Originally, it was the time when the vegetables were green and yellow, and the weather was abnormal. Especially some time ago, many parts of the country ushered in long-term rainy weather with more rainfall, but this year the temperature dropped earlier and the weather was cold.
Rainfall cooled down again, and abnormal climate led to unfavorable vegetable production and decreased output. Especially after the flood disaster, the output of vegetables will be reduced even more, the supply will be reduced, and the supply and demand will be tight, which will lead to the price increase.
In other words, bad weather and abnormal weather are the main culprits of rising vegetable prices.
Second, production costs have risen.
Another important reason is that the production cost of vegetables is also rising, including the cost of seeds, fertilizers and labor, which has increased by 30% in some places.
Since the beginning of this year, the global commodity prices have risen, and the prices of many agricultural means of production have risen, especially the prices of chemical fertilizers.
The data shows that the price of urea per ton in the first half of the year was around 2,000 yuan, but it has recently risen to more than 3,000 yuan.
Moreover, labor costs are also rising. It used to be less than 100 yuan per person per day, but now it is more than 100 yuan.
The rising cost will naturally be reflected in the price of vegetables.
Third, transportation costs are also increasing.
On the one hand, many places are flooded, and vegetable wholesalers have to wholesale vegetables all over the country, which increases the transportation distance.
On the other hand, oil prices are also rising. International crude oil prices hit a new high. Since the beginning of this year, domestic oil prices have risen 14. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that gasoline and diesel prices rose by 23.4% and 25.7% respectively in September, and the increase continued to expand.
This has caused the transportation cost of vegetables to rise.
