Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that fresh fruit prices rose 39.1% in July compared with the same period last year, but fell by 6.2% annually, affecting the CPI annually by about 0.14 percentage points.
Lu Fangxue, president of China Fruit Circulation Association, said that since July, with the large number of seasonal fruits on the market, the prices of all kinds of fruits on the market began to decline.
The price monitoring of China Fruit Circulation Association showed that the wholesale price of Red Fuji reached the highest level of 14.71 yuan per kilogram on July 2, and then gradually declined. On August 6, the price of Red Fuji was 13.59 yuan, down 7.6%. After entering August, with the early-ripening apples coming on the market one after another, the price decline will be greater throughout the country on June 25. The wholesale price of Huangguan pear (above 250g per kg) reached the highest point of 15.19 yuan per kilogram, then gradually fell. On August 6, the monitoring price was 6.88 yuan, down 54.7%. With the large number of fresh pears listed in the later period, the purchase price and wholesale price in the future market are expected to return to a reasonable level.
Lu Fang School said that according to the survey, most apple and pear producing areas have been producing normally this year. At present, apples and pears in Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Gansu, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Liaoning, Hebei grow well, and the harvest is in sight. "It is expected that the total output of apples and pears will reach or exceed the historic maximum output in 2019. In addition, the imported fruits will continue to enter the Chinese market, and the domestic market will be fully supplied to meet the market demand. The price of fruits will return to a reasonable level."
Zhao Junye, a researcher at the Agricultural Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that due to adverse weather, the fruit market experienced a period of tight supply in the first half of the year, with prices rising significantly in May and June. Among them, apples and pears were affected by frost damage during the flowering period last spring, and their prices increased greatly. But since July, it has stopped rising and fallen, and prices have begun to fall.
"The current fruit supply is generally abundant, which will drive fruit prices down further." Zhao Junye emphasized that homogeneous ordinary and low-end fruits may be difficult to sell at a low price during the period of centralized listing, while high-quality and characteristic fruits that meet the needs of consumer upgrading can still sell at a higher price.
