　　According to CCTV’s financial report, the price of cherries has dropped significantly in Beijing fruit market recently with a large number of imported cherries on the market. The manager of Beijing International Trading Co., Ltd. said: "The first ticket sent by air in October sold for more than 200 yuan a catty.

　　On January 8, the reporter learned from Ningbo Fruit Wholesale Market that at present, the volume of cherries in Ningbo market is about half by air and half by sea. The price reduction of air cherries is not obvious, and the price of air cherries is generally 40% to 50% lower than that of air cargo. According to the variety and quality, the "black car" by sea ranges from 40 yuan to 60 yuan, and the "yellow car" ranges from 55 yuan to 80 yuan.

　　On the "Sam Member Store" APP, the price of cherries is relatively favorable, but all of them are displayed as "Replenishing" and the purchase is restricted. A JJ-class 907-gram Chilean cherry shows that 117,000 people bought it back.

　　Will we continue to reduce prices next week?

　　The increase in supply is the main reason for the decline in the price of cherries.

　　In fact, the price of cherries this year was not so low from the beginning of listing. In the early stage, it was high because of the reduction of production in importing countries. However, with the passage of time, the output of various places increased, and the price of cherries showed a continuous downward trend.

　　Mr. Li, the head of a supermarket chain engaged in purchasing, predicts that the price of cherries will drop next week. "Now, the cherries on our side are all from Guangzhou, and large foreign cargo ships are shipped to Guangzhou first and then sent to various markets. There is another shipment today, so the supply will increase a lot, and the price should drop next week. "

　　The progress of fresh-keeping technology also makes the price of fruit lower and lower. "Take Hongyan strawberry as an example. Strawberries are not easy to preserve, and the loss rate in transit is relatively high, which leads to increased costs and higher terminal prices. But now the fresh-keeping technology and preservation in transit are getting better and better. After the cost drops, the price naturally comes down. " Mr. Li said.

　　Industry insiders predict that as the Spring Festival approaches, cherries will enter the sales peak in late January.
