autumn vegetables are about to be available in large quantities, with more choices

in baishazhou market, there is an ample supply of vegetables

experts from the wuhan academy of agricultural sciences said that the rise in vegetable prices during the high temperatures in summer is part of the seasonal price fluctuations in the vegetable market each year. the main reason is that the high temperatures in summer cause vegetable growth retardation, plant damage, and pests and diseases. this summer, the high temperatures lasted longer and were higher, and floods were superimposed in some areas, which had a more obvious impact on vegetables, causing a rapid increase in vegetable prices in the early stages.

in order to ensure the supply of vegetables in the market, wuhan has come up with many ways. qiu pei, deputy director of the market department of wuhan municipal bureau of agriculture and rural affairs, introduced that wuhan has allocated special funds this year to upgrade the construction of 10,000 mu of vegetable greenhouse facilities. at the same time, technical guidance has been strengthened to help all districts prepare for high temperature, rainfall and other weather precautions, and city and district technical experts have been organized to go deep into the fields to guide vegetable production, increase the production of seasonal and fast-growing lettuce according to market demand, and ensure the market supply of vegetables.

yang wei, manager of wuhan caidian green garden agricultural development co., ltd., said that as a production and supply base for wuhan's "vegetable basket" products, the company's vegetable base covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 mu, of which the annual output of gourd, bamboo leaf vegetable and eggplant can reach 800 tons, and the annual output of amaranth can reach 400 tons. recently, amaranth, bamboo leaf vegetable, eggplant and other vegetables have entered or are about to enter the peak of harvest, and will be supplied to the wuhan market in large quantities.

industry insiders said that judging from the overall trend, with the arrival of autumn and the gradual cooler temperatures, vegetables across the country will enter the peak harvest season and vegetable prices will enter a "downward channel" for some time to come.
