Vendors at Dounan Flower Market in Kunming, Yunnan: Not much in stock. Because the price is too high this year, the price has dropped by 80%.
So why did the holiday flowers start to increase in price?
There is a simple reason. First of all, the demand for flowers in various holidays has increased, leading to an increase in prices. Every time before the festival, the flower shop needs to stock up in advance, usually 15 days before the festival. The flower shop does a good job on the festival day. If the goods are in stock and out of stock, the flower shop needs to continue to purchase them. However, due to the problem of planting flowers, the output can not be restored in time, resulting in a shortage of flowers and rising prices.
Secondly, flowers have a certain shelf life. In order to provide consumers with the freshest flowers, many flower shops will get the goods before holidays, which is affected by the relationship between supply and demand (generally, the demand of flower shops on holidays is relatively large), leading to the increase in flower prices.
In addition, people also want to buy flowers in festivals to express their feelings for their loved ones. However, the planting technology of good flowers is not very advanced, and the scarcity of things makes the price of "good flowers" rise!
This is a self-regulating economic phenomenon when the market supply and demand are unbalanced. When holidays come, people often buy flowers again. Therefore, the market demand has increased greatly these days, and the number of flowers will not increase sharply at once. Therefore, supply exceeds demand, supply exceeds demand, and prices rise. After the holidays, people's demand is greatly reduced, a large number of flowers are unsalable, supply exceeds demand, and prices naturally fall.
In fact, the price increase of holiday flowers is too normal. Now most markets in the north are transported or planted in greenhouses. Because the weather has just warmed up, many places will be more expensive.
