Analysis of Apple Price Trend in 2022
From the end of September to the whole National Day holiday, the rainfall in northern apple producing areas such as Liaoning, Shandong, Henan and Shanxi increased. Because of water accumulation, apples planted in the open air can only be harvested and transported manually at present, which increases the cost and price.
It is currently the peak season for Apple's acquisition. However, rainy weather and low temperature have affected the supply this year. "Apples in Shandong have reduced production to a certain extent. According to the survey data, the output of apples in Shandong in 20021-2022 was 9,588,300 tons, which was about 7.5% lower than last year. "
Sun Jing said: "The supply of apples with good quality in the main producing areas in western China, such as Shaanxi, has basically ended, and due to the COVID-19 epidemic, control has been strengthened, and some apple purchasers are looking for customers in the east. This has led to an increase in merchants in the east, but at present, there are fewer apples with better quality, and the price has risen immediately. "
Some fruit dealers told Huashang Daily that with the fruits coming into the market in the new season, the price of apples may rise or drive the prices of other fruits to rise. Dealers will also adjust the terminal selling prices of other fruits in time according to market conditions.
How will the price of Apple change this year?
Sun Jing said: "After the first frost, the apples planted in the main producing areas are concentrated in a large area, and buyers choose apples with good quality for storage. However, the commodity rate of apples in the new harvest season of 202 1-2022 decreased greatly, and the possibility of continuing to rise in the short term is not ruled out. "
