This year's ginger price "big diving" dropped by 90%

The reporter learned today from the Lushan Agricultural Products Wholesale Market that there are a large number of gingers in Shandong. Contrary to last year's hot market, ginger prices have dropped by 90% this year. At present, the ginger market retail price is 3 yuan per kilogram, the purchase price is 0.6 yuan per kilogram, the price is the lowest in 10 years.

The reporter visited a farmer's market near Wuyingshan Road and found that the price of ginger is generally between 3 yuan and 3.6 yuan per kilogram. Last year, the price of ginger was still 8 yuan per kilogram. The trader Mr. Li introduced: “Ginger prices have been declining since the beginning of this year. Last week, ginger can be sold for 4 yuan per kilogram. Last year, ginger prices have skyrocketed. The ginger has low moisture content and storage, so The price is higher than that of ginger.” At present, the ginger harvest is in the province. Most of the ginger on the Jinan market comes from places like Anqiu and Laiwu. Since last year ginger was stir-fried, the price went up all the way, reaching a peak price of RMB 26 per kilogram. The farmers’ enthusiasm for planting ginger increased production by nearly 50% this year, and supply exceeding demand led to a drop in prices.
