The "banana snap-up" incident in Hainan means that bananas in Hainan are unsalable for one month, and the purchase price is as low as 2-3 cents per catty. The input cost of banana planting is high, and many farmers borrow money to plant it. Bananas rot in the ground, and farmers have nothing! Hainan bananas are urgent! Banana farmers are in a hurry! "Banana emergency" homophonic anxiety, also refers to bananas, pun intended, refers to the crisis of bananas in Hainan.

What happened:

In early April, due to the cold weather last winter and this spring, the time to market bananas in Hainan was delayed. In the meantime, the price of bananas is good. Although it collided with bananas listed in Guangdong and Guangxi, the price of bananas per catty is around 3 yuan, and even has an upward trend.

On April 23rd, the news that the ripening of banana "Ethephon" was harmful to health was broadcast and reprinted by major media all over the country, and the purchase price of bananas in Hainan turned sharply.

In the first half of May, the market price of bananas dropped from 3 yuan per catty in April to 1.3 yuan per catty, while the foreign purchase price was less than 80 cents, so the market was cold. This period of time is the peak of banana listing in Hainan, and many farmers have suffered serious losses.

From mid-May to early June, after the news of "Correcting the Name" of banana "Ethephon" initiated by CCTV was broadcast, the banana market rebounded, and the purchase price of Hainan bananas rose from 80 cents per catty to about 1.2 yuan.

In mid-June, Hainan Province experienced a week of high temperature weather, and bananas matured in a large area. However, due to the delay in the overall listing time this year, the best listing time has been missed, and fruits all over the country have matured. The problem of "selling hard" is getting more and more serious. The purchase price of banana plantations is always between 0.2 yuan and 0.4, and the loss of banana farmers is very serious.
