First in March, the media scrambled to report "durian domestic", according to reports, China's Hainan Sanya planted in more than 10,000 acres of durian trees in some of the trees have successfully hung fruit, and is expected to be listed in June.
Following the planting area is expected to further expand, because the impact of the durian survival rate of water and fertilizer management, pest and disease monitoring and other key challenges have been cracked, the survival rate of durian seedlings has been able to reach 98 percent.
The domestic durian will have two very big advantages over the imported durian:
One, because of the short transportation distance, preservation is relatively easy, the domestic durian can do "tree ripe", can further improve the quality of the durian.
Second, with the increase in the area of domestic durian planting, will increase the supply of domestic durian, durian prices are expected to usher in a wave of decline.
Distance from the domestic durian listing there are about 2 months time, imported durian "can not sit still", in recent times, imported durian ushered in a significant "price wave".
According to the Yunnan Kunming wholesale market operators said, the size of the durian, from 20 yuan, 30 yuan a, to 100 yuan, 200 yuan a have, Toman down to 58 yuan / kg, A Lun, dry Yao down to 38 yuan / kg, the most expensive Elvis Presley than the previous drop of 20 to 30 yuan.
At present, the average price of imported durians on the domestic market is around 20 yuan per kilogram, down about 23 percent compared with the same period last year.
The decline in durian prices is mainly due to so many reasons:
1. The supply of durian has increased significantly. Durian belongs to the typical tropical fruit, so durian is available almost all year round, but every year from March to October is a large number of durians on the market, starting in April, the number of durians entering the country is increasing.
2, the demand is less than expected. In recent years, because of the epidemic all walks of life are not particularly prosperous, everyone's income has been affected to varying degrees, as a high-priced fruit of the durian its price has been stable 20-30 yuan a catty, the wallet does not make a lot of people put off the idea of eating the durian, and turn to consume other fruits with relatively low prices.
3, fierce competition in the market. Since last year, the qualification of durian exports to our country is also increasing, Thailand and other durian producing areas feel the pressure to increase exports at the same time to reduce export prices, to seize the domestic market.
Domestic market, the current listing of fruits in addition to durian, there are cherries, watermelon, peaches, cantaloupe, melon and other fruits, consumers can choose to increase the number of fruits, the fruit market competition is becoming more intense.
10 yuan a catty and how far?
While the price of durian compared to the same period last year and in February and March when there was a significant decline, but the possibility of durian down to 10 yuan a catty is not very large.
Durian imported from abroad into the country, and then to the hands of consumers need to go through more intermediaries than domestic fruits, each level of intermediaries also need to profit, and at present the domestic durian is still almost entirely dependent on imports, importers can easily control the amount of durian imports from the origin, so as to grasp the price, to ensure their own profits.
The domestic durian will be listed in June is not false, but this will not be a big impact on the domestic durian price.
First of all, the current production of domestic durian is limited, relative to the huge domestic demand for durian, it can only be regarded as "one hair of the nine ox", temporarily does not have the strength of the impact of the domestic durian prices.
Secondly, the domestic durian with imported durian is not the same road, and even possible because of the domestic durian can do "tree ripe", because the quality of imported durian than the high, plus the domestic durian has just been listed, the scarcity of goods is expensive, its price may even be higher than the price of imported durian.
Even if the late domestic durian is not so scarce, because the durian planting conditions require high, in our country can not be a large area of large-scale planting, the same does not have a significant impact on the durian price conditions.
