According to the Daily Economic News, the hot summer is the season for eating watermelons to cool down. But recently many people have found that the price of watermelons has increased.

According to Upstream News, recently some melon farmers in Zhongwei City, the main production area of ​​selenium sand melon in Ningxia, raised prices and broke contracts, which attracted attention. One melon farmer even raised the price to the melon dealers, "increasing the price by 5 cents per catty."

On August 12, Chongqing resident Mr. Chen told reporters about the watermelon prices he saw in the supermarket. "Watermelons are becoming unaffordable now. Ningxia selenium sand melons are around 2.5 yuan per pound, and they were only 1.5 yuan last month. The price has increased by 1 yuan per pound."

Watermelon prices rise

Consumers complain: Can’t afford it

According to Wenzhou Daily, on August 14, when the reporter visited supermarkets such as Walmart and Century Lianhua in the city, as well as fruit stores such as Mantanghong, Chengxin Fruit Forest, and Guoranduo, he heard many citizens who were about to buy watermelons complain, "Watermelons are so expensive recently, we can't afford them."

The reporter saw in many fruit stores that the watermelons on the market are mainly from Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Hainan and other places. Among them, Ningxia selenium sand watermelon is relatively cheap, with a retail price of 1.98 yuan to 2.98 yuan per catty. The most expensive are the Little Bee Kirin Watermelon and the Red Gold Watermelon, both at 6.98 yuan per catty.

Mr. Wu spent a long time looking at the watermelon section of Happy Shopping Supermarket and chose a slice of Kirin melon at 5.78 yuan per catty. He spent 36.09 yuan to buy half a slice. "Although the supermarket's selenium sand melon is only 2.58 yuan per catty, I still think Kirin melon tastes better."
