Why are hairy crabs unsalable this year? Why are hairy crabs so cheap in 2019?

Due to the considerable sales profits in the hairy crab market in recent years, some unscrupulous merchants, in pursuit of higher economic benefits, use various illegal hormone feeds in the hairy crab breeding process to make the hairy crabs go on the market earlier. After this incident was exposed by the media, many citizens became afraid of hairy crabs as aquatic products and dared not buy or eat them, so hairy crabs in some places have experienced very terrible phenomena such as slow sales and slump in the market.

Why are hairy crabs unsalable this year?

The main problems are domestic supply and demand and the counterfeiting phenomenon. The annual production of hairy crabs in the country is 800,000 tons, and the real Yangcheng Lake production is only around 1,500 tons. Therefore, most people cannot eat authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. The cheaper ones are mountain crabs from Panjin, Liaoning, which may only cost 3-4 yuan each. Therefore, a large number of businesses sell inferior products as good ones in order to market at low prices. Such crabs are empty, dry and not fresh, but they can attract a lot of attention in the era of traffic, which makes the customer experience worse.

You may not be able to buy good quality crabs through these channels, and they will not be marketed at low prices because the breeding costs are there. In fact, this year's market is still good, with more capital involved, so there are a hundred schools of thought, and in the end it still depends on quality and service to survive the fittest. Delicious food is tasted and cannot be replaced.

Why are hairy crabs so cheap in 2019?

In many hairy crab producing areas, the wholesale price of a hairy crab weighing about 100 grams is only 1-2 yuan, but if you buy it in the market, it costs at least 10-15 yuan per crab. Therefore, the purchase price in the production area is nearly 10 times cheaper than the price we buy in the market. This clearly shows that the hairy crab production this year is oversupplied, which has led to a continuous decline in the wholesale price of hairy crabs. Therefore, some major hairy crab producing areas have indeed experienced a slow sales situation this year, and the price is very low.

How much does a pound of hairy crab usually cost?

As we all know, the price of hairy crabs in our lives is very high. The average price of hairy crabs of slightly better varieties is about 20 yuan. For home cooking, at least five to six hairy crabs are purchased each time. If you buy too few, one is not enough for each person. In this way, the cost of a family meal of hairy crabs is about 120-150 yuan.

Therefore, judging from the price alone, hairy crabs are definitely a high-end food product in our daily lives. For ordinary families, they will occasionally buy hairy crabs during festivals, but on weekdays, who would be willing to buy such expensive hairy crabs every day!
