Data Map

According to the Yonhap News Agency on the 21st, the data on the day of the South Korean chain supermarket Yiyi showed that from July 1st to 18th of this month, Taozi topped the list among the fruit sold. In 2020 and 2021, the sales of watermelons and peaches ranked first and second, but since the summer of this year, peach sales have increased by 22.9%, and watermelon has decreased by 8.7%. Easy to buy, the reason why this phenomenon occurs is because the number of small families formed by 1 to 2 people in South Korea increases, thereby reducing the consumption demand of watermelon. According to analysis, because small families are not very inclined to buy a whole watermelon, the demand is transferred to a smaller peach. Although the overall sales of watermelons have decreased, the sales of small watermelon increased by 11.5%. In addition, the price has also affected the changes in popular fruit rankings. South Korea ’s agricultural and aquatic food and food circulation commune revealed that on the 19th of this month, the wholesale price of white peaches every 4.5 kg of white peaches was about 20,000 won (about 102 yuan), a year -on -year decrease of 7.4%. Instead, the wholesale price of a single watermelon increased by 27.8%at the same time. According to analysis, Taozi's output and shipments have increased this year, and price competitiveness has increased. (Han Wen)
