Why are chestnuts so expensive this year? Forecast for chestnut price trend in 2020

Many people have found that chestnuts are much more expensive this year than in the past. Why is the price of chestnuts rising? It's not because people love to eat them, of course, there are other reasons. Let's take a look at why chestnuts are so expensive this year, hoping to help everyone.

Why are chestnuts so expensive this year?

One is caused by the severe drought this year.

Because chestnuts are also natural and pollution-free wild fruits in the mountains. There are many wild chestnuts here. The reason for the reduction in production this year is mainly due to the dry climate and lack of rain. My classmates and I used to go to Xishan to pick wild chestnuts every year, but this year we couldn’t get any. The chestnuts looked densely packed, but when we picked them, none of them were cracked. There were no mature fruits or seeds inside.

Most wild chestnut trees grow in arid areas between mountains. Due to drought and little rain this year, the chestnuts on the mountains are basically out of production. The chestnuts that are still in production have basically decreased by about 2/3. So the price of chestnuts this year is very expensive, and this is the main reason.

Chestnuts are delicious. This year's chestnuts are especially sweet because of the drought.

The second reason is that this year is a bad year for chestnut production. Chestnuts, like apples, have good and bad years.

Last year, there was a bumper harvest of chestnuts, and the market price was 3-6 yuan per catty. This year, the chestnut production is relatively small, and the chestnuts rarely bloom and set seeds, which is the second main reason why chestnuts are expensive.

The chestnuts harvested from chestnut trees that can receive water are particularly pink, tender and sweet.

Third, the demand for chestnuts is increasing.

In recent years, chestnuts, as natural, pollution-free and pollution-free dried fruits, have been increasingly sought after and purchased by people. As purchasing power grows, things become more valuable when they are scarce. This is an eternal truth. People's demand for chestnuts is also increasing, which is one of the reasons for the rising prices of chestnuts. Chestnuts are delicious and nutritious. Eating some chestnuts in autumn can strengthen the spleen, nourish the stomach, stop bleeding and reduce swelling, nourish the waist, and strengthen the tendons and bones.

Why chestnuts are becoming more and more popular

I believe that everyone is tired of eating many fruits nowadays, and many fruits have lost their original taste. For example, our citrus fruits now have no other taste except sweet, and apples now have no taste in the mouth, but only chestnuts still taste like they did in childhood.

In fact, this is closely related to the growth of chestnuts, because we all know that all fruits now need to be bagged, whether it is oranges, pears or apples. But friends who know chestnuts know that chestnuts never need to be bagged, and there is no way to bag chestnuts because the shell of chestnuts is covered with honey thorns. So in a sense, chestnuts are one of the few original ecological foods now. In this social background of pursuing ecological and green agricultural products, chestnuts are naturally more and more popular with consumers.
