Recently, the price of apple in China has fallen down. The number of late maturing Fuji in Shandong Province has been increasing, and the purchase price has begun to maintain a high level of oscillation. As a result, the prices in the production and marketing areas have been inverted, and the purchase of merchants has gradually become rational, and the prices of fruit farmers have become loose. After the frost, the apple is not resistant to storage. In the past years, the price of Apple has declined more or less after the frost.
At the beginning of October, the market was generally optimistic about Apple prices, because this year, the decline in the rate of excellent apple fruit, the reduction of apple production in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the entry of garlic merchants, ginger merchants and pear merchants, and even the increase in demand for super fruits and direct fruit all contributed to the price rise at the beginning of Apple listing. But soon after, with the large number of Apple listed in Yantai and other places in Shandong Province, people in the market soon found that there was a greater risk in purchasing and hoarding apples, because the total volume of the market was not large, and the probability of Yantai apple increasing production was also high. Next, apple traders and cold storage managers took the lead in purchasing cautiously, and then fruit farmers actively sold. Some traders and big fruit farmers who had been optimistic about the future market also changed their attitude. What's more, after the frost season, apples should not be hung on trees for a long time. Therefore, before and after the frost solar term, the market prices of apple in Yantai, the main apple producing areas in China, were higher A sharp decline. It is reported that the price of 80 fruits in Yantai has dropped from 3.2 yuan per catty to about 2.8 yuan per catty.
As the largest fruit produced and sold annually, the storage volume and inventory structure during the acquisition period have a significant impact on the future sales. The proportion of merchants and fruit growers constitutes the inventory structure. The merchants have stronger anti risk ability than the fruit growers. If the proportion of fruit growers is high, the bargaining power is weak in the later stage; on the contrary, if the proportion of merchants is high, the later stage is more resistant to price. It is preliminarily estimated that the annual output of cold storage in China will reach 9.5-11 million tons in 2020, exceeding the 8.5 million tons previously expected. This year's national total inventory is second to or equal to that of 10.5039 million tons in 2019, but the purchase price is generally higher than that of last year, and the proportion of customers and merchants is large, and the high price suppresses demand. At present, consumption before the Spring Festival is difficult to return to the normal level of previous years, and the purchase price of substitute citrus is relatively low, which has a great impact on Apple sales. In the future, low-cost fruit sales will be the main trend. Good fruits will not be sold fast before the year, and the price difference between production and marketing areas will return to normal, and apple prices may continue to decline.
