The grain price this year is indeed higher than last year. On June 5438+ 10, the opening price of new grain was about 10% higher than the same period of last year. This is mainly the result of the high purchase price of rice this year. This year, the general rice purchase price of Fangzheng and Tonghe in Harbin has reached 2.4 yuan/kg, which is higher than the national minimum protection price 1.9 yuan/kg and also higher than 0.5 yuan. According to the data reported by Harbin Grain Information Network, as of 65438+February, the amount of autumn grain purchased in Harbin has exceeded 1 10,000 tons. Grain output is high, so the increase in food prices is not caused by lack of food, but mainly the result of market regulation. However, the increase in the price of noodles may be the result of a "comparative effect", which is driven by the increase in the price of similar commodities. This price increase will be self-adjusted according to market conditions to ensure that it is within the affordability of the public. As far as the grain price is concerned, its increase is a reasonable change caused by changes in market supply and demand, which is conducive to increasing farmers' income, and the increase is also within the acceptable range of the public. Therefore, citizens need not panic. This year, the sown area of grain in Heilongjiang Province has increased, and the total output is initially expected to hit a record high. The recent and this year's food price increase is mainly influenced by seasonal factors. In winter, most people have the habit of storing food and vegetables. In addition, as the New Year approaches and consumer demand rises, prices will naturally rise. Starting from benefiting farmers, it is expected that the state will not depress food prices. Therefore, it is expected that food prices will remain stable next year, and there will be no ups and downs.
