Spring Festival approaching Hefei mushroom prices rise

Last year, a pound of golden needle mushroom was still between two and three yuan. This year it has already sold 8 yuan a pound. Due to the substantial price increase of raw materials such as cottonseed hulls this year, coupled with the recent low temperature and large demand, edible fungus prices in provincial cities have risen by about 20%. With the Spring Festival approaching, mushroom prices are expected to continue to rise.

Miss Huang, who lives in a district of Taihu Road, the provincial capital, loves hotpots. He recently found a hotpot restaurant with friends and discovered that the price of a mushroom has risen from 10 yuan to 12 yuan, and its weight is also low. "A few chopsticks will go on." The waiter told Ms. Huang that the price of the mushroom had recently risen and had to be reduced accordingly.

In the Weigang farmers' market on the provincial capital Huizhou Avenue, Aunt Lai, who is buying vegetables, also found that the prices of mushrooms in the market have risen. Flammulina pounds 8 yuan, mushrooms a pound of 9 yuan, the most common oyster mushrooms are sold for 5 yuan a pound. "It seems that not long ago, Pleurotus was less than three dollars a pound."

At the provincial farmer’s market in Furong District, Chen Dajie, who sells vegetables, told reporters that in the past one or two weeks, edible fungi have risen particularly sharply. When the price was low, Pleurotus ostreatus had sold a minimum of 1.5 yuan a pound, and now it rose to 5 yuan a pound, more than doubled.

Zhou Tao, a market information officer at the Valley, told reporters that mushroom prices have risen significantly in the past week. At present, the wholesale price of golden needle mushroom is about 6 yuan per catty, which is about 20% higher than a week ago. Pleurotus ostreatus wholesale price 4 yuan, wholesale price of mushrooms 6.5 yuan, respectively, rose about a dollar.

Ding Lunbao, president of the Feixi County Rare Edible Fungi Association, told reporters that many edible fungus manufacturers raised the supply price during this time, and the retail price in the market naturally rose. Flammulina is currently at a market price of 8 yuan a catty, compared with only 2.5 yuan last year. "It's more than doubled."

Li Tao told reporters that the recent sales season is the peak season for mushroom sales, but the amount of listed products has decreased significantly compared with the same period of last year. At present, the market is trading at about 70 tons per day, which is only about 70% of the same period of last year. Dumbledore said that the most important reason for the rise of edible fungi is increased costs. Most varieties of Pleurotus ostreatus, Flammulina velutipes, and Agrocybe aegerita require cottonseed husks as a base material. This year’s significant increase in cotton prices has driven up the price of cottonseed hulls. The previous three cents a pound of cottonseed hulls rose to more than a kilogram this year. In addition, the substantial increase in labor costs and the continued low temperature have caused the growth of mushrooms to be slow, which has also led to higher prices.

In addition, labor costs have also increased dramatically. "In the past, the highest monthly salary for a worker was 1,200 yuan. This year, no worker was able to get 1,500 yuan or less. Plus the recent low temperatures, the slow growth of mushroom species has also led to rising prices." For example, the growth cycle of warm mushroom bulbs In 10 days or even shorter, it is now 15 to 20 days before listing. "Less the number of listed products encountered during the Spring Festival sales season, the price is naturally higher. Ding Lunbao expects that if the cold weather continues, until the Spring Festival edible mushroom prices may continue to rise.
