The edible rape currently for sale in the market mainly comes from Daxing and Fangshan in Beijing, Langfang and Baoding in Hebei, Wuqing in Tianjin, and Cao county in Shandong. The price of edible rape recently showed a relatively large increase as a result of recent weather conditions. Shandong suffered from heavy rainfall and flooding. The small edible rape plants in Beijing and nearby areas also suffered from various conditions. The overall production volume declined and the overall price rose. The price of edible rape showed significant fluctuations during the rainy period.
The growing cycle of edible rape is relatively short. In the summer season, the production of edible rape only takes 40 days and then the harvest enters the market. Many small edible rape plants from various production areas already entered the market around the same time.
The relay between production areas and the rotation of crops is smooth. They complement each other well. The price is therefore stabilizing. The fluctuations are short-lived and a long-term price increase is unlikely. Even though the price increased this week, when the weather turns better, the price will come down again.
