Customers increased their flowers planting, and this year was affected by the epidemic. Some projects and activities were canceled one after another. As a result, the number of customers' ordering is reduced, and the sales volume is basically similar to the previous year, "Zhou Shiliang said.

Before the epidemic, the price of fertilizers fluctuated due to various factors every year, but the overall supply was stable. Most growers' reserve willingness was not strong. Generally, fertilizer was purchased according to the number of production orders. "We have reserved a lot of fertilizer and matrix in the early stage, so the current production of bases has not been much affected." Jiang Haibin, general manager of Shandong Qiye Tree Biotechnology Co., Ltd. told reporters.

According to him, in order to enhance anti -risk capabilities, the base has always had the habit of reserving materials in advance. The market environment that has continued to fluctuate in the past two years has made him know the importance of adequate preparation. "We are mainly producing garden plants now. Due to the obstruction of logistics in the first half of the year, business in the south is poor, and the demand for local and surrounding customers is relatively stable." Jiang Haibin feels that many difficulties currently faced are not only an opportunity for producers to transform and upgrade. It is also a challenge. It is necessary to combine its own actual situation, find out market demand, adjust business direction and business model.
