Compared with last year, in 2014, the market purchase price of Chinese chestnut is 2 Yuan higher than last year. For Xinglong County in Hebei producing region, the first purchase price of unified goods in last year is about 5 Yuan, while it is above 7 Yuan this year, moving smoothly and tending to be higher later.

　　The main cause of the overall higher market price is that it is the off-year for chestnut, with little output. The north is dry with little rain and is greatly influenced by the weather. But the increase of customer demands results in high starting price for Chinese chestnut this year.

　　Chinese chestnut cuts this year, and the nutrient accumulation is sufficient before winter, which forms an on-year for the next year (2015). The output may increase without special weather, so purchasing merchants need to be careful.
