Cabbage price unsalable

Since November, cabbage in Beijing, Hebei, Shandong and other places have encountered slow sales again, and the market price hit a new low in recent years. No one in the producing area took the food and the price fell to the end. The vegetable grower had to play the short-term labor to maintain his livelihood. The income of the two-month laborer was far more than the one-year-long crop.

Cabbage five points a pound no one to receive this year's vegetable harvest, since late October, a variety of vegetable prices have declined, including cabbage as the worst. According to the data provided by the new market, in the previous month, except for a slight rise before and after the snowfall, the price of cabbage in the Beijing market has been declining. Since November, it has never exceeded two cents a pound, and in the past week it has fallen to a five- A pound.

In the neighboring Shandong and Hebei vegetable production areas, the phenomenon of unsalable sales has become apparent. According to the reporter's knowledge, the current price for the acquisition of cabbage in the origin has dropped to five or six cents per kilogram, but dealers are still not interested.

"A lot of cabbages are thrown on the roadside, and more people simply rot in the ground." The dealer Zheng originally had to go to the producing area every two days to collect food, but he hasn't been to the past half a month. "A truck of Chinese cabbage will carry a small two thousand yuan with a shipment. A catty of cabbage will earn a few cents. How much will it cost?"

The vegetable grower chooses to take a short-term job because the cabbage is not purchased. Many vegetable farmers have to give up the harvest and let the vegetables rot in the ground. In order to make up for the losses, many vegetable farmers chose to work for other farmers. The wage earners earned in two months far exceeds the one-year income of vegetables, making farmers feel unbalanced.

"As early as this is also a kind of planting land?" Shandong Heze vegetable grower Zhang Zhongwen has recently helped in the sheds of neighboring villages. He will be able to get 100 yuan for working in 8 hours, and earn more than 2,000 yuan in one month. "If you work for two months, you can have a small five-thousand-dollar bill; if you have a one-year Chinese cabbage, you don't lose money."

The short-term shortage of short-term workers is not unrelated to the fact that young people are mostly employed in cities. “Children have entered the city, and I work with my wife in the fields. I am too busy to hire people.” Zhang Zhongwen told reporters that children could come back to help him in previous years, but in recent years, the children have not taken off. Open up. "But this year's cabbage market is not good enough, and it is better to hire someone to lose money than to let the vegetables rot in the ground and go out to find a job."

Next year, Zhang Zhongwen intends to wrap up the land, and he and his wife rely on short-term workers to make a living. "The living energy in the greenhouse is dried from spring to winter, and the money is practical and much stronger than the cabbage!"
