When the plums are in the ambush, Wuhan ushered in high temperature weather, which makes the summer watermelon the fruit that many people must eat every day. At present, the watermelon is full, and the supply is very sufficient.

However, attentive citizens may find that when the inquiry purchase, the value of watermelon of the same variety of watermelons has not increased from the previous month, especially the most consumed rock sugar unicorn melon, which are raised by 0.3 yuan to 0.8 per catty. Yuan is not waiting. Why is this? Jimu Journalists conducted a visit.

The increase in the supply of watermelon in the same kind of watermelon

"Now the weather is getting hotter, and the more melons on the market, the price of the same variety of watermelons in the same store, and the price has risen." On July 9, Ms. Zhou, citizen of Wuhan City expressed her doubts: she was at home The rock sugar melon bought at the door has always been 2.99 yuan a pound. In recent days, it has been found that the price has become "ten yuan and three pounds."

On July 10, Jimu Journalists visited the fruit store near Ms. Zhou's house and found that the watermelon in the store was divided into two types: rock sugar melon and unicorn melon, which were 10 yuan, 3 catties and 3.8 yuan per catty. Among them, the former was sold 2.99 yuan a pound before July, and the latter sold 3.5 yuan a pound. Both watermelon was increased at the beginning of this month.

For the reason for the price increase, the owner said that "good melon needs to be grabbed." According to him, the wholesale market and the rock sugar melon of the supplier department are divided into level, and now the 10 yuan 3 catties and 3.8 yuan pound of rock sugar are relatively cost -effective varieties: "There is also cheap melon in the market, but it is also cheap melon, but The taste is not crispy enough, and the sweetness is relatively low. Everyone wants to get the crispy and sweet melon, so you need to rush to grab the melon every day. " Home shops hope to get cost -effective watermelons, but the supply can not keep up with consumption, and the price will rise.

The main variety of market species of watermelon starts to enter the stubble period

In order to prove the retail terminal, on the afternoon of July 10, Jimu journalists came to a fruit wholesale market near Baishazhou Avenue. Although it has already passed the concentrated transaction of fruit, there are still vendors from time to time to pick up goods in the fruit bank, and watermelon is a key procurement target that is not allowed.

"Now there are watermelons in what kind of varieties and price, but it must be the best watermelon market with thin skin, crispy meat, and high sweetness, and the price is also rising." The wholesale price of crispy and sweet rock sugar melon in Shandong and other places is around 3 yuan per catty, which has increased a few cents than in June: "In fact, the price has been increased since mid -to -late June, but the increase is relatively small, and the increase rate is also increased. It's slow, because this price is already higher than the previous two years. "

Later, Jimu Journalists visited a number of fruit shops, fresh fresh stores, and collecting markets in Hankou Aunt Tree, Changqing Three Road and other places. They learned that the most sold in the market was rock sugar unicorn melon, but the price was relatively more price. High. Among them, these varieties of watermelons ranging from 3.3 yuan per catty to 4.5 yuan according to the place of production. Compared with the end of June, the price ranges from 0.3 yuan to 0.8 yuan per catty.

For the reason for the price increase, wholesalers introduced that, in addition to the large -scale terminal consumption and the market pretty sales of rock sugar melon, the main factors are that this type of watermelon began to enter the stubble period. The number of watermelons with high sweetness and crispy taste of watermelon is decreasing, so many terminal merchants need to "grab" a part of a better taste and higher quality melon, which brings price increases.

Watermelon in various production areas is also cheap to buy in the market.

Although the high -quality watermelon has a strong price and has entered the price increase channel, Jimu Journalists have learned in the visit that since the beginning of July, the second and third stubble watermelons from Henan, Yunnan, Anhui, Shandong, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang have successively successively successively successively have successively successively successively successively. Start picking and enter the Wuhan market through various channels. If citizens have no special requirements for watermelon, they can also buy cheap melons per catty per catty.

In the water ditch wholesale market, Jimu Journalists have learned that in addition to the high sales of rock sugar melon in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, watermelon from Henan is also relatively high.

Wholesaler Jiang said that in July and August of each year, watermelons from Henan and Anhui will become one of the main varieties of the market.

Liu Cong, the person in charge of a local fruit chain store, also told Jimu Journalists that they start to order different types of watermelon in various watermelon production areas every spring. Zone: "The watermelon market has long begun to subdivide. The higher the overall market price, the more important the watermelon that is relatively cheap to us." He said that cheap fruits have a market at any time.

Under the high temperature day, the price of melon or maintaining a high level

In previous years, the watermelon market from June to August will usher in the turning point of the price. After the price increase of some high -quality watermelon this year, will it "touch" in July when watermelon in various production areas will be concentrated in the market?

In this regard, Jimu Journalists learned from many fruits through sales that the trend of the watermelon market is not only related to production, but also related to the weather. With the high temperature weather in Wuhan's plums, it is difficult for watermelon prices to fall significantly in the near future.

According to the introduction of fruits and vegetables at Wuhan Modern Agricultural Education Center, according to the law, the hotter weather, the higher the sales of watermelon, and the stronger the price, so it is not easy for citizens to eat "one yuan melon" like "one yuan melon" in July of the previous two years.People in the industry also said that compared with other watermelon production areas across the country, watermelon does not belong to the leading fruit varieties of Wuhan crops. Although in recent years, there have been preferred planting for multiple varieties and the output has continued to increase. HoweverIt is relatively weaker than the main production areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, most local growers choose to choose precocious varieties, or pick up listing between May and June to compete for peaks to rob the market and harvest better prices.However, this also means that in the best sales period in midsummer, the Wuhan market is mainly based on foreign potato, and the price of melon in high temperatures is naturally higher.
