Vegetable price surge due to production shortage
Even within the vegetable greenhouses, the minimum temperature during the night was as low as minus 6 degrees, which makes the vegetables difficult to grow. In general, these bad weather condition resulted in low vegetable yields and were followed by the high retail prices.
However, as it is the normal marketing rule that vegetables are in short supply before the Spring Festival, many vegetable bases managed to seize the recent fine weather, and replace the frozen vegetables in the greenhouses while planting new ones. As a result, it is expected that this phenomenon will continue for a month or so, by when the new grown vegetables will gradually come to the market, and their prices will return to normal.
