Why do agricultural product prices fluctuate so dramatically?
Over the years, media outlets have frequently reacted with alarm to fluctuations in agricultural product market prices, even coining a string of "quirky" new terms in the process. Examples include "Garlic Is Ruthless," "Beans Are for Play," "Ginger Army," "Onion Shockwave," and "Sugar Emperor"—all of which share one common thread: they highlight astonishment over rising prices. Meanwhile, there are remarkably few "unusual" terms used to describe falling prices—perhaps only "Dropping Steadily." This might stem from the fact that journalists, as urban consumers, tend to feel and respond more directly—and perhaps more acutely—to price increases.
The media’s tendency to dramatize agricultural price swings could be attributed to various factors. But at its core, it likely stems from a lack of understanding about the unique characteristics of agricultural production and supply dynamics.

“General Secretary Xi spoke so eloquently—it’s not only easy for us ordinary people to understand, but also straightforward enough for grassroots officials like us to put into practice. This has given our farmers a clearer direction as we work together to achieve prosperity and a better life!” On the afternoon of October 18, just after stepping out of the opening session of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Wu Xieen, a delegate to the congress and Party Secretary of Huaxi Village, immediately called Tao Kuijun, one of the village’s key officials. Through this call, he shared his excitement and heartfelt reflections on hearing General Secretary Xi’s report—immediately connecting with more than 50,000 villagers and employees who were thousands of miles away.
