Why are the prices of vegetables in the market high?

The price of vegetables in the vegetable market is not low. Why do farmers say that growing vegetables does not make money? There are four reasons.

City people go to the vegetable market to buy food, always complaining that the price of vegetables has gone up again today. Sometimes they even think that the prices of some vegetables are ridiculously high, which is more expensive than selling pork, which makes people feel incredible. City people who don't know the truth will think it's good to be a farmer, and they can make a lot of money by planting some food casually, but is this really the case? In fact, behind the high vegetable prices, farmers' friends have a hard time saying that they don't make money. So, what caused the increase in vegetable prices?

1, vegetable vendors make money

Many farmers specialize in growing vegetables. For them, there is no time and energy to buy food. Generally, vegetable dealers come to buy food, and the purchase price of vegetable dealers is generally low. Vegetable sellers sell vegetables in the vegetable market, and the price of vegetables will be much higher. After all, vegetable vendors always make money. So the price of these vegetables in the hands of farmers is not high.

2, the impact of natural disasters

The weather is unpredictable, so when natural disasters come, they can't be stopped. Many farmers' friends grow vegetables because of natural disasters, which will lead to a sharp drop in output and a decrease in the number of vegetables, so the price of vegetables will naturally rise, so whenever there is a natural disaster, the price of vegetables will rise. But for farmers' friends, because of natural disasters, the losses are heavy.

3. The transportation cost is very high

Now the logistics and transportation industry is very developed. Vegetables from the south can be sold to the north, and vegetables from the north can also be sold to the south. The greater the regional span, the higher the transportation cost and the higher the corresponding vegetable price. In addition, some farmers didn't come to buy food, so they had to rent a car to sell it. Even if the selling price is more expensive, the transportation cost may be excluded, and there is not much money left.

4. The market demand is large.

When the market demand of a certain vegetable is relatively large, the price of this vegetable will be relatively high, and even with the decrease of supply, the price will continue to rise. Many farmers like to follow the trend. If the price of this vegetable sells well, many people will grow it next year.

Generally speaking, there are many reasons for the high price of vegetables, and farmers don't want to take the blame. Farmers are advised not to blindly grow a certain vegetable. When the supply greatly exceeds the market demand, the price of this vegetable will be very low, or even impossible to sell, so don't follow suit.
