Japan’s earthquake and nuclear leak have caused the population to “crazy” snap up two products: green tea and Nissan milk powder. The former is because recent tea merchants in Fuan, Fuding, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are speculating that “drinking green tea can prevent nuclear radiation,” making green tea, which has been “little tea” for a time, to become “Xiangshan”; On the other hand, young parents are considering that the earthquake in Japan may affect the production of Nissan milk powder and went to supermarkets and even went to Hong Kong to buy Nissan milk powder.

According to local media reports in Xiamen, affected by Japan's nuclear leakage, more and more Xiamen tea traders have stepped up their efforts to purchase green tea. Some tea traders have even increased their share of purchasing by nearly 10 times.

Dai Binghua, owner of Xiamen Longfeitang, said in an interview with the media that before that, the sales of Zhejiang Anji white tea (a type of green tea) was only about 2%, but at present it will increase the procurement of these teas, and the overall share will reach 20%. 30%. In recent days, Dai Binghua has been rushing back and forth between Zhejiang and Zhejiang to buy goods.

Coincidentally, there are also green tea buying in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. A Zhejiang tea merchant, who declined to be named, told reporters that the recent sales of green tea were exceptionally good and many customers came to buy green tea. While the reporter visited the Qianmen area in Beijing, he also discovered that some tea merchants even advertised “drinking tea and radiation protection” to attract customers.

Considering that the strong earthquake in Japan would make the Nissan milk powder out of stock, young parents also plan ahead and prepare milk powder in advance.

According to local media reports in Guangzhou, the fear of nuclear radiation triggered by the earthquake in Japan triggered an upsurge of young mothers in the Mainland to snap up Japanese milk powder in Hong Kong. Half a month after the earthquake, Hong Kong supermarkets, pharmacies, and Japanese grocery stores lining up with long queues of hunger for Japanese milk powder, and even some pregnant women who had not yet been born, bought 100 cans of milk powder at a time.

According to the report, the frantic buying has led to the sweeping away of Japanese milk powder in many shopping malls in Hong Kong, even shopping malls that introduced internal milk powder restrictions. Similar to milk powder, Japan's branded diapers, diapers, raw shellfish, abalone and other dry seafood products have also been snapped up.

The reporter interviewed some supermarkets in Beijing and learned that due to the chain reaction brought about by the large earthquake, the Japanese brand of milk powder was indeed tight in the past, but the peak of buying has passed and it has gradually returned to normal.

The hot sales of Nissan milk powder also boosted the popularity of related online stores. Entering “Meiji milk powder” on a shopping network, the reporter found that most businesses wrote the pre-quake inventory in a prominent place. Some also used pre-earthing inventory and special clearances as selling points. However, the reporter noticed that the 850-gram Japanese Meiji infant milk powder in one of the stores had already dropped to RMB 180 from a one-can of 300 yuan on March 27.
