Last Thursday, I had to travel to Fang district to see some mango selecting. As I said before this year's weather is quite strange. For example the winter was very cold and long and this summer is extremely hot. We hit 40 Celsius last month. These phenomenal heavily effected the agricultural production.
Firstly it effected the harvest schedule, for example the Mangos riped very fast and almost all in the same time. That is not good for marketing this meaning that the supply exceeds the demand.
The result was tons of produces had to be sold to the factories to be process to juice, frozen or canned goods by very low price. This is not good for the farmers but it was better than nothing.
Secondly after they all riped and came out in one sort period it caused a shortage in the next period.
Finally because of the extreme hot weather the mango are effected and then comes the quality issue
.
Fresh produce business is sometimes similar to Stock trade. The price goes up and down daily by the demand and supply.
There is a lot of pressure in the work. Your in between the producer and buyer and everyone is pressuring you but also fun if you could control your emotions and resist to the heat. I think every work is like this its a mind game personally for you. Just play and try Winning.
