Hiromichi Akiba, president of Akidai supermarket (headquartered in Nerima-ku, Tokyo), says, “Vegetables are generally cheaper in November, and they are a savior to household finance.” It seems that the reason for this is related to the heat of summer and autumn. Please let us know about the price trends for vegetables in November.
What vegetables are free in November?
“Due to the continuous heat in the autumn, we could not sow the seeds we had planted at the usual time. Everyone arrived at the starting line late, and the race all started at the same time. Naturally, when the seeds were released, it will be released all at the same time.”(President Akiba)
Even though the prices of some vegetables have been high in the past, prices will come down in November.
“Raishes have been a bit expensive for a while, but they will go down from November. Until now, Tohoku and Hokkaido were the main production areas, and shipping costs were high, but now products from the Kanto region have started to appear. In the Kanto region, The biggest problem this year was the high temperature, but on the other hand, we were also happy that there was no damage from typhoons.
The daikon radishes available now are the ones that grew when the soil temperature was high, so some of them look a little bad, but they are getting better and better. better with each passing day.
What you should pay attention to is Chinese cabbage. Right now it’s a little higher than normal, but it’s going to go down after this.”(President Akiba)
There are other vegetables that look promising.
“Lettuce is cheap, and tomatoes are falling too.” Lotus roots are still cheap.
Green onions and daikon, essential for hot dishes, will also be available for sale. Basically, the prices of mushrooms will not change much, but you can safely assume that the prices of other vegetables will go down.”(President Akiba)
“Onion prices will go up a bit in November. However, although they go up, they are not extremely high.
Potatoes are still cheap for a while, and carrots are also generally good. The first half of the year is good, and during the season for fall carrots, the price goes up a little because of the shortage, but it only lasts for about a week. The performance is not bad, so the basics will go down. Good for making stews, curries, meatballs, etc.
Pumpkins are not bad by any means, but if they are imported, they may go up in price due to the weaker yen and shipping costs. When it comes to homegrown pumpkins for the coming season, you can choose tasty ones by looking for ones with large balls, and if cut, those with strong seeds and thick flesh.” (President Akiba)
Which vegetables are you worried about a price increase in November?
“Cabbages are scarce at the moment, and they will be expensive in the first half of November.
This is because although the summer/autumn cabbage that is currently being sold has ended, the autumn/winter cabbage is delayed. Normally, the results from Chiba and Miura in Kanagawa would be available, but they are about 20 days late. This year, it was hot all the way from summer to September, so we couldn’t plant quickly. I think it will settle down gradually in the second half of November, and then down after that.
The situation is not very good for cucumbers, which are still a little high. It is high until the middle of November, and then falls in the second half.” (President Akiba)
Rising food prices have become a hot topic, but it seems that many vegetables are generally cheaper in November. In autumn, when you have good food, you want to eat a lot of seasonal vegetables.
