The price of imported fruits remains high

When visiting friends and relatives as gifts, guests put some on their arrival, and fruit has become an important part of Spring Festival consumption. During the Spring Festival, the price of fruits in the urban areas has risen, and the price of imported fruits has remained high.

Yesterday, at the city's agricultural wholesale market, a citizen pointed to a box of imported red cherries and said that the relatives bought him the cherries. He also planned to buy a box to give back. He asked about the price, and the boss said that he wanted 360 yuan a box. The boss told reporters: "The main sales period of imported cherries is in the Spring Festival. These days, they are sold very well. Many people buy them as gifts to send relatives." Reporters saw red cherries imported from the United States from the wholesale fruit market price report. Before the Spring Festival, 120 yuan per kilogram has now risen to 140 yuan; Thailand imported mangosteen also rose from 16 yuan per kilogram before the holiday to 19 yuan. However, there are also price drops, such as RMB 14 per kilogram before the Dragon Fruit Festival imported from Vietnam, which has now dropped to RMB 10 per kilogram. There is also a large volume of sugar oranges, which also dropped from 25 yuan per basket before the holiday to 20 yuan.

"Our price is definitely cheaper than the supermarket retail sale." A market operator said that during the Spring Festival they are so busy that they don't have enough food to eat. Besides the merchants who come to wholesale, there are still a lot of boxes. One box was bought back for use during visits to friends and relatives during the Spring Festival.
