The association broke the news: low-price crab activities are chaotic

Why did the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, whose prices remain high, suddenly "depreciate themselves"? Is it because the output has skyrocketed or the cost has dropped significantly? caused by?

Yang Weilong, head of the Suzhou Crab Industry Association, said that the climate is more suitable for the growth of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, so the output is expected to be high, but it should remain at a normal level of about 2,500 tons and there will be no explosive growth. As for costs, it can only be said that they have been increasing and have not decreased.

According to local crab farmers, the purchase price of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is basically the same. Taking four-liang male crabs as an example, the starting price is about 180 yuan/catty, and the dealer’s purchase price is 200 yuan/catty. Around 80 yuan per crab on average.

Why are Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs sold so cheaply on Juhuasuan? Yang Weilong said that without physical sales, it is difficult to judge. However, member units participating in the Juhuasuan activities have experienced shortages and used non-local crabs to replace Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs and dead crabs and sell them as live crabs. The association has dealt with it and canceled the company's qualification for excellence evaluation that year.
