Every year in April, Beijing Vegetable supply chain will have two transitions:the vegetable origins will switch from the south to the north, and thevegetable cultivation will be more in the open air than in the greenhouse. The accelerationof this conversion process began to show up in vegetable prices. Recently as vegetablesfrom the northern region start to come to the market, they are becoming less dependenton the vegetable productions of the southern region. In terms of vegetable price changes, the pricesof non main stream vegetables has started togo down significantly, which will drive the overall vegetable prices into thedownstream channel.
