Do not let the cabbage hurt the vegetable

This year's vegetable cultivation can be described as good weather, but in the face of the fruits of the field, farmers who harvest bumper crops can not laugh. While vegetable growers are still worrying about the sale of potatoes, there have been reports of slow-moving cabbage in Shandong, Hebei, Anhui, and Liaoning. Now that it has entered the winter season, the weather is getting colder and colder. If the Chinese cabbage in the fields is sold out, it will be frozen and cause greater losses. How about the current sales of Chinese cabbage?

Origin Yutian cabbage harvest does not make money

Feng Litian, Dongliu Village, Linnan Cangzhen, Yutian County, Hebei Province, is the head of the professional farmer cooperative of Jiqiang. This year his family planted more than 200 mu of Chinese cabbage, which has sold 70%, and the remaining 30% decided on the winter storage. “Now the price of Chinese cabbage has dropped dramatically. A month ago, we sold more than 2 pounds of pounds. Now we sell about 1 pound of wool.” Feng Litian said that the rent of 200 mu of land he rented was 600 yuan per mu, and the fertilizer was used as a seed. Spending 250 yuan, planting harvesting and other labor costs 200 yuan, the cost of planting an acre of cabbage more than 1,000 yuan, according to the current sales price, according to 10,000 jin per mu calculation, can only sell 1,000 yuan, "barely guaranteed, fundamentally earned No money, but I feel that it is a pity that cabbage is rotten in the ground. As long as it sells and loses money, it sells it.” Considering that cabbage can sell more than 5 cents a kilogram last year, the net income of one mu of land reaches 4,000 yuan. Can not help feeling, "This is the size of the production of vegetables, our local people often say that catch up with a good year, earning the top three years of the year."

Feng Litian said that Yutian's cultivation of Chinese cabbage is still dominated by individual households. Each family grows about three or four acres of land. Then the retailers who have planted their own contracted land have saved the cost of rent. Is it profitable? Feng Litian thinks that they lost the income of migrant workers while renting in the province, which is equivalent to spending more labor costs, so the income did not increase.

If farmers choose to transport Chinese cabbage to the wholesale market in Beijing, the transportation cost will be 5 cents per catty, a 10,000 cats will be transported by a car, and it will cost 500 yuan, plus a reasonable loss, even if it is sold in the Beijing market. A pound of money, basically no money to earn.

Feng Litian said that farmers are very much looking forward to avoiding the current low-cost selling through the winter storage and looking forward to selling a good price during New Year's Day. However, most farmers have limited storage conditions and capacity and generally can only store ten tons of cabbage, so at least Only 60% of their own production can be sold before the remaining winter cabbage can be stored.

Feng Litian thinks that the reasons for the low price of cabbage this year are mainly due to the large planting area, good weather conditions, no disaster, high yield per mu, and the impact of greenhouse vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes and other fine dishes, plus the export of this year. With a sudden decrease in Chinese cabbage, the purchase volume was greatly reduced. In order to open up the sales of Chinese cabbage, Feng Litian organized several cooperatives' business teams to connect the Super Agricultural Supermarkets in large and medium-sized cities. The county also expanded the sales of Chinese cabbage by holding Chinese cabbage festivals. The promotion effect was good.

Li Changzeng, vegetable station manager of Yutian County Bureau of Agricultural Economics, said that the planting area of ​​Chinese cabbage in the county has reached 85,000 mu this year, and the output is 620,000 tons. Currently, it has sold 60%. Because the storage capacity is only 30%, sales tasks are still relatively difficult. “This year's cabbage market is generally not good, and the country’s cabbage planting area and production have increased too much,” said Li Changzeng.

Sales in Beijing have a steady and low price

On November 10th, in the day-to-day farmer's market in Beijing's Asian Games Village, aunt Lee pointed out that the two Chinese cabbages just bought in the shopping cart told reporters: “This year cabbage is too cheap, 11 pounds of two Chinese cabbages, only 3 pieces. Money last year spent less than 11 pieces to buy.” When a reporter asked whether it would be cheaper to store more cabbage, Li Ah-chi said that life is now good, like changing the pattern to eat, and what the market is Can buy, usually what to eat on the day to buy what is not a dish.

