Cherry Prices Drop Significantly in Taiwanese Market! 29% Off

Previously, people who wanted to eat cherries were surprised by the high prices. The main reason was the impact of abnormal weather on the production areas. In San Joaquin (San Joaquin), the largest cherry production area in California, 63.5% of the crops were damaged, and the damage was very serious. This also led to the early end of the California cherry season this year. At that time, vendors in Taipei's traditional markets said that California cherries were priced at more than 550 yuan per dan jin, and the quality was not as good as in previous years. The market generally expected that prices would have the opportunity to fall after the import of Washington cherries in June. As the California production season ended, cherries from the northwestern United States, with Washington State as the core, including Oregon, Montana, Idaho, and Utah, took over the market. When the air-freighted cherries from Washington arrived in Taiwan in June, they were sold for about 280 yuan per dan jin in Taiwan's traditional markets or supermarkets. The arrival of sea-freighted cherries from the western United States has driven a price reduction trend in the market! The reduction in the closing price of traditional markets has reached nearly 30%? As the arrival of sea-freighted cherries from the western United States, which have relatively lower transportation costs, is imminent, a clear price reduction trend has already appeared at the market end. According to the Liberty Times report, vendors in traditional markets said that the current price of cherries has dropped to 220 yuan per dan jin, and the closing promotional price called out in the evening even reached 199 yuan per dan jin, with an overall reduction of 21.4% to 29%, officially breaking the 200 yuan mark. In addition to traditional markets, American-style supermarkets have also attracted many people to rush to buy. A Taiwanese Costco member shared in the "COSTCO 好市多 商品消費心得分享區" Facebook community that the 907-gram package of air-freighted cherries from Washington was priced at 399 yuan, which, after conversion, is equivalent to about 264 yuan per dan jin. How to choose cherries with a big price difference? Market vendors reveal the key factor is the grade. Regarding the price difference between the market and the supermarket, vendors in traditional markets specially emphasized that the variety, fruit size, and grade of cherries are different, so the price will naturally have a difference. Consumers can make choices based on their personal requirements for quality and taste. With the large-scale replenishment of sea-freighted cherries, the overall supply of the market is relatively stable. Those who want to taste the cherries from the northwestern United States this season may as well take this opportunity to purchase from traditional markets or supermarkets during this price reduction period.
