The average price of mixed vegetables at Shanghai Jiangqiao Wholesale Market has increased by 12% compared to last week and 34.8 yuan/100 kg compared to the same period last year, due to the first cold wave hitting and affecting vegetable production. The price of peppers has also seen a significant increase this year, due to high temperatures and the effects of typhoons in producing areas. Meanwhile, the demand for spinach increases in colder weather, leading to a higher wholesale price. Additionally, the number of winter bamboo shoots in the market has increased this year, following a period of drought, and they are now on sale in batches, looking good and tasting better than the previous year.
