First of all, from the monthly global food price report, the meat index has been on the rise, reaching a record high in March.
The most obvious increase is the price of poultry meat.
Secondly, there are two main reasons that affect the price increase of poultry meat:
First, after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukrainian exports were once interrupted, which affected the decline in supply. Coupled with the rising protectionist sentiment in various countries, chicken exports began to tighten;
Second, avian flu is rampant in the northern hemisphere, and a large number of poultry have been culled, which makes the supply of poultry meat decline and the price rise.
Recently, the global chicken supply problem has escalated again.
First, bird flu broke out in many countries, and tens of millions of birds were culled.
In fact, since last year, some countries in Europe, Japan, South Korea and other places have experienced bird flu epidemics, resulting in a large number of poultry being culled and triggering market collection.
For example, in June last year165438+1October, after the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus was discovered in South Korea, it began to spread rapidly in a short time.
Until this year.
By April this year, the Canadian Food Inspection Bureau reported that four cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza had been found in Quebec, and epidemics also occurred in the United States, France, Japan and other countries.
After an outbreak of avian influenza in a chicken farm in Hokkaido, Japan, all 520,000 chickens were culled.
France also suffered the worst bird flu epidemic in history, with more than 1 000 cases reported, and about 8% of laying hens were culled.
According to relevant reports in the United States, since 20 15, the most serious bird flu epidemic has occurred on American farms this year. Up to now, there have been epidemics in about 24 States in the United States, and 38 million chickens have been culled.
Second, global chickens are "nervous" and prices are rising.
As the most consumed and always cheapest meat in the world, chicken is experiencing a wave of price increases.
Affected by inflation, trade protectionism and bird flu, chicken prices in many countries are rising.
The price of whole chicken in the United States has risen sharply, and the price has exceeded the new high since nearly 10. Many American residents claim that they can't afford chicken soon.
In order to save money, American residents began to look for other alternatives.
The price of chicken in Britain has also increased. Compared with last year, the price of a chicken has increased by 8%.
Some restaurants even consider removing chicken dishes from the menu.
Third, Malaysia issued a ban, and Singapore's "national food" was in a hurry.
In this case, many countries have further tightened the export of chicken like open food protectionism.
For example, in April this year, food prices in Malaysia reached the highest level since 20 17 years.
Therefore, in order to curb the increase in domestic chicken prices, it is announced that the export of 3.6 million chickens per month will be stopped from June 1 day.
This ban has caused "tension" in neighboring Singapore.
Chicken is the most consumed meat in Singapore, with per capita consumption exceeding 70 kg. In the Singapore market, more than 65,438+0/3 chicken comes from Malaysia, and the whole chicken is almost completely dependent on Malaysia's supply. Therefore, this ban has had a great impact on the food market in Singapore, and many consumers rushed to the supermarket to stock up on fresh chicken before the ban was implemented.
Hainan Chicken Rice, known as Singapore's national dish, may face a shortage of raw materials. Some hotel owners said they would raise the price of Hainan chicken rice, and even some hotels said they would close down.
In order to alleviate this crisis, Singapore is going to seek the import of frozen chicken from Brazil and other countries.
The data shows that the price of chicken in Singapore rose by 10.39% in April. According to the forecast, the price increase of chicken will continue to be between 4% and 6%.
However, contrary to the sharp increase in international chicken prices, domestic chicken prices are relatively stable, and domestic broiler production is growing steadily. It is unlikely that there will be a big fluctuation in the future.
