Among them, vegetable prices kept a seasonal decline.
In June, the national average wholesale price of 28 kinds of vegetables monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was 4.37 yuan per kilogram, down 7% from the previous month and 12.2% from the same period last year.

Zhang Jing, an associate researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Information, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that the national vegetable prices maintained a seasonal downward trend in June, mainly because a large number of storage-resistant vegetables and solanaceous vegetables were listed in summer, and the decline in the prices of these bulk vegetables significantly boosted the overall price of vegetables. Among them, the expansion of onion and potato is more common this year, and the price has dropped significantly. However, the summer output of solanaceous vegetables was significantly higher than that of the same period of last year, and the price of tomatoes decreased by 50% and that of cucumbers by 35%.
Experts said that the frequent occurrence of extreme weather such as heavy rainfall and high temperature in summer can easily lead to poor connection of vegetable stubble replacement, high temperature and high humidity can also easily lead to perishable vegetables and increase the cost of transportation and preservation. In the last week of June, the average weekly price of vegetables in China has turned from falling to rising.
Zhang Jing said: "It is expected that the downward space of vegetable prices will be limited in the later period, and the prices of some varieties may rise rapidly."

Among them, the first half of June was running at a low level, while the second half fluctuated, and different varieties showed a trend of differentiation. For example, bean vegetables were mainly warm-loving. The temperature rose relatively early and quickly this summer, and the output was significantly higher than that of the same period last year, and the price continued to decline.
In addition, cucumber, eggplant, tomato and other solanaceous vegetables also grow rapidly, the supply increases, and the price drops greatly. However, due to the influence of high temperature, some fresh leafy vegetables have yellow leaves and heartburn, and their quality has decreased, supply has decreased and prices have increased.
Liu Tong, a market analyst in Beijing Xinfadi, said: "Some vegetables are warm and some vegetables are cold, so the price is polarized. Similarly, because it is more difficult to keep vegetables fresh in a high temperature environment, merchants now cover vegetables with an ice pack, so the cost has increased. "
