The article provides an overview of the current situation and future expectations regarding vegetable prices in Beijing. It explains that prices have slightly fluctuated but overall remained stable in the past two weeks, with a slight decrease from the previous week and a significant increase from the previous year. The article attributes these fluctuations to weather conditions and demand levels.
The article also discusses the impact of weather conditions on the production of winter vegetables in southern regions like Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Hainan, noting that a tight supply before the Spring Festival was due to drought, cold waves, and typhoons. However, the situation is expected to improve as the supply from Yunnan and the harvest of small rapeseed and lettuce in northern greenhouses approaches. Additionally, the article highlights the stabilization of pork and egg prices, which are linked to the procurement levels of catering companies, and suggests that further decline in vegetable prices is possible as the temperature rises and more vegetables become available in the southern regions before the Spring Festival.
