After the Spring Festival this year, news of the price of onions has spread all over the place. Before the holiday, there was only a few cents a pound of green onions. By mid-March, the price had soared to five yuan per catty. Beijing even had 10 yuan to buy two onions. Quotes, ordinary green onions have become "to the money onions." In recent days, although the price of green onions has fallen slightly, it still maintains a higher price. What caused the soaring price of green onions?

The reporter went to a vegetable market in Haidian District, Beijing. The entire market reporter only found two merchants selling onions. They told reporters that the price of onion has gone up and there are fewer people selling onions. In front of stalls selling shallots, after more than 20 minutes, the reporter never found anyone buying onions. In the face of rising prices of scallions, most citizens said that the high prices are unbearable. Many people will buy less green onions or buy green onions alternatives.

The merchants selling onions told reporters that onions before the Spring Festival were less than two dollars a pound. After the Spring Festival, the onion prices rose to more than four, or even more than five. What is the cause of the rise in prices of onion? In the face of rising prices of welsh onions, many residents have said that people selling green onions have pushed up prices. However, onion retailers also say that selling onions is not making money.

At Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, we learned that most of the scallions currently sold on the Beijing market come from southern regions such as Shanghai and Fujian. What are the reasons for this, so that the prices of green onions, which were not “golden and expensive,” have turned upside down in a short period of time? Let's take a look at our reporter's investigation at Shanghai, the source of welsh onion cultivation.

In a green field in Lvxiang Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai, more than 20 farmers are slicing onions. The person who is directing onions in the onion field is Xu Qilong, a vegetable wholesaler in the Beijing Xinfadi Market. From January to March each year, during the open period of northern onion production, Lao Xu must purchase green onions from Shanghai and send them to Beijing. He told us that today he has purchased about 11 acres of green onion and the purchase price is 1.5 yuan per catty.

In that case, the green onions packaged by the Tigers from the farmer's hands were less than 0.5 yuan per kilogram. They are now sold to wholesalers in Beijing at a price of 1.5 yuan per kilogram. 1 yuan.

The contract cooperation model of “farmers + dealers” is a common practice in cultivating and selling scallions. The distributor, commonly known as the "package owner", talks about the price with the peasants when the green onions have just been planted. The peasants are contracted to sell all scallions and then sold to the wholesalers in the harvest season. At the time of adding tiger purse under the green onion, the real grower was Zhang Changqing, a 42-year-old farmer. Zhang Changqing is not very clear about what kind of scallion he grows in the city's vegetable market.

Zhang Changqing is actually not a local peasant in Shanghai. The scallions that he planted were rented through the land stream. Zhang Changqing calculated for us an account, the rent per mu is 1,000 yuan, 150 yuan for cultivated land, 120 yuan for buying seeds, 800 yuan for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, plus the wages for hired people, the total cost is more than 2,000 yuan each. The actual income of mu onion is only a few hundred yuan.

Zhang Changqing told reporters that he only knows how to farm and know nothing about sales. As a wholesaler, Mr. Xu has also been talking to his son in Beijing's Xinfadi Market about the sale price of scallions. He fears that the onions bought today will not be able to make money after they arrive in Beijing.

Twenty hours later, at 1 pm on March 26th, Xu Qilong’s 60,000 kilos of scallions were shipped from the sea to the Beijing Xinfadi Market. Xu Kelong’s son Xu Kechao is responsible for picking up and trading at the Scallions Processing Zone in Xinfadi. Xu Kechao told reporters that because of the bad weather in Shanghai, there was too much clay on his green onions.

After Xu Kechao shipped the green onions to the new market, he also needed to remove the leaves and dirt outside the green onions and repackage them. From onion to pure onion, can be sold to the next level of wholesalers. Seeing the green onions stick so much soil, Xu Kechao was very depressed. Because too much soil on the scallion will directly affect the onion rate of the onion.

