In particular, the picking and transportation efficiency of vegetables will also be improved. There is no problem with market supply. "

　　　　　　 According to the price monitoring center of the National Development and Reform Commission, overall, vegetable prices will gradually stabilize. The prices of some vegetable varieties will show a steady and declining trend.
