Weather conditions have been excellent this year and many fruit production areas enjoyed an abundant harvest. However, farmers are not happy. The prices of many kinds of fruit decreased by around 30% this year in comparison with the same period last year. The price of lychee even dropped by 50%. Not only did fruit prices drop, many fruit farmers also faced difficult sales conditions. People in the industry state that this situation is created by a lack of demand and fierce competition in the marketplace.
