The wholesale price of agricultural products in Beijing declined slightly

The “State Council’s Notice on Stabilizing the General Level of Consumer Price to Ensure the Basic Lives of the Masses” (“National Article 16”) was effective in regulating the prices of agricultural products. Yesterday's data from the Beijing Grains, Oils, and Vegetables Wholesale Market showed that agricultural products have seen price cuts of different magnitudes, but the price cuts at retail terminals such as supermarkets are still not obvious. Zhang Yuan, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, said in an interview with reporters that the domestic agricultural production area has been expanded, especially for vegetables, and the supply is fully guaranteed, but Beijing’s dependence on foreign markets is relatively high. “The next step in Beijing is to increase self-sufficiency first. Improve the control of resources, such as investing in the construction of Beijing's production base to control vegetable resources and regulate market supply."

The reporter learned yesterday that, in the grain and oil wholesale market of this Municipality, the wholesale price of small packaging oil such as “Arowana” and “Fulinmen” was reduced by as much as 5-10 yuan per box. Yuquan Road grain and oil wholesale market monitoring data show that since November 11th, soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil prices continued to fall in three major oil, including scattered soybean oil (a) fell 6.73%; scattered palm oil (8 degrees) A ​​decrease of 4.08%; scattered rapeseed oil (North) decreased by 6.45%.

"Huifu" soybean oil fell by 9 yuan per box and "Firebird" soybean oil by 10 yuan per box.

In terms of vegetables, according to the Xinhua News Agency's national agricultural and sideline products and agricultural materials price system monitoring, compared with the previous day, the price of vegetables was mainly reduced yesterday. Of the 21 species of vegetables monitored, prices fell, including celery and green beans. The price dropped by 1.7% and 1.6% respectively. The prices of Chinese cabbage, spinach, rape, lettuce, cucumber, eggplant, potato, onion, garlic and ginger fell by 0.1%-1.5%.

The reporter learned from the new hair market that the overall price of vegetables in November showed a downward trend, and the reduction in cauliflower even reached 50%. On November 10, the weighted average price of vegetables was 1.56 yuan/kg, and yesterday's weighted average price was 1.29 yuan/kg, a decrease of 17.3%.

Zhang Yuxi, chairman of Xinfadi Agricultural Products Co., Ltd., said that at present, the trade volume of vegetables is maintained at around 13 million kilograms per day. After the publication of the “State 16”, the use of vans to transport fresh produce from the new area to the urban area will eliminate many Fines at the time of delivery reduced the cost of circulation. “We are about to enter the 'two quarters'. During this period, a large part of the vegetable supply in Beijing is Hainanese cuisine, two-wide food, and Yunnan cuisine. In terms of overall quantity, the price should be reduced.” .

Although the wholesale price began to loosen, the prices of agricultural products such as supermarket oil, rice, and noodles have not yet significantly changed.

Reporters yesterday saw in supermarkets such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour and Wumart that the prices of oil, rice, and noodles did not change significantly from the previous few days. Carrefour said that the price of products has been relatively stable in the recent period. Although the prices of many products fluctuate from time to time, these fluctuations are generally directed at the wholesale market. The large supermarkets can better stabilize product prices by virtue of a sound logistics system.

Industry analysts believe that in fact, many supermarkets have made an overall price increase for oil, rice and other products last month, so prices will not change much in at least a month or two. However, the price of these products will not be adjusted in the next year. judgment. Related news Beijing has implemented green channels for agricultural products New Deal Commercial News (Reporter Zhang Han) The Beijing Traffic Committee said yesterday that it had implemented the green channel policy for fresh agricultural products ahead of schedule on November 27th, and advanced the roads above 55 county level highways. Beijing Road junction has a green channel guide sign.

Also on the same day yesterday, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Communications issued the “Urgent Notice on Further Improving the Green Passage Policy for the Transportation of Fresh Agricultural Products” (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”). From December 1st, all toll roads (including Independently-charged bridges and tunnels are included in the green channel network of live agricultural products transport. Vehicles that are legally loaded and transported by fresh vehicles are free of vehicle tolls, and potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh corn, and fresh flowers are included in the catalogue of green channel varieties.

In fact, the above policy has been proposed by the State Council before 16 measures to regulate prices. The "Notice" details the "reliable loading of entire vehicle" certification standards, and mixes fresh agricultural products within the scope of "City Catalogue of Fresh Agricultural Products" with other agricultural products outside the scope, and other mixed agricultural products do not exceed the vehicle's authorized loading quality. Or vehicles with 20% of the volume of the compartments will be executed in accordance with vehicles loaded with fresh agricultural products.

In fact, as far back as 2006, the Ministry of Communications proposed the “Five Verticals and Two Horizontals” policy on green channels for fresh produce. The "Notice on Further Promoting Market Supply and Price Stability for Vegetable Production" issued by the State Council in September this year proposes that vehicles throughout the country that legally load and transport fresh produce should be exempted from vehicle tolls nationwide.

“Although free policies have long existed, in the inter-regional transportation, all kinds of expenses are still inevitable.” Li Guoxiang, a researcher at the Institute of Rural Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the relevant policies introduced in this area are not fully understood and implemented. The segmentation phenomenon is serious. Usually only local fresh agricultural products transport vehicles enjoy free of charge. Many regions do not implement free policies for transit vehicles. “The definition of mixed packaging is one of the main reasons for disguised fee- setting in all localities. The Circular clarifies the criteria for identification and can guarantee the operability of the free policy.”

Li Guoxiang stated that in the winter, vegetables in northern cities basically depend on Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan. In long-distance transportation, tolls account for 1/3-1/2 of the cost of vegetables. If the “notice” is effectively implemented, the prices of northern vegetables are expected to grow. It has dropped significantly. "In Beijing, for example, the average price of vegetables can be reduced by about 1 yuan."

"As with many previously difficult policies to implement, although the "Notice" has stated the regulatory measures, it lacks the reporting details and hopes that the relevant departments will establish a feasible supervision mechanism," said Li Guoxiang.
