This year's prices are lower than last year. The price of Chinese cabbage is 0.05 yuan [0.007 USD] per 0.5 kg lower and the price of leek is 0.1 yuan [0.014 USD] per 0.5 kg lower than last year. The price is lower because the retail period began one week later than last year. The supply volume is more abundant than it was one or two weeks ago, and the price therefore decreased. The product quality of winter stock vegetables is higher than last year. This is because the harvest season was later than it was last year, which allowed the vegetables more time to develop.
