While people are still asleep, Wu Liting vegetable wholesale market is a busy trading scene. Under the flickering lights, people are weaving and traffic is surging. At this time, Lang Ning, deputy stationmaster of the Agricultural Technology Extension Station of the Autonomous Region, led all the staff of the Economic Work Office and related comrades of Nanning Agricultural Bureau and Nanning Agricultural Products Quality Testing Center, accompanied by market managers in Wu Liting, to visit the wholesale facade of edible fungi in the market on the spot to check and understand the trading, quality and safety of edible fungi.
In recent years, all parts of our region have given strong support to the edible fungi industry, and the output of edible fungi has increased substantially. With the improvement of people's living standards, the domestic consumption of edible fungi continues to rise, and Guangxi is no exception. As the main wholesale market of edible fungi in Guangxi, Wu Liting Vegetable Wholesale Market in Nanning has a daily trading volume of about 4 tons of edible fungi, which is the main source of edible fungi consumption in Nanning. In order to ensure the quality and safety of edible fungi products, since February this year, the quality inspector of Wu Liting wholesale market has insisted on taking samples of edible fungi from the wholesale market for inspection every day, and dealing with the problematic products in time. After several investigations, the government strictly controlled the quality and safety information of edible fungi products, which made the unqualified products in this market gradually withdraw. In recent days, reporters have seen it in Nanning market, Beihu vegetable market, Tamura vegetable market and other markets. In addition to the common Pleurotus eryngii and Flammulina velutipes, there are various edible fungi such as Lentinus edodes, Coprinus comatus, Agrocybe aegerita and Russula. 20 yuan/kg Agrocybe aegerita was originally sold to 4 yuan/kg, while Coprinus comatus and Agrocybe aegerita, which are rarely seen at ordinary times, are now only about 8 yuan, half less than before.
At 6 o'clock yesterday morning, the reporter got up early and went to the wholesale market in Wu Liting. He found that there was an endless stream of vendors who came to wholesale fresh mushrooms, and the transaction was very active. A vendor who set up a stall in the trading hall said that during this period, the varieties of mushrooms sold were not the most, but the sales volume was good, and sometimes dozens of bags could be sold a day.
Li, president of Nanning Edible Fungi Association, who has been engaged in edible fungi research for decades, analyzed that most edible fungi are thermophilic bacteria at present, and the price this year is cheaper than in previous years for two reasons: First, edible fungi cultivation in Nanning has begun to take shape and the output has increased; Second, SARS hit this summer, and the catering industry suffered a "cold current". The business of restaurants is not as good as before, and the demand for edible fungi has dropped greatly. One increase and one decrease have led to a decline in the price of edible fungi this year.
