Yulin litchi is ripe again, the price is high and easy to sell!

With the arrival of the summer solstice, Yulin local litchi began to enter the peak season of sales.
This year's national litchi market is characterized by low yield and high price. Fortunately, the Yulin production area is relatively adjacent to Qinzhou, Guangdong, Maoming, two major litchi production areas, the smallest reduction in yield! Therefore, Linong in our city earns a lot. From June 25 to 27, the reporter ran to the market, entered the orchard, interviewed fruit experts, felt the joy of the harvest of litchi farmers, but also picked up the new changes and trends of the litchi industry in Yulin.
About 20 days after the summer solstice, which is "made of litchi" in Yulin. According to past year's estimates, with the listing of local big litchi, the price of local litchi will fall by a higher margin. However, on June 27, the reporter ran around the fruit market in Yulin City and found that litchi was sold everywhere, but the price was not low. Junyuehong (Heli), the cheapest fruit vendor in the past year, has already put up a sign of 10 yuan, 2.5 kg or even 5 yuan, 2.5 kg. However, this year, the general market price of this kind of litchi is about 18 yuan per kilogram, and the price of this kind of litchi is 12 yuan per kilogram. Other varieties, on the summer solstice of June 21, sold 140 yuan/kg of Guiwei litchi, and since then kept at 50 yuan/kg to 70 yuan/kg (the price of different kinds of loose fruits is 30 yuan/kg); chicken-billed litchi is 30 yuan/kg, good fruit is 60 yuan/kg; white sugar poppy is 20 yuan/kg. The reporter saw the Guiwei of a fruit store bargaining with the owner's wife. She insisted on not dropping a cent. She said, "Now Guiwei is hard to get. We also paid a high price to get it. In a few days, Guiwei will be off the market. You can't eat it at any cost." The high terminal price of litchi is determined by the supply side. Reporters came to Longan Village, Beiliu Town, Beiliu City, where 533 hectares of litchi were planted. It is a famous professional litchi village in the city. Reporters follow a cement Village Road into the core area of litchi, only to see many farmers building houses on the roadside are temporarily starting to buy litchi at home, which is busy sorting and packaging. However, most of the litchis were transported by small trucks, but few by large trucks. Su Xingsong, chairman of Beilong Fruit Planting Cooperative, Longan Village, said: "This year is a litchi year. The output is already low. In addition, the e-commerce companies in Maoming, Guangdong have rushed to Beilou to grab goods, which makes the supply more tense. So now, litchi intermediaries are generally cautious about receiving large orders from customers, fearing that they will not be able to receive the goods."
"Things are precious because they are scarce. Litchi is such a scarce commodity this year! Longan Village is now almost sold out of Guiwei, the purchase price has been more than 50 yuan per kilogram. The June red litchi in Longan Village can be supplied on a large scale, and the fruit is sweet, and it is also a tight commodity. The highest purchase price is about 12 yuan per kilogram, which now falls back to 10 yuan. Even if the supply increases a little later, I don't think the purchase price will be less than 8 yuan!" Su Xingsong is confident of the high price of Litchi in the future. Journalists surveyed and learned that if you want to buy cheaper litchi, you need to go along Beibao Road to Longsheng, Xinfeng, Dapo Wai and other Beiliuzhong Towns, which are also the traditional litchi planting towns in the city. Litchi in these places is mainly red and black leaves in June. When the local litchi was just listed this year, the purchase price reached about 10 yuan per kilogram. Later, with the increase of supply, the price now falls back to the range of 5 yuan to 6 yuan per kilogram. Li Lin, a branch of Dapo Nei Village, Dapo Wai Town, Beiliu City, said: "In recent years, the quality of Litchi in the central part of Beiliu has declined due to the neglect of the management of litchi farmers. However, this year's national litchi production is really too small, so I estimate that the purchase price here will not be less than 5 yuan/kg."
2018 is the big year of litchi. The price of litchi is very low. Litchi rots on the head of Litchi in many places in Yulin, but no one picks it. This year's litchi is a small year, the price is high and the supply is in short supply. For the fruitful fruit growers on hand, this is a proud litchi season. On June 25, Chen Houbin, the chief scientist of the national litchi longan industry technology system, who came to Yulin for research, believed that due to the extreme abnormal weather in 2018 and 2019, litchi production in the whole country had been reduced to varying degrees. "Yulin Litchi, as a traditional large-scale litchi production area of one million mu, has the smallest reduction in Litchi production." Chen Houbin sighed with envy. The price of Yulin litchi has reached an all-time high under the condition of relatively small fluctuation in production, which makes the farmers get better profits.
In the investigation of journalists, it was found that the orchards which could make a lot of money in litchi's early years still insisted on quality reform and strengthened management. Su Xingsong in Longan Village, Beiliu Town, sold 1,200 yuan for the fruit harvested by only one iced sugar litchi. Eight hundred Xianjin Fengs from Zhou Yesheng, Pingpo Village, Longsheng Town, Beiliu City, were ordered out at 140 yuan/kg, with a total income of 2 million yuan. In addition, the reporter learned that Maoming, Guangdong Province, is a place where litchi e-commerce gathers. In the case of the local litchi production reduction, they came to Beiliu early to grab fruit, and underwrite high-quality varieties of litchi orchards with high deposits. Such as Shiwo Town's Concubine Laughter, Beiliu Town's Chicken-billed Litchi, Dapo Town's Guiwei and other high-quality litchi, many of the supply is controlled by them. Gu Biao, president of Yulin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that for a long time, the main cultivars of Yulin litchi were Juneyuehong and black leaves, while the high-quality cultivars such as Jizui litchi, Guiwei and Xianjinfeng had only a small distribution. In New Year's season, it happens that no one picks the branches of Heli rot, but the enthusiasm of fruit growers for replanting is still not high.
