It's hard to buy plums for 20 yuan a kilo

During this period, Wushan Crisp Plum and Yubei crooked plum were supposed to be listed in large quantities, but they were seldom seen in supermarkets, fruit stores or stalls. Even If plums were sold, the price was relatively expensive, about 20 yuan per kilogram. What is the reason for the "cut-off" of plum sales? On the morning of July 4, journalists came to several supermarkets and fruit stores in the main city. "Wushan Brittle Li is still selling well despite its high price of 25 yuan per kilogram." The head of a fruit store on the two roads told reporters that on July 1, she entered two big baskets of 100 kilograms and sold out in two days. Some old customers did not buy them and could only make an appointment. Reporters learned from the first Wushan Brittle Plum Industry Development Summit and the third Wushan Brittle Plum Harvesting Season in China and Chongqing in 2019 that there are 220,000 mu of Brittle Plum planted in Wushan, with an estimated output of 100,000 tons this year. Many large wholesalers and agricultural products sales companies now buy Wushan Brittle Li in Wushan every day, and some businesses buy 100,000 Jin in one. The head of an agricultural product sales company in Chongqing said that plums would be on the market in large quantities by mid-July.

Prices will drop after a large number of listings

Reporters learned from the village committee of Tongjing Town, Yubei District that with the arrival of warm and sunny weather, the sweetness of the crooked plum roasted by the sun will be higher and the taste will be better. As a result, the best harvesting period for the crooked plum began at the end of June, and it will take several days for the citizens to eat the crooked plum.

The head of fruit Department of a supermarket in Guanyinqiao said that plums sold well this year, but there were fewer plums in the hands of wholesalers and fewer plums in supermarkets. Because there is still a process for vendors to buy from fruit growers, then send them to fruit wholesale markets, and then transfer them to fruit stores.

The person in charge of Chongqing Caiyuanba Fruit Market said that wholesalers and agricultural product sales companies were rushing to buy plums because Wushan crisp plums and crooked-mouthed plums were well-known, tasted good and sold well, but the total output was limited. "At present, there are only a small number of Wushan crisp plums and crooked-mouthed plums on the market, so the price is more expensive, about 20 yuan per kilogram, and the price of large plums will be higher. But after a large number of listings, prices will fall. This person in charge said that the public should not rush, a large number of plums will be listed in a week or so.