The reporter then interviewed Liu Tong, head of the statistical department of the Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in Beijing's Xinfadi, who introduced the recent price trend of Chinese cabbage: “The price of cabbage in recent days has stabilized at about 1 gross per kilogram, and this time last year it can sell 5 Mao 5 has fallen by more than 70%." Liu Tong said that last year was affected by the "Kimchi crisis" in South Korea and inflation expectations. Dealers desperately sought to collect reserves. The farmers who planted cabbage last year made a lot of money. This year, many farmers are blindly following the trend, resulting in a significant increase in production. Because the habits of the northern people of the Dongcun cabbage are also changing. The cabbage is even harder to sell. The vegetable growers rush to sell, causing the price to fall into a trough. The market sales are only slightly higher than last year. Increase, basically flat. “Even if 1 cent is a pound, ordinary people cannot eat cabbage every day.” He suggested that vegetable farmers should pay attention to the changes in the market before planting vegetables. “I gave the farmer friend a wake-up call. If you don’t know what to do, look at it every year. If we look at the price of seeds, if the seeds are expensive, it means that there are many varieties of this species, and it is very likely that prices will fall. We must avoid this species. This is an effective way to avoid risks."

In addition, the reduction in circulation costs also reduces the cost of sales. From November 1st to February 1st next year, eight kinds of winter “dish” dishes such as Chinese cabbage, potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes will enter the new market, and 2% of the turnover will be waived. Since the Xinfadi wholesale market accounts for 80% of the total vegetable supply in Beijing, and these 8 varieties account for about 40% of the trading volume of new-generation vegetables, of which cabbage accounted for 7%, the incentive of this policy is not tolerated. Ignore. Liu Tong said that this policy has promoted a large number of retailers to transport their vegetables to the wholesale market for sale, which has also stimulated the enthusiasm of distributors to a certain extent, and effectively alleviated the current situation of poor sales of vegetables.

Expert solution to master supply and demand situation to improve production and marketing methods

Zhang Yumei of the Institute of Agricultural Information of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences believes that the deeper reason for the drop in cabbage prices this year is the contradiction between the production and sales of small farmer production and the big market. Overly decentralized farmer business activities make it difficult for the government to accurately know the output and demand of Chinese cabbage. It is even more difficult for vegetable farmers to grasp the market supply and demand situation. Smallholder farmers face the dual risks of nature and the market. They lack storage capacity, processing capacity, export capacity and self-rescue capability, and it is difficult to rely on their own strength to stabilize price fluctuations.

Zhang Yumei suggested that in the short term, it is necessary to strengthen the communication and convergence between production and sales, and reduce the severely slow sales of Chinese cabbage in local areas. From a long-term perspective, it is necessary to strengthen the degree of organization and specialization of rural households and to carry out production and sales in a more planned manner. At the same time, expand the storage and processing capacity of vegetables, strengthen the extension of the industrial chain, strengthen the ability to respond to market risks, and stabilize farmers’ expectations. income.

For vegetable farmers, vegetables are fresh and live agricultural products, they are not resistant to storage, and they are risky. There is no guarantee for the minimum purchase price, and the work of the wind and the sun is very laborious. In addition, the costs of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, diesel, and labor continue to increase. It is not easy to raise money and grow vegetables. If you have a hard year waiting for a good harvest, you will not be able to sell it. When you are in your hands and rotten in the ground, your painstaking efforts will completely injure the heart of the vegetable cultivator and are willing to grow vegetables. It will be less and less. Premier Wen Jiabao recently introduced Russia's economic situation at home and abroad, saying that the most important way to regulate prices is to promote production, and only if the prices of agricultural products are reasonable, farmers' reasonable incomes are guaranteed, and they have production enthusiasm, can they truly ensure the sustainable development of agricultural production.

Although the vegetable market has its own value laws, but because of the "money bag" of the farmers and the "vegetable basket" of the citizens, the government departments must strengthen the guidance, scientific regulation and control, establish a complete circulation supervision system, and fully grasp the vegetable market information. It is promptly and openly communicated to guide farmers to analyze the market, scientific planting, and reasonable planting, to increase the degree of organization of farmers and the market sensitivity of professional cooperative organizations, to expand the industrial chain of agricultural products, to increase the smooth construction of logistics, and to guide the market to reduce the middle Link, reduce circulation costs, improve circulation efficiency.
