"Last month or a few cents a pound, and now how to rise to a block of 6,7 pounds it?" Jining County, Jining, a garlic farmer looked at the front of the garlic trading market electronic screen, helplessly shook his head, The wholesale price of garlic has more than doubled in less than a month. On the 27th, the reporter learned from the garlic international trading market in Jinxiang County, Jining City, Shandong Province that ordinary garlic (mixed grade) began its price in mid-July after the lowest price of this year, which was the lowest price of this year, five cents and six cents. A quick rebound, in early August, there has been a 70% increase. As of the 27th, the price of garlic traded on the official website of the Jinxiang Garlic International Exchange was 1.68-1.73 yuan/kg.
"Isn't you garlic?" Will you come back this year?
The reporter visited and found that garlic, which was also known as "garlic and garlic," more than a month ago, is now difficult to trace in the garlic trading market. Many garlic traders in the market believe that there is little room for significant price increases for garlic in the future, and the situation of “little garlic” last year is unlikely.
Li, a garlic business operator, told reporters that in accordance with the laws of the past, garlic should be put into storage before and after August, otherwise it would be difficult to save. With the arrival of the time limit for the arrival of garlic, many garlic merchants who had waited before have begun to acquire. With the increase in trading volume, garlic prices began to rise, coupled with the demand of garlic deep-processing companies, garlic farmers lose money in the mood, The garlic dealer can only increase the purchase price. "At this time last year, the wholesale price of 7 cm garlic was 7 yuan a pound, this price is not possible this year." Lee said that in late July, garlic prices continue to soar, and the current price is still strong.
Jinxiang Town, a garlic merchant told reporters that at present, Jinxiang garlic has 90% of the storage, there are about 10% of garlic in the hands of garlic farmers, he analyzed that most of the garlic has completed the acquisition, so the late price The possibility of continued rise will not be great.
Orders in foreign markets have a greater impact on garlic prices. It is understood that Jinxiang garlic has been exported to all parts of the world because of its good quality, especially in Southeast Asian countries. “Basically, half of the garlic is exported to foreign countries, and the remaining half goes to the domestic market.” Mr. Li told reporters, “The price of garlic is closely related to foreign markets. If there is a large foreign demand for Jinxiang garlic, there are many orders and the price is too high. High, then the garlic that goes to the domestic market will be relatively reduced, so the price of domestic garlic will be relatively high. On the contrary, if the foreign market has fewer orders and less demand, it will inevitably cause a large amount of domestic market. This is a basic market rule."
The reporter learned from the information released by the Commerce Department of Jining City that in June, the country exported 179,000 tons of fresh or frozen garlic, an increase of 81% over the previous year. The Jining Inspection and Quarantine Bureau's statistical export volume was 100,000 tons, an increase of 122% year-on-year, and it doubled. Statistics show that after July 10, the price of garlic rose steadily, orders from foreign merchants increased significantly, and the business department expects the export volume to increase in the later period.
Deep-processed products regained their popularity. Due to the high price of garlic in the past two years, some deep-processed products failed to be produced in large quantities. This year, when garlic prices were low, some garlic processing companies, such as garlic dehydration, garlic oil, and garlic, took the opportunity to purchase garlic. Processing production has strongly driven the demand for garlic. “We reserve some two or three months in advance every year when the price of garlic is low, in order to prevent prices from rising as in the past year, and guarantee the sales of export products. At present, the impact of rising garlic prices on us is not significant. "The head of a company that deals in deep processing of garlic in Yushan Town said.
Follow-up report: At present, although the purchase price of garlic has doubled, the retail market does not have large ups and downs. On August 28th, the reporter learned from a farmer's market in Jining that the retail price of garlic has recently been maintained at 2 yuan/kg.
