Fruit sales have not declined after the holiday

“Now one day's sales of fruits is one-tenth of the holiday and basic sales are not available.” Many dealers in the Dikou Road fruit wholesale market stated that the current sales of fruits are far less popular than before the holiday. It is understood that fruit sales in the provincial capital dropped by about 80% compared with that before the holiday, but the price did not drop, and some fruit prices also rose slightly.

On the 16th, in the fruit wholesale market shed of Dikou Road, nearly half of the fruit stalls were covered with canvas, and many door-to-door houses were covered with rolling shutters. On the 50-meter-long treaty, a monopoly on Apple’s trails, only three or four vendors sold out. Stalls. Several stall owners gathered together to play cards, and there were few customer inquiry before fruit stalls.

“The day before the holiday, sales can reach more than ten million yuan, and now it will cost thousands of dollars a day. The best is more than ten thousand yuan,” said a high-end fruit wholesaler. Many traders said that sales of fruits are now one-tenth of the day before the holiday. Some traders will disassemble and retail the pre-holiday fruit gift boxes. A person in charge of the fruit market said that the current market sales are about one million yuan a day, accounting for only about 20% of pre-holiday sales.

Although sales fell sharply, fruit prices did not change much before the holiday, and some fruit prices also rose slightly. At present, Apple's wholesale price is about 2 yuan/kg to 3.5 yuan/kg, strawberry 12 yuan/kg to 17 yuan/kg, and orange 2.5 yuan/kg to 3.5 yuan/kg. In addition, sugar orange rose to 5 yuan / kg, watermelon from the pre-holiday 3 yuan / kg rose to 3.5 yuan / kg.

Mr. Dong, the person in charge of Jinan Deqiang Fruit Co., Ltd., said that the major sales decrease was mainly due to the fact that the fruits of the household's family reserves have not yet been consumed and there is no demand for purchases. Secondly, fruit is not a necessity. There are a lot of gifts for pre-holiday purchases, so post-holiday sales have decreased substantially.

In addition, Mr. Dong analyzed that due to the fact that popular fruits such as apples, pears and oranges are easy to store, vendors are not in a hurry to sell them, and such fruits are more popular among the general public, so prices will rise.

A person in charge of the Dikou Road Fruit Wholesale Market stated that currently only half of the vendors in the fruit market are in the balance, and it is estimated that they will all be available after the first lunar month and sales will increase significantly. In addition, fruits such as mango, pineapple and litchi will be listed in large quantities in the near future, and the new hot selling of fruit varieties may bring about a drop in fruit prices.
