“Physical Blocking” in the Supply Chain
Typhoon transit is often accompanied by winds, rainstorms and storms. According to the national standards of the China Meteorological Agency's tropical cyclone level, when the maximum wind force near the center reaches level 12 or above, it is defined as Typhoon . This level of weather disaster is extremely damaging to agricultural infrastructure. First, outdoor-grown leafy vegetables are extremely vulnerable to breaking or flooding, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of mature vegetables to be harvested in the field. Second, the persistent heavy rain caused by Typhoon will result in water accumulation in the farmland, making the harvesting machine unable to go to the field, and the difficulties and risks of artificial harvesting are also greatly increased.
More crucial is the interruption of the logistics link. In order to ensure the safety of people, the corresponding emergency response mechanisms are usually launched throughout Typhon during the influence, including stops, work and traffic control measures (standards can vary around the place, according to the local government issued) . highways closure, ferry stops, railway stops, these measures directly cut the transport artery of vegetables from the place of origin to the place of sale.
Increased cost and supply imbalance
In addition to the reduction of the supply side, the rise in costs is also an important factor in the fluctuation of food prices. Before the arrival of Typhoon, farmers and distributors often need to invest in additional human resources to pick up and strengthen shelves, which preventative costs will eventually partially lead to the end price. At the same time, by at the road blocked, transport vehicles may need to bypass further routes, or generate additional time costs and storage losses while waiting for the recovery of traffic.
从需求端来看, Typhoon 期间居民出 at 避险心理, 倾 toward at 提前囤积耐储存的食物, 导致短期内 City场需求激增. 然而, 供给因灾减少, 需求却因恐慌而Zoom in, 这种严重的供需失衡必然导致价格上涨. 此外, 部分本地蔬菜基地受灾后, 城 City供应需依赖外地调运, 长距离运输不仅增加了运费, 还使得蔬菜失去了“本地低价”的优势.
Rational view and response suggestions
As the weather improves, the traffic recovers and the rapid addition of outdoor vegetables, prices usually gradually fall back to normal within one to two weeks. for at ordinary residents, understanding this economic rule helps to keep consumption rational and avoid waste caused by blindly following the wind.
We recommend that you pay attention to the latest early warning information released by the meteorological department, reasonably arrange the procurement plan. During the Typhoon impact, properly select storage-resistant vegetables such as stems to replace leafy vegetables. At the same time, support local agriculture recovery, give Cityfield a certain buffer Time. Live Typhoons path is available at TyphoonSays (taifengshuo.com)
