Beijing, June 14th (Li Jinlei, Xie Yiguan, Zuo Yukun, Wu Tao) In the early morning of June 13th, Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market was temporarily closed. As an important "vegetable basket" in Beijing, what impact will the closure of Xinfadi bring? Will the supply of vegetables and fruits be tight? Will the price rise? Do you want to grab food and hoard it?
On the 13th, the reporter interviewed a number of e-commerce platforms and enterprises, and visited a number of supermarkets in Beijing.

Is the supply of fruits and vegetables tight?
Beijing Xinfadi Market, located outside the South Fourth Ring Road in Beijing, is the largest "food basket" in the capital. Newly developed vegetables account for about 70% of the city’s total supply, pork accounts for about 10% of the city’s total supply, and beef and mutton accounts for about 3% of the city’s total supply.
Therefore, how will the temporary closure of Xinfadi affect the supply of daily necessities in Beijing, especially vegetables and fruits?
On June 13th, the reporter visited a number of supermarkets in different parts of Beijing and found that the number of customers buying vegetables increased significantly compared with the past, and some vegetables were temporarily out of stock, but the overall supply was stable.
On the afternoon of the 13th, the reporter found in a community supermarket in Xincun Street, Fengtai District, Beijing that the vegetable area was basically empty. Many residents were asking why the vegetables were sold out, and some discussed going to other supermarkets. The staff told the reporter: "Because it is a weekend, there are more dishes than usual, and the price is the same as usual, but it has been robbed this morning."

The reporter then rushed to an Auchan supermarket in Xincun Street, Fengtai District, where many vegetable shelves have been sold out, and only some fine packaged vegetables have surplus goods. As a new batch of green peppers has arrived, the citizens are all around to choose.
In a convenience supermarket in Xicheng District, Beijing, a new batch of cucumbers just arrived on the shelves, and immediately two or three citizens came forward to pick them up. "Usually it’s once every morning. As a result, the vegetables were basically sold out this morning, and I went to the wholesale market in the afternoon. " The supermarket staff said.

The reporter found in a good supermarket for fruits and vegetables in Changping District that some vegetables such as potatoes and cauliflower have been sold out. The clerk told the reporter, "Our vegetables are not from the new land, but from the direct supply of the origin. I didn’t expect that the new land would be closed, so there are not so many vegetables in stock. Today, there are many more people who come to buy food, so vegetables such as potatoes are temporarily sold out, but they will be supplied early tomorrow morning."

The reporter noticed that the supermarket placed a Yi Labao at the door to remind customers that "we promise to ensure sufficient product supply and stable prices, so please don’t worry, let alone snap up."
Wang Hongcun, the second-level inspector of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, also said on the 12th that most fresh supermarkets in Beijing have their own supply channels, and some supermarkets have adopted the direct supply mode, which has little impact on the supply guarantee of daily necessities.
What’s the change in price?
Wumart told reporters that "our price has not changed, and we are still doing 618 activities normally. The supply situation is only that individual goods are out of stock on the afternoon of the 13 th, such as Chinese cabbage and spinach, and there are indeed cases where they are out of stock. "
According to the reporter’s visit and public media reports, the vegetable prices of large supermarkets are generally stable, while some vegetable markets dominated by vendors have seen some vegetable prices increase.
Located in Xicheng District, Beijing, a convenient vegetable market is still rich in vegetables, and the price is slightly higher than that in the early morning of 13th, such as potatoes from 2.3 yuan to 3.0 yuan.
The vendor said that since the morning of the 13th, citizens have purchased vegetables in large quantities. Her dishes are wholesale from Yuegezhuang market. The price and variety of Yuegezhuang vegetables have not changed greatly this morning, but it is expected that the impact will be greater tomorrow.

In another people’s life service center in Xicheng District, in the past, there were only a few scattered food stalls on the three floors outside, and the price did not rise.
"Buy something to eat first, and there will be tomorrow!" The stall owner told reporters that his own dishes were not imported from Xinfadi, but from Liugezhuang wholesale market.
As an "old customer" there, the stall owner guarantees that there will be plenty of fresh vegetables tomorrow morning, but it is expected that many merchants who bought goods in Xinfadi will switch to other wholesale markets, and the price of vegetables may fluctuate.
In a red vegetable basket community supermarket in Xincun Street, Fengtai District, the vegetable vendor said, "Almost all the vegetables have been robbed, and the price is basically the same as usual. Some of them are a little expensive. I don’t know what the purchase price is tomorrow."
Shangchao and the grocery shopping APP have both removed salmon.
The reporter visited a number of convenience stores and supermarkets in Beijing and found that salmon had been removed from the shelves. "Don’t sell salmon! Resale will be punished. " A clerk of a supermarket said.
On the online, the reporter found that there are still seafood products on sale, but there are no salmon on sale. Meituan bought food and said that salmon products had been completely removed.
Other seafood products are sold normally. In a Carrefour store in Beijing, all kinds of aquatic products and seafood are still sold in the fresh food area, and the shelves where salmon was originally placed have been replaced with other varieties.

The reporter also noticed that when a young couple was near a seafood stall, the husband wanted to go forward and was caught by his wife.
In this regard, the stall owner of the seafood stall is also very helpless: "We are all qualified, and it is impossible for us to sell in a problematic market!" She told reporters that Saturday was originally a good time for seafood sales, because there were many elderly people living around. When children came back on weekends, family reunion often required some seafood. But today, the sales of seafood have been greatly affected.
"There are a lot fewer people buying, and everyone will ask about the Beijing-Shenzhen seafood market." The stall owner said that his seafood was purchased from Wangsiying Seafood Market. Today’s price is still relatively stable, but according to this sales situation, it is estimated that the price will change soon.
Beijing has taken many measures to protect the "vegetable basket""supply
In order to ensure the normal supply of vegetables and fruits, Beijing has also taken various measures.
On the 13th, Wang Hongshou, the second-level inspector of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce, said at the press conference that during the temporary closure of Xinfadi, the vegetables and fruits originally traded in the market were moved to designated areas, which were divided into five areas.
Vegetables are traded in the following designated areas: first, the venue of international famous wine city; Second, the large truck parking lot in Xinfadi market; The third is the parking lot of Xinfadi Village; Fourth, the site of the International Aquatic City on the east side of the North Bridge in Xinfadi, all of which are used for wholesale trading of vegetable carts.
The fruit is located in the temporary trading area of Yangfang, the north gate of Shengfang International Flower Headquarters Base.
In addition, vehicles transporting beef and mutton are diverted to Yuegezhuang wholesale market in the northeast corner of Yuegezhuang Bridge in the West Fourth Ring Road.

At the same time, catering enterprises and government organizations are encouraged to purchase goods from wholesale markets such as Dayang Road, Yuegezhuang and Shuitun, large supermarket chains or surrounding community markets during the temporary closure of Xinfadi.
It is understood that during the closure of Xinfadi Market, in order to expand the trading volume and meet the needs of the public, Yuegezhuang Wholesale Market decided to extend its business hours. The business hours of the meat hall changed from 9: 00 to 23: 00 to 8: 00, and the pork market increased from 1,000 to 2,000 to 3,000 per day.
Enterprises have responded to "guarantee supply"", saying there is no need to snap up.
