The phenomenon of vegetable prices soaring not only occurred in Guangzhou recently, but also has appeared in many other cities in China because of the stepwise increase of logistic and labor costs.
Moreover, the abnormal climate change during the spring festival season also attributed to the significant price increase of vegetables. In January, the cold wave hit the southern region and the vegetable growing areas are severely damaged. In conjunction with the tight vegetable supply situation, the vegetable prices soared in the majority part of the region in China.
