 yuan per jin; at the Dayanglu Agricultural and Sideline Products Wholesale Market in Chaoyang District, Beijing, the price was about 5.2 yuan per jin; and at the Jiangmen Xinhui District Fruit and Food Wholesale Market Co., Ltd. in Guangdong, the price was about 2.6 yuan per jin. So coconut prices differ across different markets and different specifications, and based on past market prices, prices fluctuate fairly widely from March to April, ranging from 6 to 10 yuan per jin, and in summer they are about 10 yuan each, so the price trend in 2019 should be similar to that of 2018.

2. Besides being eaten directly, coconuts can also be made into dried coconut, and one jin of dried coconut costs about 25 to 40 yuan per jin, and when expensive it can sell for about 110 yuan per jin, so processed coconuts fetch the highest market price, one could say the price multiplies several times over. In addition, they can also be processed directly into large bottles of coconut juice, and one bottle sells for 10 yuan for just one bottle, so taking past prices together, the 2019 market price should remain stable.

3. How do you open a coconut?

The outer shell of a coconut is very hard, and generally it is very difficult to open without the help of a tool, so if you want to drink coconut juice, you need to master certain opening techniques.

Step 1: First use a knife to cut off the thick outer husk of the coconut, then pull out the fuzzy stubble on the surface and wash it clean.

Step 2: Find a tool with a small pointed tip, then locate the small round spot on the front of the coconut and use the pointed tool to tap a small hole. Usually, a coconut has three eyes, but two are false eyes that are generally very hard to knock open, and only the eye next to the stem is the real one, which usually opens with a single poke of a knife.

Step 3: Insert a straw and it is ready to eat. After drinking all the liquid, you can cut it open with a knife and then use a spoon to scoop out the white flesh inside. This flesh is very sweet and very tender, and its nutritional value is no less than that of the juice, so it would be a shame to throw it away.

The above is a detailed introduction to the 2019 coconut price trend and how to open a coconut. I hope it is helpful to everyone.
