Fresh hickory delays the listing of production and reduces the price will rise

In the White Dew Years (September 8th of this year), fresh pecans were already on the market and could be affected by the weather this year. The reporter saw in the Yiwu Agricultural Trade Center yesterday that only one or two roasted pecans were sold in roasted pecans. Many shopkeepers said that fresh pecans would be delayed for a few days.

Delayed listing of production decreases

In a store that reads "The Peanut Direct Store at Lin'an," the reporter saw the newly listed hickory. The price was 64 yuan/kg. The owner of the store, Miss He told reporters that these salt and pepper pecans were fried in their own store. She was a Lin'an person. Since she had hickory trees in her home, she picked up some good ones and she first went public. There are not many people who have bought recently. They often buy other roasted seeds and nuts.

According to her introduction, every year when the pecans are ripe, nearby farmers will set a good day for unified harvesting. In the first few days of this year, we would have to open up and beat fruit, but the fruits were too small and too thin. So we decided to postpone a few days.

“In addition to small heads, the output is not as good as it used to be in previous years. It is very difficult to see this year’s hickory nuts that are full of fruit. This is mainly due to the weather. When spring has just sprouted, it is cold and rainy. Compared with last year, the walnut trees are estimated to have reduced production by about 30%. The situation of other people in the village is similar, said Miss Ho.

The price rises into a foregone conclusion

Ding Lizhong, Secretary-General of the Linan Hickory Industry Association, said that although it is impossible to accurately count statistics, the overall reduction in production is estimated to be 30% to 40% due to the impact of the cold spell. Thousand Island Lake, another source of hickory in the province, is also facing a 20% to 30% reduction in production.

Since the reduction of hickory production has become a fact, market participants are generally expected to increase their prices. “Last year we received the ex-factory price of 56 yuan per kilogram from the local roasted speculators. Although it has not been opened yet this year, the bosses there have already told us that the output will be reduced, and the price may rise up to some extent. , but also not the end." Xinlong Chaohuo Chaohuo store owner said.

The reporter saw on Taobao that the price of pecans just listed this year was around RMB 70/kg. Seller Lan Lan told reporters that the current price is about the same as last year, but with the arrival of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, people who purchase pecans will increase, and they will adjust the price according to the availability. The price before and after the Spring Festival is estimated to be more than RMB 80/kg, which is slightly higher than in previous years.

Nut prices rise

During the interview, the reporter also learned that, in addition to hickory, the prices of other nuts also rose somewhat compared with last year. Hazelnuts, almonds, cashew nuts and so on are priced at 2 to 3 yuan per kilo of retail price, especially the American pecan. Even more recently, prices have risen every day. Compared with the previous period, the price of goods has increased by about 10%.

“In previous years, it was only years ago that prices began to rise. This year’s early rises in prices. On the one hand, prices have risen, and prices for labor, packaging, and transportation have risen; on the other hand, like cashews, macadamia, and the United States. Hickory and the like, the raw materials are imported, said that the tariff was raised, so the price will be higher.” Miss He told reporters.
