Wholesale price is higher than in previous years

Shanghai: First Winter Strawberries hit the market

Recently, the first harvest of Shanghai Winter Strawberries went on the market. This year's strawberry prices are somewhat higher. The purchase price per jin is as high as 50 yuan, and the wholesale price at the market is more than 60 yuan. In November right through to  March, after the local strawberry season ends, the strawberries from other locations with be on the market. At present, local strawberries have not been listed in the supermarkets, but are mainly picked and sold in the field.

China is the world's largest strawberry producing country. In 2017, the country's strawberry planting area was more than 2.3 million mu, and the output was more than 4 million tons. The total output value reached more than 60 billion yuan. Since the profit is higher than for other fruits, the planting surface and output of strawberries in Shanghai seems to get higher and higher each year.
