Agricultural product wholesale markets play a critical role in the circulation and trading of agricultural products. Since the reform and opening-up, China's agricultural product wholesale markets have evolved from small-scale, spontaneous operations to a networked system, gradually forming a comprehensive framework. They increasingly contribute to agricultural and rural economies, as well as overall national economic development.
With the enhancement of China's agricultural production capacity and rising consumer demand, agricultural products remain essential daily necessities. Consequently, the transaction scale of wholesale markets has exhibited rapid growth. Wholesale prices formed through open competition in these markets fully reflect the supply-demand dynamics and value principles of agricultural products. These prices serve vital functions in guiding production, facilitating circulation, and directing consumption.