Xu Kechao said that the bad weather this year in the lush region has directly affected the onion rate of the onions. At the same time, because of the increase in gasoline prices, labor costs have also increased a lot. This has increased the cost of selling onion scallions more than in previous years. Xu Kechao told reporters that the 60,000 kilograms of green onions that were shipped from Shanghai took away 7,000 yuan in transportation fees, 500 yuan in handling fees, 2,000 yuan in market management fees, and 6,000 yuan in processing fees. According to the onion rate of 60% of the onion, the cost of each onion of the onion was increased by 50 cents.

In the new market, other onion wholesalers also said that onion prices have risen, but their business has become increasingly difficult to do.

Xu Kechao's welsh onions are sold to next-level onion wholesalers, which then sell them to scallions retailers who are directly facing consumers. Today, Lao Li wholesaled four thousand pound scallions at a price of three yuan per catty and shipped it to the Dongchang Lihua vegetable wholesale market in Chaoyang District of Beijing, and sold it to a vegetable retailer.

Lao Li said that he has been engaged in the wholesale business of green onions for more than a decade. In previous years, he was able to sell 70,000 jins a day, and even more than 10,000 jins. But now that he is pulling four pounds, it is still not easy to sell. The reporter followed Lao Li from the new market to Dongchang Lihua Market. At two o'clock in the morning, the market has begun to bust. Vegetable retailers have come to buy food.

Lao Li said that the four kilograms of scallions that he had bought today had a cost of 60 bucks for shipping, 60 bucks for market management fees, plus stall fees, and losses caused by leeks and leaves. He estimated that he could earn more than 200 yuan. Money. In the market we also interviewed retailers who came to wholesale green onions.

The retailers who come to wholesale green onions tell us that, besides the green onions and leaves and stall fees, every gallon of green onions can earn fifty cents, and if they cannot be sold on the same day, they can only sell at a reduced price.

The price of one pound of scallion from the Shanghai farmers' vegetable land was only 0.5 yuan. After the package owner raised the price and resold it to the wholesaler, it became 1.5 yuan per catty, plus the long-distance transportation costs, the cost of entering the wholesale market, and further After processing, the wholesale price of green onions has doubled again. Many circulation links are an important reason why prices of onions have steadily increased. However, most people in the industry in the interview believe that the most important reason is that production in major producing areas in the North has been drastically reduced, resulting in a shortage of green onions in the country. The imbalance between supply and demand is the main reason for the skyrocketing price. Let's take a look at the investigation of the reporter in Shandong Zhangqiu, the main producing region of onion.

The reporter came to Zhangqiu City, one of the most important scallions distribution centers in Daqiu City, Dasang Village Wholesale Market. The village party secretary Xie Yuhua told us that this season should be the peak season for onion trade. At least two or three hundred tons of shallots are sent through the market every day. . However, from the spring of this year until now, the wholesale market has always been deserted.

In the lush green land of Dasang Village, Xie Yuhua told reporters that at this time in previous years, wintering onions in the fields should have grown more than 30 centimeters in new leaves and were listed in large quantities. However, several significant cooling downs since the beginning of the year have seriously affected The growth of green onions.

Xie Yuhua said that in the normal years, the average yield per mu of local onions is more than 6,000 kg. This year, the harvest of Chinese scallion and acre is only 2,000 kilos per mu, and the rate of output reduction exceeds 60%. The continuing low temperature weather delayed the emergence and listing of overwintering scallions, resulting in a shortage of scallions in the northern markets and rising wholesale and retail prices. However, the rise in onion prices has not brought much benefit to growers.

Lijia Village, onion farmer in Zhangqiu City, Shandong Province: Two thousand dollars was invested in one mu of land. Last year it sold four more hair and weighed six thousand pounds. It was more than two thousand bucks. Just enough money. Now it is a lot of money. His output is very high. Ah, now only two thousand kilograms, but also two thousand dollars.

