First, we all know that the bad weather last year led to the Shandong disaster, in which the northern part of China was rich in fruits, especially apples. A large number of buds were frozen and damaged, which led to the decline of their yield. In the past, the orchard could produce about 8000 Jin per mu. Now it is only about 3500 Jin, which leads to a big gap in the fruit market and will also push up the price of this fruit.
At the same time, according to media interviews and informed sources, some fruit seedlings have not achieved the expected results after cultivation and grafting, resulting in poor seedling conditions and ultimately affecting the output of this fruit.
In addition, long-distance transportation needs refrigeration to keep fresh, which also increases the circulation link and transportation cost, which invisibly increases the cost of fruits and eventually leads to higher consumer prices. The second reason is that people's living standards have greatly improved, and people are more picky about fruits. Before, those inferior fruits still had a certain consumer market, but now many people no longer choose fruits with poor quality and appearance, resulting in a lot of fruits being wasted, so the prices of those better fruits will naturally rise.
The last reason is the influence of Sino-US trade, which hinders imports. If there is no trade war between China and the United States, then the import of fruit will reduce the price increase, which will cushion the domestic fruit as a whole and the price will not be so high.
