On the eve of the Spring Festival, reporters learned from wholesale markets such as Xinfadi and the Great Ocean Road that the overall price of fruit this year is higher than last year, and may be the “highest price” of fruit prices in the Spring Festival.

As the Spring Festival approached, most of the recent fruit prices rose to varying degrees, and the well-packaged fruit gift boxes rose significantly. Statistics from wholesale markets such as Xinfadi and the Great Ocean Road increased the number of pitayas from RMB85 to RMB115 per box, and the Guangdong Sugarcane prices rose from RMB75 (20 pounds) per box to RMB105 and imported “red”. From 320 yuan per box to 370 yuan, New Zealand "golden fruit" rose from 220 yuan per box to 320 yuan.

A merchant from the wholesale market of the Great Ocean Road said that the price of watermelon this year has continued to soar with the shortage of goods, which was affected by the disaster in Hainan. The current "black beauty" is about 6.2 yuan per kilogram, and the wholesale price of seedless melons is about 7.5 yuan per kilogram, and about 8.5 yuan per kilogram of "unicorn".

The freezing rain in the south has made the popular fruit oranges of the Spring Festival in previous years a “high value”. According to a person in charge of the China Fruit Circulation Association, after the New Year's Day, the price of sugar oranges rose sharply. The current wholesale price is about 9.1 yuan per kilogram, which is about 30% higher. It is expected that with the shortage of supply, prices will increase.

The overall price of fruit this year is higher than last year, which may be the "highest price" of fruit prices in the Spring Festival. The person in charge said.
