"The prices have gone up a lot." "Yes, they have all gone up." This has become a common conversation heard in the vegetable market recently.

Recently, the prices of fruits and vegetables have risen significantly in Henan and even across the country. Confused consumers have posted messages online, and media in many places have reported on the rising vegetable prices.

According to the management of the farmers' market and many operators, the rise in vegetable prices is mainly related to two factors: one is the high temperature or heavy rain in some production areas; the other is that seasonal changes lead to changes in the production areas of vegetables and fruits, resulting in supply gaps.

According to data released by the Henan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, vegetable prices have continued to fall since early June this year, reaching the lowest point of the month in late June and then starting to rise. After entering July, they began to rise "at a rapid pace", and the upward trend continued until August. On August 9, the average price of 11 kinds of vegetables rose by 11.48% compared with August 2.

Henan Wanbang International Agricultural Products Logistics City is the largest agricultural product wholesale trading market in the central region, and the sharp rise in vegetable prices is particularly evident here. According to Ning Yabing, marketing manager of Henan Wanbang International Agricultural Products Logistics City, the wholesale price of Guangdong Chinese cabbage this week remained at around 10 yuan/jin, up nearly 67% from the wholesale price of around 6 yuan/jin last week, and the wholesale price of green cabbage also rose from 0.7 yuan/jin to 0.8 yuan/jin last week to 1.1 yuan/jin to 1.2 yuan/jin this week, an increase of about 50%.
