The price of lobster fell
One boss sells 12,000 pounds a day
According to red star news, journalists learned from a number of lobster wholesalers that the hubei shrimp matured at the end of april of previous years had been marketed in advance and sold in parallel with the sichuan local lobster. The price is also “diving”, “shrimps (two to four dollars) at $6 to $10 per pound, chinese shrimp (four to six dollars) at $15 per pound, and shrimps (seven to eight dollars) at $20 to 30 per pound less than last year.” one of the lobster distributors indicated that this may be related to the warmth of the spring season。
Statistics from the chengdu haigsung market (the white house market) show that from 1 april to 15 april, the total arrival of lobsters was twice as high as last year, and the arrival price fell by 3 to 40 per cent over the same period last year, leading to lower prices for recent sales。
According to news from tai chi, on 24 april, according to the zhang flying market information officer for the wholesale agricultural products of the chai chou valley, the market currently has a wide variety of lobster sources, both locally and from hubei and elsewhere. The price of lobsters has been declining in recent times, which is linked to a number of factors. In some of the fertilizing markets, lobsters have become a “star product” on the stall, and the price of mid-sized lobsters has dropped from 30 to less than $20 a pound last month。
On march 19, beijing's new network of officials updated the wholesale price of lobsters for this year's beijing region, which averaged 42. 5 yuan per pound for 35g ~ 45g and 25 yuan per pound for 20g ~ 30g. By 18 april, the average sale price for the above-specified lobsters had been reduced to $35 per pound and $23 per pound respectively。
According to hangzhou's guangzhou media center, “wind by day”, 27th day, hangzhou's very high-lying housekeeper said that prices were now half as low as they had been on the market. 8 yen/g; 12 yen-14 yen/g; 25 yen-32 yen. “from the beginning of april, lobsters have already been distributed in large quantities. Although frequent rains have also affected the marketing of lobsters recently, the overall sale has been good. Last saturday, i sold 12,000 pounds with my husband."
It was reported on the 16th of the financial year that there were several water stalls selling lobsters, which were divided into “middle shrimp” and “shrimp” respectively, depending on their size, at the market for farmers at the village market in nanning city. According to mr. Mon, the price of lobster is now significantly lower than it was at $50 per pound in march, when it first came on the market. According to mr. Mon, “chrimp is now between $22 and $25 per pound, from $25 to $28 per pound in the past and higher prices this month”
According to the new yellow river client, as the price of lobster fell, a number of restaurants also introduced a discount for the buy-in of lobster. A few vendors offer a discount of 4. 2, 3. 80%, for example, the original $138 price, and the group purchase price is $57. 88. In the last week, the purchase price has fallen, about $10 a pound, and we've launched a preferential package.” according to the head of a barbeque town on the south road of chinan ma shan, there are a large number of customers in the preferential set, with a high single rate of lobsters available every night until 2 or 3 a. M., and they are usually sold out at 11 p. M。
Why did the price drop
In previous years, the price of lobster had continued to skyrocket, at one time selling at $100 a pound. A comparison was also made at the time that the price per pound for lobsters was higher than that of ordy and rover。
However, in recent years, with the large-scale lobster industry everywhere, the price of lobster has also been falling, with occasional news of its falling prices, even the price of “shoulder” vegetables and milk tea。
Similar to the krabs, lobsters are seasonal foods, and in april of each year prices will decline gradually as they are heavily marketed, reaching a low point in may。
But this year the price of lobster is lower than in previous years, why
According to the interface, first of all, the production of lobsters has increased and market availability has led to lower prices. The crayfish matured at the end of april of the year had been marketed early and were now being sold simultaneously in various markets, including hubei and sichuan。
At the same time, the northern provinces of my country, such as heilong river, are growing crayfish, further expanding their market supply. In recent years, chinese lobster farming areas have been expanding owing to their adaptive capacity and short-lived growth cycles。
In addition, the warm weather has allowed the early marketing of lobsters in major production areas, such as hubei, which has simultaneously increased supplies. According to sino-china network, the china lobster industry development report (2023), published jointly by the national aquaculture technology promotion station, the china aquaculture institute and the china aquaculture and processing association, shows that in 2022 the country's crayfish farming area reached 28 million acres and produced more than 2. 89 million tons, representing 8. 79 per cent of the country's total freshwater production, making it the fourth largest freshwater farming species。
For the country's lobster industry, the balance of production and distribution has become an issue of concern. Our small lobster production is already quite large, domestic lobster products are largely saturated, and supply exceeds demand for part of the time. Next, there will be greater international market expansion or effective ways of addressing market saturation。
