Ten bucks can buy only two or three onions, and one pound can buy two pounds of eggs. In recent days, the stars in the market for food have changed from "gry, bean, bean" and "ginger" to "money onions." journalists learned yesterday from the market for new sites that the price of onions is currently more than twice as high as it was in the same period last year, and that, although post-march prices have gradually fallen, the recovery of onions prices is expected to take place after june, according to past patterns。
Buying onions is mostly one or two
“this cost six dollars.” yesterday, the king's wife showed the reporters two onions she had just bought from the morning market, “besides cooking less onions and more onions.” the reporters noticed that these two onions are only medium-priced. In the gold-seed market at camp stone, the sellers of vegetables reported a price of $7 per pound to the onions. Journalists have noticed that many citizens buy one or two onions. “the number of people buying onions is not small, but the number of people buying onions is low.” a shopkeeper told reporters。
Journalists learned from the market that yesterday the wholesale price of the onions in the market ranged from $2. 0 to 3. 2 per pound, an increase of 271. 43 per cent from $0. 60 to $0. 80 per pound in the same period last year, a marked increase. Market merchants told journalists that the price of onions had risen from early february to 0. 9 to 1. 8 per pound on 5 february, to 2. 0 to 4. 0 per pound on 5 and 6 march, an increase of 122. 22 per cent within a month. This was followed by a high-level adjustment phase, with prices falling gradually after mid-march。
It's june after normal
According to an analysis by liu tong, the department of statistics of the new land market, the reasons for this year's sharp increase in the price of onions this year are mainly the “years and years” that often appear in agricultural production: two consecutive years of low onions prices, which affect farmers' motivation to grow onions; three consecutive years of low onions storage prices, which are lower in the spring than in the autumn; and a reduction in the number of onions stored this spring。
According to industry sources, on-the-job prices have gradually fallen since mid-march, mainly because of the increase in shanghai and zhejiang onions. It is expected that the onions of shandong during the winter will begin to grow and appear soon, that the onions of china will mature and that prices will decline later. According to liu tong's analysis, after june, the new onions grown in shandong, hebei and tianjin began to be marketed, and onions prices will return to normal。
More eggs, less onions
"what if we go out for dinner at night and make lamb? Yesterday, a friend of the internet, sugar rabbit, issued such a tweet. In fact, his thoughts are not a joke. Since the price of onions has multiplied, it does have a direct impact on the catering industry, even the traders who sell pancakes cannot afford to magnify onions. The journalist bought a pancakes at a pancakes stand on the road. When i heard the journalist's request for more onions, the stander smiled, and said, "more onions are more expensive than eggs!"
