柠檬短缺影响甚重从大数据看柠檬危机

But a drug war aside, the lime crisis may not be as dire as we think. According to analysis by the data analytics group of the business software company SAP, the numbers tell a different story -- one that suggests that people are forgetting the seasonality of pricing. By crunching data from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USDA) Market News, SAP found that prices are historically higher in the spring due to low production in the winter, which means a price drop is on the horizon -- and already beginning -- as production picks up this summer.

虽然毒贩和枪战听起来很吓人，但眼下这场柠檬危机却可能并不像我们想象的那样无解。根据企业软件公司SAP的数据分析集团的分析显示，人们可能忽略了价格的季节性波动。通过对美国食品和药品监督管理局（USDA）发布的市场信息的分析，SAP公司发现，由于冬季产量较低，柠檬的价格历来在春季较高，这也就意味着随着产量在夏季回升，柠檬的价格不久便会下降，而且现在这种势头已经开始了。
