Question

In China，mung bean（绿豆）soup is a common food in summer．But this year，your family might not make so much mung bean soup because of its high price．
The price of the mung bean is now more than 20 yuan per（每）kilogram．That is more expensive than pork!Last year，mung beans cost only 6 yuan per kilogram．What caused the price rise？Experts say there are several reasons．First，there is a smaller mung bean supply（供应）this year．There was a drought （干旱）in Northeast China last year．It is China's main producing area of bean．The drought stopped the beans from growing．
Also，some other crops such as corn，wheat and rice sold well last year．So many farmers chose to grow those crops instead of mung beans．As a result，there are fewer beans on the market this year．
Second，there are more demands（需求）for mung beans in the market．From January to March，our country's crop exports（出 口）increased by 22%．That includes the export of mung beans．For example，90% of mung beans in the Japanese market now come from China．
These days people are paying more and more attention to healthy eating habits，so they are eating more mung beans．
Another reason is that some sellers are buying a large number of mung beans from farmers．But they are not selling them to people．
They store the mung beans．When the market is short of mung beans，the price goes up．Then people who have been storing mung beans can sell them at a higher price．
But you don't have to worry that you cannot have any mung bean soup to cool yourself this summer．There are other drinks that are good to drink on hot days，such as green tea，lemonade（柠檬汁饮料）and fruit juice．And when fewer people want to buy mung beans，the price will go down at last．
