This year's peach harvest

Recently, walking in the major farmer's markets and morning markets in the island city, the sales of peaches have increased significantly. Some citizens have discovered that the peaches on the market this year are not only sweet, but also very cheap. The reporter learned that compared with the price of five or six yuan per catty in previous years, the retail price of many peaches in the island market is only about 3 yuan per catty, and some stalls are even lower, selling 1 yuan per catty. According to industry insiders, due to the bumper harvest of peaches all over the country, the average price of all kinds of peaches has dropped by 40% year-on-year, while the island city market has “digested” peaches up to 150 tons per day.

"Peach a pound of money, there is so much left, pack it away!" Yesterday, in front of a fruit stall in Ji'an Road morning market, the vendor Mr. Zhao sold the last six pounds of peaches on his booth to a citizen. In the past few days, in front of the island's major supermarkets, farmers' markets, and fruit stalls in the morning market, peaches have become the protagonists. Different from previous years, the price of peaches that have just been listed this year is generally low. "The cheapest peach last year also got ten yuan and three pounds. I didn't expect it to be so cheap this year." Ms. Wang told reporters that she had even encountered peaches of 1 yuan/kg several times during the days when she bought peaches. The appearance looked a little inferior, but the taste was very good after tasting. Ms. Wang said that the price of peaches this year has been the lowest in recent years, and peach has become a must-eat fruit for her family every day.

The reporter visited the Anshan Second Road Farmers' Market, the Tuandao Farmers Market and a large-scale Shangchao Road in Zhongshan Road. It was found that this year's peaches were indeed much cheaper than last year. Among them, a peach with a relatively high price is priced at 7.5 yuan / kg. "Our of these are Laoshantao, the price will naturally be relatively expensive. If you just eat it yourself, you can buy some cheaper ones, although the products are almost the same." At the Tuandao Farmers Market, Ms. Yi, the fruit trader, said.

According to Yuan Ming, the person in charge of Qingdao Dongfang Dingxin International Agricultural and Sideline Products Trading Center, the average price of all kinds of peaches in this market has dropped by 40% compared with last year due to the bumper harvest of peaches all over the country. Yuan Ming told reporters that the current peaches in the island market are mainly produced in Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan and the Inner Mongolian region, and the local peach market is relatively small.

“Some similar to the previous days, the sales of peaches in our market today are 200 tons, of which about 150 tons are directly “digested” in our Qingdao market, and the rest are supplied to the Yanwei area.” Yuan Ming said.
