Crab sales are less than 60% last year. Crabs bought in the crab-producing area may not be produced locally.

As the maturity of crabs began to increase, the National Day was gradually reached the "golden season" of crabs. The reporter learned from a number of crab wholesale markets that with the concentrated listing of crabs, the price of crabs has dropped by 3-4% compared with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and some varieties have even dropped by 60%. However, the public’s “early taste” is very rational this year, but the crab merchants are not expected. It is reported that a large number of crab sales customers said that although the price is not expensive, the crab sales are less than 60% last year. Industry insiders reminded: Many people like to go to the crab production areas such as Gaochun and Yangcheng Lake to taste crabs and buy crabs, but the crabs that may be tasted are not produced locally.

Rapid decline in value

The price of eleven crabs fell by 3-4% compared with the previous festival.

“Crabs are cheap to sell.” In Nanjing’s major farmers’ markets, many water-selling stall owners will put the cards that mark the price of crabs in a prominent position, and through continuous sipping, people who want to visit the market can Buy a few early adopters.

During the eleventh period, the crab entered the mature market. With the influx of crabs around Nanjing, the value of crabs has changed significantly from the Mid-Autumn Festival. Feng’s stall owner of Nanjing’s farmer’s market told reporters that the early taste of fresh crabs saved a lot of money, and some varieties could have tasted one. The same price, good quality, and one more taste. According to reports, at the Mid-Autumn Festival, 3 two male crabs, 500 grams of the highest to sell 88 yuan, during the National Day, this price has dropped to around 32 yuan, which means that the price has long been squatting, fell 60%. The price of 2 and 2 female crabs also dropped from the original 76 yuan to the current 42-43 yuan, a drop of 40%.

However, Mr. Wang Jian, who has many years of experience in crab business in Xiaozhuang market, told reporters that the price of most crabs is indeed 3-4% lower than that before the holiday, but the large-scale crabs are less, the crab farmers are reluctant to sell, and the price is still very strong. . For example, the current price of 3 female crabs is 150 yuan / 500 grams, while the Mid-Autumn Festival, the price is about 160 yuan, only 10 yuan in half a month. Wang Jianjian said that due to the influence of weather factors, the maturity of crabs this year is later than last year. After entering the 11th, as the weather turns cold, the maturity of crabs will increase significantly. From the current price point of view, the price of most crabs is the same as last year, but the price of crabs is quite different. The reason for the large number of crabs is 10%-20% more expensive than last year, and the larger the price, the price is higher than the same period last year. The higher.

Spending money

Poor taste, many people postpone early adopters

"Compared with last year's eleventh, the enthusiasm of citizens to buy crabs this year is not too high. People have become very rational in adopting crabs." Wang Jianjian looked at the list of old customers who had accumulated many years of money in his mobile phone. "These customers would not buy them before." Less crabs are used by family members or relatives, and less than one-third of people contact me this year.” A large-scale crab wholesaler told reporters that during the 11th holiday last year, it was easy to sell more than 5,000 kilograms of crabs. This year's single-day wholesale volume is less than half.

The price of the crab has dropped, and the price is basically the same as last year. Why is there no more crab consumption than last year? Wang Zijian said that first of all, the reduction in the consumption of large crabs has affected the consumption of eleven crabs. Secondly, This year's high temperature and heavy rain, especially the first batch of early adopters, eager to taste early and late in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the problem of poor taste still plagued the sales of crabs during the 11th period, many people have postponed the time to taste crabs, expectation Waiting for the weather to cool down before starting, consumption delays also affect the consumption of crabs during the holiday season. In addition, Gaochunyi Crab told reporters that this year's partial production of crabs has reduced the production of local quality crabs. Due to concerns about the taste, many people have chosen to postpone the crabs.

A large wholesale market merchant expects that during the past holiday season, the daily consumption of crabs in the Nanjing market will be 80,000 kilograms. It is expected that there will be a 20% reduction this year, and the total consumption should be more than 50,000 kilograms. However, the person expects that crab consumption may climb after the holiday as most people travel and visit relatives.

Expert reminder

Crabs bought in the crab-producing area may not be produced locally.

In order to taste crabs, many citizens will choose large and fleshy crabs in the crab producing areas of Yangcheng Lake and Nanjing Gaochun. The reporter noted that compared to the urban farmers market, the crabs in the place of production may not be cheap. For example, in the Nanjing City Farmers Market, the price of 3 female crabs is about 150 yuan, and the price of sorghum crabs is also comparable. The price of 2 female crabs is 38 yuan, and the price of urban areas is 40 yuan. On the comprehensive "taste of early" cost, the crabs tasted at the door of the house, there seems to be not much money.

Many people think that the crabs tasted in the production area must be the freshest and authentic. Industry insiders reminded that crabs in the crab-producing areas are often from many regions, such as Nanjing's sorghum, and there are also crabs from Anhui in the market, and the proportion is not low. If you are in some street shops, especially those close to the scenic spot, it is very likely that the crabs you bought are not local. The citizens often spend a lot of money and can't enjoy the good crab quality. The person suggested that it is best to go to the large-scale and well-respected farmers in the production area to buy directly, or go to a large-scale specialty store nearby, so that the quality can be guaranteed.
