How will the later market change?
In recent days, the wholesale price of pepper in Beijing is 0.5 to 1.1 yuan per catty, while the price for the same period last week was 1 yuan to 1.2 yuan per catty, while the weekly price fell 27.27 percent from the previous month.
Beijing water tuen agricultural and sideline products wholesale market analyst qing said, last week, the north of multiple origin pepper classes into the harvest, produced in hebei, shanxi, jilin pepper classes into the listing period, hot peppers with a market of grows, the price is lower.
Shi qing: at present, the price of pepper is still a decline in the whole. The price of the pepper price is still more obvious, which is between 15 and 20 percent.
August is often the lowest price of fresh chillies throughout the year.
The dews were concentrated in July and August, and when they were listed, there was a small supply of them.
There is no supply glut in the market this year, so the price of hot pepper has fallen but it is not a bluff.
First of all, the recent fresh pepper prices the main reason is the excessive peper to land pepper, pepper land cost is low, quality is relatively worse than peper, on the other hand, now the weather is hot, hot pepper growth faster, hot pepper production shorten time to market now, nearly pepper supply increases, lead to sharp pepper prices decline in nearly period of time.
Prices are down, but they are still higher than they were a year ago.
At this time last year, the price of pepper was only 0.3 to 0.7 yuan per kilo.
This year, the planting area has been reduced, and in some areas of the flood, the price of the price of the pepper has been significantly higher than the previous year, with some areas rising 60% year-on-year.
Zhao Gongying: hot peppers last year price is lower, plant hot peppers enthusiasm is not high, this year many farmers to switch to this year round chili, pepper and other species in the add chili market this year is loose, middle faults have some empty stage, lead to hot peppers prices higher than last year to this year.
Aside from the decline in crop yields, the weather has also been a major contributor to this year's spike in prices.
Hot and dry weather in hefei, anhui province, has led to a sharp reduction in pepper production.
In hot peppers planting base of feixi county, hefei granite town, the reporter saw some hot peppers seedlings have stem dead, workers carry water irrigation seedlings, wang, head of base containing tells us that dry weather this year for his outdoor hot peppers losses.
With the king: the weather is too hot, the highest temperature in July in hefei reached 41 degrees, this led to the output of hot peppers, open-air hot peppers almost suffered, we shed plant is a bit better, but a much lower production, the price is higher than last year.
The production of the pepper has been changed every year, and it has been restricted by various factors such as planting technology, natural weather and other factors. This year's extreme weather has caused the decline in the production of the pepper and the increase in transportation costs.
Although demand is not strong at present, the recently hefei pepper trade is still in a steady rise.
Zhou ling, information worker of hefei zhougu wholesale agricultural products wholesale market: the recent hot weather continues, the growth rate of the pepper is slowed down, and the production of local pepper is reduced.
In August, the average price of pepper is about 3.5 yuan per kg, and the highest price is 4.5 yuan per kilogram, which is up from last year's price, which is about 20%.
People in the industry analysis, with the listing of the big house pepper and the late acquisition of a large number of dry pepper, the demand is in the peak season, the price of the late bell pepper also has room to rise, easy to rise and fall hard.
Zhao Gongying: outdoor pepper supply in general to the end of August, this pepper prices are in decline stage, during which stock is listed on the peper period in early September, when hot peppers price decline to a certain stage, shed pepper listed prices will gradually recover.
