As a common and rare fruit in summer, "watermelon" can not only quench people's thirst in hot summer, but also be much cheaper than ordinary fruit. Therefore, love is very popular in our country, and almost every family will buy watermelons to eat in summer. However, China people's "eating melons" looks very luxurious in the eyes of Japanese and Koreans, and many civilian families are even unwilling to eat watermelons.

Then, why is this kind of fruit, which costs a few dollars or even a few cents a catty in China, a "luxury" in the eyes of Japanese and Koreans?

Watermelons in Japan and South Korea are very expensive!

?

According to the survey, although the price of watermelon in China is very cheap, it even costs 200 yuan RMB to buy a watermelon in Japan and South Korea. I have to say that this price is really expensive for buying a watermelon.

Seeing this, I believe many people in China will sigh that China is still good! After all, living in China can afford watermelons, so why are Japanese and Korean watermelons so expensive? After analysis, the following reasons can be roughly summarized:

First, the supply is insufficient. Japan and South Korea have very limited land resources, so agriculture belongs to underdeveloped countries. So it is difficult to grow watermelons in Japan and Korea. The supply of watermelon can't meet the needs of the people, and the natural price will be more expensive.

Second, the planting cost of watermelon will be higher. The climatic conditions in Japan and South Korea are far worse than those in Xinjiang and Ningxia in China, so the growth of watermelons in Japan and South Korea will be severely restricted, and it is very difficult to grow watermelons with better quality.

Third, the labor cost is relatively high. After all, Japan and South Korea have now entered the ranks of developed countries. What watermelon needs most is labor cost. If the price is not high, I am afraid that even the cost will not be recovered.

Fourth, food safety supervision in Japan and South Korea is relatively strict. Different from China, in the season when watermelons are on the market, people selling watermelons can be seen everywhere on the roadside, but this phenomenon does not occur in Japan and South Korea. Watermelons in Japan and South Korea need strict quality control before they are sold, which leads to the increase in watermelon prices.

Why not import?

?

Having said that, some people may say that since watermelons in Japan and South Korea are so expensive, why don't they choose to grow watermelons from China?

First of all, if a country depends entirely on imports, it will also have a certain impact on its own agriculture. Therefore, in order to protect China's agricultural development, not all commodities depend on imports.

Secondly, imported goods also need to pay a lot of tariffs. In addition, Japan and South Korea are so strict about the quality of goods that I am afraid that not all watermelons can pass the inspection and reach the people in Japan and South Korea.

Therefore, even if the price of watermelons in Japan and South Korea is expensive, people in Japan and South Korea rarely have the opportunity to eat cheaper watermelons. However, people in Japan and South Korea can still replace watermelons with other fruits when they can't afford them. However, the Japanese and South China people should also envy the Japanese for eating melons and eating enough!

Generally speaking, Japanese and Korean countries do not import watermelons from China to meet domestic demand, mainly due to domestic development and some comprehensive factors. However, it is a pity that people in developed countries can't even afford watermelons.
