How do the recent prices of vegetables, eggs and meat go? The reporter went deep into the market investigation.

       CCTV News:Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are coming soon. Vegetables, eggs and meat, which have been generally rising in price for some time and are widely concerned, will usher in a peak of consumption. What kind of trend will the prices of these three categories of products closely related to people’s lives show in the near future? Our reporter went deep into the market and conducted an investigation. Let’s look at vegetables first.

       In August, the super typhoon "Likima" had a certain impact on vegetable production in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. So whether the supply of vegetables can keep up now, the reporter came to the largest vegetable wholesale market in China — — Shandong Shouguang vegetable wholesale market. The interview found that the current price of vegetables is at a normal level.

       The reporter learned that when the typhoon affected Shandong, it was in the off-season when summer and autumn vegetables were alternately produced. In addition, many vegetable growing areas summarized the relevant experience of resisting typhoon "Wambia" last year and took precautions in advance, so the typhoon in August this year had limited impact on vegetable prices.

       Not only Shouguang, but also the reporter learned from other domestic markets that the overall trend of vegetable prices has been stable recently. In Beijing Xinfadi Market, the reporter saw that the prices of common vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants and tomatoes, as well as some leafy vegetables, were the same as usual, even slightly lower.

       According to the monitoring and analysis of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the planting area of open-field vegetables in the northern producing areas of China is generally stable this year, and the planting area of greenhouse vegetables has increased. Therefore, during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day this year, the supply situation of vegetables is better than last year, and the overall price of vegetables will gradually fall.

       As an important item in the food basket, the price of eggs has also attracted people’s attention. Since the summer, the price of eggs has continued to rise. What about the price of eggs in the near future?

       According to the analysis of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the supply of eggs in the market is stable and tight at present, mainly because the laying rate of laying hens has decreased after the summer, that is, laying hens have entered a "resting period". When the reporter interviewed in Beijing Xinfadi Market, many merchants said that the local supply was tight.

       According to the analysis of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the continuous increase in broiler prices has accelerated the elimination of laying hens, and the stock of laying hens has declined. At the same time, due to the expected increase in eggs, dealers at all levels and some food processing plants have advanced their stocking time nodes, and the superposition of supply and demand factors has led to a phased increase in egg prices. However, as the weather turns cold, the "resting period" of laying hens ends, and the chicks who fill the column in spring also enter the peak period of laying eggs one after another, and the production capacity of laying hens will return to normal level. After the National Day, the tight supply of eggs is expected to ease obviously, and the price of eggs will decline in stages.
