Vegetable wholesaler Li Xin:(Tomatoes) Today’s price is about seventy-eight cents (per catty), which is one dollar (per catty) when it is brought to the market, compared with two dollars and sixty-seven dollars some time ago.

Vegetable wholesaler Li Jingfeng:One dollar a day (money), sold more than four dollars yesterday, and sold more than three dollars today. The prices of local dishes have all come down, and they are all cheap. The food is still going down, and everything is going down.

Market managers told reporters that every year 5-mdash; July is the seasonal correction period of vegetable prices. Recently, due to the increase in the supply of western vegetables to the East and the large number of local vegetables on the market, the average price has dropped by about 50%.
