標題: [香港新聞] 米貴再漲價3成 [打印本頁]

作者: raffaello 時間: 2011-10-24 12:10 標題: 米貴再漲價3成

泰國水災持續，逐漸威脅首都曼谷，除重挫當地旅遊業，糧食出口亦大受影響。有本地米商指，泰國米進口價格短期內見上升，相信12月後米價會再升三成，有家庭主婦擔心米貴，準備提早「入貨補倉」。

　　香港食米進口商負責人李豐年指：「泰國每年皆有水災，今年特別嚴重，當地政府早前向農民提高穀物收購價，令進口米價持續上升。兩個月前入口價每噸約1000美元（約7800港元），現時需1200多美元（約9360港元），料零售價亦相對提高。至於未來的訂價，則視乎11月底的收成，相信12月後米價或於短期內升三成，明年2至3月才回落。」

　　李續稱，即使米價升，對銷情影響有限。「以往提高米價都未見銷情減退。米始終可飽肚，且佔每個家庭開支不大。」

零售商︰獲預告加價

　　有零售商指，接到供應商通知，之後會提高泰國米的來貨價，暫未知加幅多少。「惟有貴買貴賣啦。我諗啲人唔會唔食米啩。」現時25公斤裝的金鳳泰國米，售價為330元，較去年增10%，若如進口商所指加價30%，每包米將再貴100元。

　　黃太一家進食泰國米多年，以往泰國水災都見米價波動，考慮預先購買2至3包米儲在家中。「反正都要食，提早買多幾包，避免在加價時才入貨。」她續指，現時8公斤好運牌泰國米售80多元，較年初時僅約70元已見加價。

洪峰周五再臨

　　泰國政府日前宣布打開曼谷閘門洩洪，曼谷北部水位持續上升，洪水正逼近當地第二大的廊曼機場，該處現時為數千名災民的臨時避難中心。

　　潮水上漲，沿湄南河的街道出現水浸，軍隊繼續加固河堤，但市中心並沒受影響。當局預計，下一次洪峰將於周五至下周日到達，屆時會流經湄南河。

港旅行社如常出團

　　受水災影響，泰國旅行社協會早前指本月訂房紀錄銳減70%。本港保安局正向泰國發出黃色旅遊警示。有旅行社承認，報曼谷團的旅客短期略有減少。

　　新華旅遊助理總經理蘇子揚指，現約有300名團友於曼谷，除夢幻樂園及野生動物園，市中心及芭堤雅等未受影響，會如常出團，但承認報團往當地的旅客放緩。東瀛遊執行董事禤國全指，每日都與當地同事聯絡，行程暫沒受阻。至於會否影響聖誕銷情或部署，現時言之尚早。

市民意見

　　陳女士：不會因加價而大量存積白米。如加幅過高，考慮買內地米取代。

　　趙先生：不會刻意囤米，只會趁超市特價多購一兩袋白米。即使泰國米加價亦不會考慮內地出產的白米。

新聞通識

　　泰國米每年只得1造，而泰國香米佔本港進口白米逾8成。真空包裝食米儲存期較長，市民可考慮趁米價未升，多買一些存在家中陰涼地方。

I think the cost of living is relative affordable in Vancouver, with the exception of real estate.
The price of rice is not much different from 30 years ago, I paid $25 CDN for a sack of AA Brand Rice
in 1977 when I came to Canada while the minimum wage was $3 per hour.

Fruit is cheaper in the US than in Canada. Due to warmer weather in the US, they have longer growing seasons than in Canada.

作者: blue20ae 時間: 2011-10-25 13:18

It depends on which cities and what type of fruit you are comparing.

For example, Apple, which is also grown around in Interior, the price in Vancouver is comparable to Washington state. For Asian fruit, Vancouver likely has better price than Seattle, as we import more.

Dairy products and eggs are much more expensive in Canada, no matter how much you buy.

yes
milk is worthless in the US
a 4L milk is cheaper than a 4L water

Meat and seafood are also cheaper in US

作者: 快樂牛郎 時間: 2011-10-25 15:03

not sure about seafood on the west coast
but it's dirt cheap on the east coast

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2011-10-25 15:12

Well, I am in Stupid Cow town .. so .. in general, fruit/dairy product/milk etc ... is half the price from US...

Say milk, we bought some organic milk in Seattle, $2.99 (or 3.99?) for 2L .. vs $3.99 for ONE L here ...

Anyway, we all know everything is cheaper in US then the rest of the world in general .. and yes, it is also true, "RICE" price is only small % .. one bag of rice is good for a yr or 2 ... but few % here, few % there .. it all add up!

And we can't get RAW milk here at all!! I visited my friend in SF and I would love to try out raw milk...

I think the closest place I can get it is from Washington states...

I toured some organic diary farms in Abbotsford, the owner reserves some
unpasteurized milk for his family. However, all the milk goes into the vat have to be
pasteurized and shipped across the nation.
Some small cheese factories make raw milk cheese and you can buy raw milk cheese at farm markets if you are lucky. Urban Fare has some raw milk cheese but they cost a fortune

cost of living is not the same as prices

the import prices can be low while the retail prices are high with rent/labor and everything else included

if your income is inflated, then your spending is also inflated. That doesn't change the fact that food prices are low.

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2011-10-25 16:56

True ..

That is why, cost of living in stupid Cow town is still "LOW" according to whatever report ... since average income here is almost highest in north america ..

Knew about raw milk cheese. There is/was a program that you can co-own a dairy cow and since you are the owner, you can get milk from the cow... It just gets very complicated... I just want to give it a try to see if I can actually drink it.
I am mildly lactose intolerance. I won't have bathroom problem after drinking cold milk but I felt "funny" everytime I drink it. But I am fine with cheese, yogurt, ice-cream...etc.
