Guangzhou vegetable prices dropped sharply

Although the State Council issued the “National 16” control price recently, some milk prices in the Guangzhou market are quietly rising. A number of stores reported to this newspaper that they have received notifications of price increases from mainstream brands such as Yili, Mengniu, and Guangming in the past month, which ranged from 5% to 10%, involving multiple varieties. According to a survey conducted by the reporters, in addition to the rise in raw milk, sugar and other comprehensive costs behind the increase in prices, Guangdong's raw milk was suddenly “grabbed” at the end of the year and became a major force. In 2008, milk was included in the national interim price intervention, but it is still unclear whether such measures will be introduced as of this year's press release.

Store: Received a price increase notification at the end of last month. The reporter visited a number of hypermarkets in Guangzhou and found that some milk varieties had increased in price. Tianhe District, a store also told reporters that a variety of milk prices are up to 10%.

The person in charge of several stores told reporters that Mengniu, Yili, Guangming and other major suppliers have issued price notifications at the end of last month, raising the price of several of their normal temperature milk varieties by 5% to 10%. “In the price increase notification, there is a list of relevant price increase varieties, including Yili Shuhua series, classic series, Mengniu low-fat series, high-calcium low-fat series and future stars children milk, etc.” said the responsible person. It is understood that due to inventory digested almost, Guangzhou, a number of stores also began to gradually increase some of the liquid milk varieties.

Another hypermarket said that it has not yet received the above price increase notice for the brand, but has received verbal notices from Bright, Danone and other brands in December to raise prices.

Dairy prices: Local dairy companies do not rule out follow-up Yesterday, Mengniu contacted the reporter to confirm that milk prices have risen. “At the end of October, we adjusted prices for some products, but there is no decision to increase prices this month. The next step is whether to increase the price depends on the price of raw materials. This is mainly the purchase price of raw milk, and also depends on the price of sugar.” He said With the price increase of raw milk, the profits of milk producers are becoming less and less, and prices will increase when the costs cannot bear.

According to the Yili contact, after verifying with the headquarters that the Guangzhou market has not increased its prices, it has not issued any specific price adjustments for these varieties, but it does not rule out adjustments in other regional markets.

Many local dairy companies in Guangzhou take a wait-and-see attitude. The contact person of popular milk said that since the third quarter of this year, the milk price adjustment plan has been gradually implemented. Therefore, the dairy industry will conduct a regular price review in the fourth quarter. This year, the cost pressure is relatively large, and it is not ruled out to adjust the price next year.

The person in charge of Xiang Man Lou said that whether the price of the product has risen has not yet been determined, but this possibility is not ruled out. The reporter also learned from Yantang that the cost pressures for raw milk and sugar have increased this year, but no notice has been given.

Analysis: Dairy enterprises "grab milk" raised milk prices Reporter also found that Guangdong's recent raw milk prices rose a lot, but also different from previous years. "It's not just a matter of cost, but a 'grab-up' phenomenon," said a local dairy chief who declined to be named.

According to reports, dairy giants have recently set up factories in Guangdong to collect milk. Pastures in Guangdong have used the order method to sell milk to local dairy companies in the past. New competitors have entered a higher purchase price. It is now a key time for all dairy enterprises and ranches to sign orders for 2011. The responsible person of the dairy industry expects the price of the new supply contract will reach RMB 4,800-5,000/ton, which was about RMB 4,200/ton before.

The decline in the price of agricultural products has drawn attention to the trend of the price of some farm products in recent days, the price of milk "just around the corner" also caused concern from all walks of life. Only this week the State Department introduced 16 measures to stabilize prices.

According to the reporter's data in 2008, food prices were also high in the same year, and the National Development and Reform Commission had introduced temporary price interventions. Dairy industry sources said that milk has become a popular consumer product, so the dairy industry has also been classified as a scope for price increases, but this year there is no "copying" of temporary price interventions in 2008.

Sugar orange price doubled Reporters yesterday visited the Jiangnan fruit and vegetable wholesale market and the farmers' markets and found that "1 yuan dish" once again into the daily life of the public.

However, the prices of agricultural products such as apples and sugar oranges have risen in contrarian directions. The price of sugar oranges, which the people most liked to eat soon, has soared recently. “Last year's better wholesale price was 1.2 yuan a pound, and this year it must be 2 yuan. The above, said Mr. Wei, who is doing fruit business in the Jiangnan fruit and vegetable wholesale market, said, "In this year's fruit, the price of sugar orange has risen the most."

Production in some production areas has been reduced to 45% by Mr. Wei, who mainly deals in fruit business. In previous years, he directly went to the farmers' fields in the four sessions to directly purchase sugar oranges and then shipped them to Guangzhou for sale. “The cheapest 0.7 yuan/kg at that time was better. Also about 1.2 yuan," said Mr. Wei, "This year's price increase is too staggering, and now it is almost 1.6 yuan / kg, better is more than 2 yuan, and the increase has doubled."

It is understood that there are still about half a month from the large number of sugar oranges listed in Guangdong, Guangdong's largest sugar orange production area in Quang Ninh, Deqing, Yunfu and other places came news, some production areas this year, sugar orange reduction quite powerful, the highest reached four 50%, the price of sugar oranges this year will be a foregone conclusion.

The nation’s purchaser, Guangdong Orangegrass Chengqin, is a villager of the Shangyu Village Committee of Guigang Township, Yangchun City. He contracted 10 acres of woodland in the village. Speaking of this year’s sugar orange, he said with full of joy: “This year sugar orange prices If the bamboo shoots are high after the rain, the purchase price of 2 yuan/kg yesterday will have risen to 2.1 yuan/kg."

