How are cherry prices in 2019? Why are cherry prices so high?
Cherries are one of the most expensive fruits on our fruit market. Compared with the price of bananas on the market, the price of cherries is very high. But it is usually around 40-50 yuan per jin, so have you ever seen cherries at 320 yuan per jin?
Recently, someone at the Beijing Lufthansa Friendship Shopping City saw a box of yellow cherries produced in Shandong, 3 jin for 960 yuan, averaging 320 yuan per jin. This price is really high. Hainan's lychee king, 190 yuan per jin, is about 19 times the price of ordinary lychees! Netizens have sighed one after another that they had just set the flag of “cherry freedom,” and then it was gone in an instant; even “fruit freedom” is about to be lost.
The price of cherries at 320 yuan per jin is even more expensive than imported cherries. Is this price for cherries really reasonable? Why are cherries so expensive? What is the specific reason?
Some fruit vendors said that the reason fruit is expensive this year is that when the fruit trees bloomed last year, there were several hailstorms, which led to less fruit setting and a decline in yield, so the price went up. However, after the new fruit comes in around October this year, the prices of apples and pears will decline somewhat.
Summer came late this year, and the spring climate was unstable, so the period when large quantities of fruit hit the market was delayed somewhat. It is expected that as seasonal fruits are listed in large quantities, fruit prices will fall seasonally.
It is not that cherries everywhere are this expensive; cherries differ from place to place. Take Nanjing cherries, for example. Normally, crystal cherries on the Nanjing cherry market are 38-43 yuan per jin, and large yellow cherries are 45-48 yuan per jin. The picking price is 50 yuan per jin, and the retail price is 35 yuan per jin. If you want to eat a lot of cherries, you can choose these places.
Fruit prices are really high now. If you want to buy low-priced fruit, then you can only wait for fruit prices to fall in October!
