On November 16th, some media reported that the cabbage of Hai'an County, the hometown of Chinese cabbage, could not be sold for two cents a pound.

On November 17th, under the collective “helpful cries” of users' microblogging, mass media, and online media, good news came: Hai'an Guangming Village Party Branch and the director of Hongqi Village’s mobile phone were almost detonated. Orders from all walks of life, enterprises and institutions came one after another. In the morning alone, more than 30 trucks came to consign cabbage...

Why is it slow-moving?

Fortunately, at the same time, the 300 million kilograms of Dabai had finally arrived. At the same time, people couldn't help but ask: Why does the cabbage in Nantong Haian County suffer serious historical slowdowns?

Cabbage unsalable, analysis of relevant persons, there are mainly three factors.

First, the planting area has expanded, and the amount has increased naturally. For more than 20 years, almost every village in Hai'an has planted Chinese cabbage. Due to the high prices, farmers’ enthusiasm for planting has greatly increased. In addition, the good market last year was related to the increase in exports to South Korea. Under the impetus of the Korean kimchi crisis and other rumors, Chinese cabbage The price once reached a record high. This wave of extreme market sent many farmers to taste the sweetness. Therefore, vegetable growers have expanded their crops this year, but they did not expect that the expansion of vegetables would directly lead to a plunge in vegetable prices.

Second, Hai’an was continuously raining in July and August. The sowing time for open-air planting was postponed, and the time conflicted with the greenhouse vegetable, resulting in a centralized listing and exacerbating the slow sales. The large-scale planter, Kaikaiming, subleased 300 mu of farmland at a price of 1,000 yuan a year, and planted 100 mu of cabbage this year. He said that in July and August this year, Haian was continuously raining, many vegetables were flooded, Chinese cabbage had to be sowed late, and the sowing date overlapped with greenhouse vegetables, resulting in the listing period is concentrated in early November. In general, open-grown Chinese cabbage should be listed 20 days to 1 month in advance.

The third is the favorable conditions during the growing season, and the harvest of the main Chinese cabbages in Shandong and other countries has led to a drop in vegetable prices that exceeds people's expectations.

The relevant person in charge of the Hai'an County Bureau of Agriculture lamented that at present, the price of the landlord cannot be sold for two pounds or two pounds. However, in the big cities, the high price of one dollar a pound is still hung. The middle spread is too large. The problem of high profits in the circulation sector needs to be resolved. Only in this way can we solve the problem of farmers’ difficulties in selling vegetables fundamentally. He hopes that people in the city will come to Hai'an, eat more Chinese cabbage, and help farmers overcome difficulties.

"Rescue" requires rationality

In fact, despite the improvement in the sales of Hai An cabbage, the sales volume has been increasing, but it still needs the help of the enthusiastic people to thoroughly digest the “inventory” of thousands of mu. What needs special explanation is that because the freight is too high, it is not worthwhile for individuals or small groups to go to Hai'an to buy Chinese cabbage. It is recommended that you go to the supermarket at your doorstep. This is also helping farmers.