In fact, as early as November 2010, when the fresh onion was first listed, the price of the land had also appeared at a high price of 8 cents per kilogram. At that time, many onion farmers did not sell, and the results waited until April of 2011. The onion supply exceeds demand, the price fell to a dime a catty, many onion farmers have lost their capital, and the enthusiasm of planting green onions has also been seriously affected.

Liu Ruiyun, farmer in Mingjia Village, Zhangqiu City: The price is good this year. At that time, the price could not be a few cents a pound. At that time, 5 acres of green onions were sold for more than a thousand dollars, and the rest was left in the ground. , so it will not be planted this year. What kind? Kind of corn, around you like this kind of corn? More, the village now has fewer onions.

According to Li Jialu, chairman of the Qishan Vegetable Specialty Cooperative in Zhangqiu City, despite the large area of ​​production cuts in Shandong scallions, the price of scallions in this round has skyrocketed and the root cause is not in the main producing areas in Shandong. For many current media, the onion price hike is largely due to the speculation of hot money. Liu Tong Liutong, director of the statistics department of the wholesale market for new vegetables in the area, also denied this claim. Liu Tong believes that the current price of the onion has begun to enter the decline channel, but the tight supply situation will continue for a period of time, wait until June in Shandong, Hebei and other places on the market after the new onion can return to normal.

The reporter in Zhangqiu City also learned that in order to catch up with this year's market price hike, some cases that have never happened in previous years have also appeared.

Xie Yuhua: This is called sprouting onion. After sprouting in the spring, it can begin to grow after being so high. However, this year, the onion supply is very scarce. Now many ordinary people put (sprouts onions) to plan. Before the time came, plan ahead. ”

Li Jialu: This onion was not sold before, and it was the first time in history. When the leaves are grown, they are sold. Dry onions are not for sale. Because this year, there is a serious lack of green onions, this onion is also very good to sell, because there is no market ah.

Let Li Jialu be concerned that the onion that has not yet grown out of leaves will be listed and sold in advance, which may adversely affect the supply of scallions in the future.

Li Jialu believes that in the face of frequent fluctuating prices of Welsh onion, it is imperative to guide farmers in planting and reduce the cost of circulation.

Li Jialu: One is to establish a national supply and demand information website so that everyone can see how many acres are needed each year to grow green onions all over the country. Basically, according to this number, planted next year, it can't be ignored, and another is the agricultural super docking, the city's supermarkets. Cooperatives that go directly to the countryside and onions, sign contracts. ”

In the face of the ups and downs of the price of scallions, Liu Tong, the director of the statistics department of the wholesale market for vegetables in Xinfadi, made a suggestion to the peasants, that is, to keep a close eye on the seeds when planting land.

Liu Tong, director of the statistics department of the new wholesale vegetable market, said that when farmers grow this dish, including other things, they look at this seed. If this seed is sold well, the seed will be produced in the future. There are slow sales. If there is no interest in this seed, or if there is less species, it may be a high price in the future.

Half hour observation:

A low temperature led to a sharp drop in the production of northern scallions in the main producing areas. This seems to be the main reason for this year's soaring onion prices. However, we can still see the important reason leading to price imbalances, that is, the flow of links to increase. A recent frontier report on the strategic issues of China's trade circulation service industry released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences shows that at present, the public welfare in the field of trade circulation has not been taken seriously, and the high circulation cost has led to high prices of agricultural products. According to the report, the proportion of the circulation cost in the final sales price per unit product has reached an average of 50% to 70% or even higher, which has become a new obstacle to expanding domestic demand and increasing consumption. If we do not eliminate institutional problems with high taxes and fees in circulation, and do not solve the problem of higher transportation costs than production costs, it will be difficult to really solve the problem of excessively high prices for agricultural products. The fact that the National Circulation Work Conference has been postponed again this year is rooted in the fact that the interests of various ministries have not yet been coordinated. We hope that this late meeting will be truly well thought out and bring real development policies to the circulation industry. It will not only help the healthy development of the industry, but also play a substantial role in reducing the prices of agricultural products.
