From "peel" to "tangerine peel", the profit of "old craftsmanship" tangerine peel is "really fragrant"

According to calculations in "Das Kapital", if the profit exceeds 300%, there is no need to commit any criminal business, so should you do it or not?

I believe the answer for many people is "yes", and this business does exist, and that is "Xinhui Chenpi"!

To talk about the profit of tangerine peel, we have to start with "Xinhui Gan".

Every year when the Xinhui tangerine picking season comes, many consumers go to Xinhui to buy and pick tangerines. Locals also habitually go to the market to buy some fresh Xinhui tangerines and peel and dry the tangerine peels themselves.

Starting from the end of September to the beginning of October every year, large and small Xinhui tangerines can be seen on the stalls everywhere in major vegetable markets in Jiangmen City.

But recently, a friend from Xinhui reported to Lao Li that he saw the price of Xinhui tangerines at a fruit shop in a market in Xinhui was very low (2 yuan to 3 yuan/catty), and wondered whether the merchants were passing off fake products as genuine? Lao Li

Li will do a simple calculation today.

The Xinhui tangerine production area where Xinhui tangerines are located is basically a traditional production area surrounding the "Huicheng Town" of Xinhui. The price of its raw tangerines has not fluctuated greatly over the years, but the lowest price for picking it yourself at the tangerine farm is at least 3

It costs more than 1 yuan (the minimum selling price is 100 kilograms, which is the price of "one load"), and some remote Xinhui towns also cost 2 yuan (we will not discuss the traditional or new production areas of Xinhui here. Let's talk about non-local citrus first.

The problem).

So what is the purchase price of these Xinhui tangerines sold at fruit stalls for 2 to 3 yuan per pound, after accounting for transportation and channel sales costs?

Generally speaking, citrus fruits from the production area will first flow from the fruit farmers to the "first batch" buyers, and then transported to the fruit wholesale markets of the "second batch" in various places, and then resold to fruit stores for retail, so that each

The cost of each link increases by 30% (Lao Li also heard it from hearsay, and calculated conservatively), then 1 yuan/catty purchased from the fruit farmer will cost at least 2 yuan/more to go to the fruit wholesale market, and then to the fruit retail store, the price increase will be at least 50%, that is

At least 3 yuan/jin is a reasonable range.

Of course, the fewer the number of circulation channels, the lower the terminal’s cost of acquiring goods will be.

Take Xinhui tangerines as an example. Generally, Xinhui local fruit dealers purchase tangerines at the lowest price of 2-3 yuan/jin at the Xinhui tangerine farm. Then it is also possible to set the profit margin at about 5 yuan/jin.

reasonable.

If it is around Xinhui City, then the price is even more difficult to estimate.

Therefore, if the retail price on the market is less than 5 yuan per catty, and it is said to be "Xinhui tangerine", consumers should be more careful to identify it.

From the perspective of the local Xinhui tangerine market, Xinhui tangerines from the traditional production areas around the city are basically not sold in offline markets. First, the prices are relatively transparent, and Xinhui people can easily buy them at the on-site tangerine farms.

Second, the price is suppressed by tangerines from other places. Therefore, the Xinhui tangerines retailed in the offline market are mainly Xinhui tangerines from Xinhui jurisdiction and relatively remote production areas.

The Pharmacopoeia defines tangerine peel as follows: the dried and mature peel of Citrus citrus and its cultivated varieties of the Rutaceae family.

This definition of tangerine peel actually increases the sources of tangerine peel materials, making its supply more relaxed.

That is to say, tangerine peel is the added value of citrus itself. In a broad sense, it is a low-cost commodity. Therefore, in a certain market sense, the logic that tangerine peel "should be low-priced" also leads us to throw away the fresh fruit after eating it.

The reason why they are collected and dried into tangerine peel.

Lao Li once visited a tangerine peel merchant. The ex-factory price of "tangerine peel silk", the main raw material of tangerine peel, is about 3 yuan per kilogram. At such a price, let alone you and I are unwilling to collect citrus peels in our daily life. Even the largest citrus peels at present

The supplier "cannery" is also unwilling to peel the skin. After all, peeling requires labor and costs a lot.

Lao Li met a boss Zhou from Zhejiang on an e-commerce wholesale platform. The cannery he runs has suffered a bleak business this year due to the epidemic. In addition, last year, there was a backlog of hundreds of tons of peels (tangerine peels) that were difficult to sell. This year, too,

Don’t dare to purchase fresh fruit peels for processing.

In addition to well-known tangerine peel tree species such as Xinhui tangerine, many trees in other producing areas in my country (Guangxi, Yunnan, etc.) have either been grafted into tangerines, tangerines, etc. with higher economic prices, or have been basically unmanned for several years. Due to the state of management, if it is allowed to develop, even if the fruit does appear, it will be small and no one will pick it.

Due to the epidemic this year, the current price of tangerine peel is extremely high compared to the same period in history, and the amount of tangerine peel is huge, whether for medicinal, edible or oil extraction.

However, because many canneries are losing money and unable to increase tangerine peel production, small processing households are still financially limited, and growers have grafted other varieties and it is difficult to make up their mind to produce oranges again.

There are so many orange producing areas in our country that no matter how scarce the resources are, the basic quantity can still be guaranteed.
