The rise in pork prices first affects the quantity of pork consumption. Pork, which was originally cheap, has become fast because of the sharp rise in pork prices? Luxury goods? Take our place as an example. Today, the average price of pork has risen to one catty in 20 yuan and one catty in 25 yuan, provided that the income has not increased significantly. The high price of pork leads people to resist eating pork.
Especially in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places where pig prices are relatively high at present, it is said that the highest price of pork has exceeded the 30 yuan mark. This is the highest pork price in history. So pork sales have dropped sharply recently. In the words of market pig vendors, it used to be possible to sell three pigs a day, but now it is difficult to sell one in three days, because pork is too expensive, not only for consumers, but also for meat sellers.
In addition, the impact of rising pork is not just a decrease in sales. Because pork is the basic consumer goods of the public, the continuous rise in pig prices has affected other prices. Take our place as an example. Last month, the retail price of pork 15 yuan was 65,438 yuan per catty of 28 yuan, and the retail price of beef was 65,438 yuan per catty of 30 yuan. Now the price of pigs is rising, pork is sold to 20 yuan, mutton is sold to 33 yuan and beef is sold to 35 yuan. In addition, the prices of eggs, chicken and even vegetables have risen to some extent. Even the meat buns sold by a roadside shop have now gone up by one yuan. Due to the rising price of pigs, some netizens even joked that I want to eat meat, I don't want to work, I want to go back to being a boss, and I want to go home and raise pigs. It can be seen that the chain reaction brought about by the rise of pork is still relatively strong.
However, with the soaring price of pork, in order to stabilize the price of pork in the later period, the state has issued a series of macro-control, strengthened the supervision of the pork market, and prevented artificial speculation of pork prices. On the other hand, all localities have increased measures to encourage and support pig raising. For example, the ten pigs in Guangdong, the red envelope subsidies for breeding pigs in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the discount loan schemes for large-scale pig farms in Shandong, Sichuan and other pig-raising provinces all show that the state attaches great importance to the current rise in pork prices. It is expected that with the recovery of pig production capacity in the future, pig prices will gradually return to rational prices. What's more, the swine fever epidemic is not over yet. For newcomers, the current breeding risk is high, and newcomers are not supported to enter the market at this time.