Why does the price "rise louder"? Ou Chengqin told reporters that Huanglong disease in Yangchun City was quite serious this year, and most of the old trees that were not managed died of illness. Coupled with the rainy weather in the first half of this year, the fruit rate of citrus trees was relatively low, resulting in a reduction of about 45% of the local sugar oranges.

Ou Chengqin is the lucky one. He actively managed during the rainy season and raised the rate of fruit-bearing. This year's harvest has not been reduced. There are still 70,000 kilograms, and the sugar orange has an annual income of 150,000 to 160,000 yuan.

The situation in Guigang Town is a microcosm of the cultivation of sugar oranges in Guangdong and Guangxi. The reporter learned that a large number of suppliers of sugar oranges are worried that they will not receive the quantity they need. They have been “accommodating soldiers” to acquire in important production areas, such as Guigang Town. Today, they have gathered in Hunan, Guangdong and other buyers across the country. Last year, Guigang There are 5 stalls on the town's main road to buy sugar oranges, and now there are more than 10 stalls at high prices. The industry expects that, as a whole, the wholesale price of sugar orange will rise by more than 50% this year.

Heavy investment in stabilizing prices has escaping from the "national reserve sugar to the market on November 22", "the government will also increase the sales of policy-related grain markets," "the state reserves of edible vegetable oil, soybeans and pork will continue to invest in the market"... ... After the State Council promulgated the "State 16" of stabilizing prices, all ministries and commissions have successively introduced multiple measures to keep prices running at lower prices. Wang Xianqing, director of the Institute of Circulation Economics at the Guangdong Business School, believes that the prices of agricultural products have risen significantly over the past period of time. There is a component of capital speculation. After the introduction of the policy, it is natural that the prices of agricultural products should fall.

When hot money speculates on agricultural products, there is an expectation for future price increases. After various departments of the country announce price stabilization, it is obviously unrealistic to continue to push up the prices of agricultural products. In the absence of rising expectations, some hot money will be thrown out of cash in hand. To increase the supply of agricultural products on the market, in the case of a certain demand, will inevitably lead to a decline in prices.

However, for some small varieties of agricultural products, such as fruit products such as sugar orange, hot money may continue to hype, because these products will not be included in the scope of the use of administrative means for price regulation.

Agricultural products will continue to decline in prices. "The current price cuts in agricultural products are mainly caused by policies that have changed the atmosphere of the market." Wang Xianqing, director of the Institute of Circulation Economics at the Guangdong Business School, believes that although the "16 countries" have not been fully implemented, they have already played a psychological role in the market. To a deterrent effect. Since the price increase of agricultural products some time ago clearly has the composition of capital speculation, after the introduction of the policy, the price of agricultural products will fall down naturally.

Wang Xianqing said that the price of agricultural products is still in the “just starting to fall” range. With the official implementation of “State 16” on December 1, Vegetables and Fruits and other agricultural products should have further decline.

However, he believes that because China's economy is in a period of rapid growth, the price of agricultural products will not appear to be excessively "diving". And "as the price stabilizes, there is still the possibility of a rebound in the future."

The reporter also noticed that for the price of ginger and garlic that had previously been buzzing, the current price is still running at a high level, and it is very likely that prices will continue to rise after the “wind”.

Lettuce 0.6 yuan a pound, because it can not sell, some have been rotted; previously fried tomatoes have been reduced to a pound of 1.2 yuan, or can not sell; and some time ago up to 3 yuan a pound of carrots, and now also It dropped to less than 2 yuan. On the 20th, after the General Office of the State Council issued the "Circular of the State Council on Stabilizing the General Level of Consumer Price to Guarantee the Basic Lives of the Masses", the prices of major agricultural products fell back. Today's reporter visited the Jiangnan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market and the farmers' trade. The market found that "1 dollar" once again entered the daily life of the public.

Reporters visited some supermarkets in Guangzhou and found that the prices of vegetables on the market continued to “fall”. After some vegetables fell back to the “one dollar area,” prices continued to fall back to the “Mao” era.

Local Chinese cabbage, local dishes, giant mustard, spring vegetables, etc. are all priced at 1 yuan/jin.

However, some grains also have a rising trend. Like buckwheat, the price per package rose from 7 yuan to 9 yuan. The managers of Wanjia Supermarket told the reporter that the price of some grains has been notified of price increases, which is about 10%, but the supermarket price has not yet been adjusted.

Lettuce 6 hair / kg No one should "leaf lettuce, ah, six hair, very cheap." Jiangnan agricultural and sideline products wholesale market, the owner of a business department pointed to the reporter's lettuce told reporters that the recent price drops badly, sales are not enough, these days It's rotted a lot. The owner of the next green pepper wholesale shop continued to say that the price of vegetables was falling, and the green pepper was already a few cents cheaper per kilogram.

Faced with piles of tomatoes, the stall's boss seemed helpless. "Now the prices are already very cheap, can not sell it." According to the introduction of the wife, before slightly higher quality tomatoes are at least two yuan per kilogram or more, and now the cheapest has been reduced to 1.2 yuan / kg, a good variety Also at most 2 yuan / kg.

“Before some time, Beijing carrots could be sold for about 3 yuan per kilogram.

Days. Henan carrots cost 1.2 yuan per kilogram, and Beijing carrots only sell about 2 yuan per kilogram. "The supply of vegetables has risen, but sales haven't increased, and prices have fallen."

Jiangnan, the director of the agricultural and sideline products wholesale market in Jiangnan, believes that the current drop in the price of vegetables has a lot to do with the large number of local vegetables.
