Xiamen pork prices fall back shortly before five years without worrying about price increases

Although the Jiaxing City Bureau of Agriculture and Economics emphasized in particular that “no live pig epidemic has occurred at present,” the salvaged and salvaged pigs have been treated innocently, and netizens still questioned whether a large number of dead pigs were “carried down” or related to high-mortality pig disease. Pig disease is often accompanied by a sharp increase in meat prices.

Recently, “Smog” and “Dead Pig” pushed Beijing and Shanghai to the cusp of Huangpu River's rushing drift of thousands of dead pigs. The continued “fermentation” of Jiaxing pigs made the pigs once again the most affected. One of the topics that netizens are concerned about. Facing media and netizens' questions, Jiaxing City Bureau of Agriculture and Economics responded on Weibo. Since the beginning of this year, Jiaxing has suffered 70,000 live pigs because of breeding conditions, breeding techniques, and climate and other factors.

Will the death of a large number of live pigs become the beginning of another wave of "pork expensive?" Is there any possibility that "dead pork" may flow to our table? Yesterday, the reporter visited the market with these problems and interviewed people in the industry, farmers, and related departments.

Although 600,000 pigs will be slaughtered across the country, the Jiaxing Bureau of Agriculture and Economics has emphasized that “no live pigs have occurred at present,” and the salvaged and collected pigs have been treated innocently. Internet users still doubt that a large number of dead pigs are “carriage” or High mortality is related to swine disease. Pig disease is often accompanied by a sharp increase in meat prices. However, the reporter visited the market and found that the current price of pork in our city fell to a low point in farmers' markets and supermarkets. The price of pork was only 14 yuan to 15 yuan per catty, down from 20-24 yuan per catty at the peak of last year. 2-3 into. In the university road market, a brand pork salesman told reporters that the price of pork has been declining since the Spring Festival, and it has fallen almost every day. The price of 14 yuan per catty is even lower than when the global economic crisis was five years ago.

Why is there a lot of dead pigs in the field, but pig prices have not risen? “Because the situation of hog farming in some areas will not affect the supply chain of pigs in the country.” Li Xingxing, president of the Xiamen Animal Husbandry Association, told reporters that the epidemic of swine broke out on a small scale every year, even though a city has been dead for more than two months. The 70,000 pigs appear to be very large, but from the perspective of the national pork supply chain, the 70,000 live pigs that died were only a fraction of the total. Li Mingxing said that Chinese people have a soft spot for pork. On average, every two people eat a pig each year. Because of the large market demand, the pig breeding industry can be described as spreading all over the country. This year, 600 million pigs will be slaughtered nationwide. Therefore, a city that has died 70,000 pigs will not hinder the overall supply of the country, so it will not affect the supply of live pigs in Xiamen in the future and there is no need to worry about price increases.

The purchase price dropped back to the "6-yuan era"

As a purchaser who specifically contacted the purchaser of the live pigs, Chen Chenyi came to the office and read the daily live pig purchase price report as usual, and then contacted farmers in Xiamen, Zhangzhou, and Longyan to place orders. Yesterday, live pig purchase price Has fallen to more than 6 yuan per catty, Chen said that the previous two years, the highest purchase price of live pigs had reached 10.5 yuan per catty. Suddenly returning to the "6-year era", he had a "crossing" feeling.

Currently, Li Xing, general manager of Shenzhen Kandall Group's Muxing Industrial Co., Ltd. believes that the current sluggish pig price is mainly due to oversupply of live pigs. Currently, there are more than 400 million hogs in the column, including 50 million sows.
