First, most pig farmers are in great pain. They are afraid of raising pigs. Why do you say that? From August, 2065438 to August, 2008, an unprecedented new type of swine fever, African swine fever, occurred in rural areas, which lasted for two years, causing pig farmers in rural areas and all people infected with African swine fever to lose their pigs in a cliff-like way. All the pigs were buried deep and treated without pollution, which led to the loss of blood, and some pig farmers were heavily in debt and suffered heavy losses. In addition, since 20 16, raising pigs has been banned in rural areas, which makes it impossible for rural pig farmers to continue raising pigs, resulting in many pig farmers losing their qualification to raise pigs and finding another way out. Therefore, these pig farmers who have been seriously injured and hit clearly know that raising pigs can make money now, but once bitten by snakes, they are still afraid of raising pigs. This is a common fear in rural areas and an important reason for the lack of pigs in the market.
Second, the current development of rural pig breeding is in a serious bottleneck period. As the above rural areas are seriously affected by African swine fever and the prohibition of raising pigs in rural areas, it has caused devastating losses of pigs in rural areas, resulting in a serious shortage of sows and piglets, and many pig farmers in rural areas have no pigs to raise so far. The development of rural pig breeding has entered the bottleneck period in an all-round way, which has seriously restricted rural pig breeding. The slow growth of rural pig stock, the slow recovery of pig production capacity and the serious shortage of pigs in the market are the important reasons for the current increase in pork prices in various places.
Third, the epidemic situation of swine fever in Africa has not been completely eliminated, and the potential crisis still exists. African swine fever swept across the northeast of China from 2065438 to August 2008. The injury lasted for two years, and it still exists and has not been eliminated. The existence of African swine fever is not only the enemy of pig industry everywhere, but also the potential crisis of pig industry. As long as the African swine fever epidemic exists, as long as the African swine fever vaccine and specific drugs do not appear, pig breeding will always face great challenges, and it is difficult to completely solve the problem of pig shortage in the market and reduce the prices of pigs and pork.
In short, at present, due to the shortage of live pigs in the market, pork is in short supply, the price has risen sharply, it is very expensive, and the pig bonus is huge and generous. After the baptism of African swine fever epidemic, many pig farmers have no pigs to raise and are unwilling to raise pigs. However, the development of pig raising in rural areas is slow, the stock increase is too slow, and the productivity recovery is insufficient, resulting in few pigs in the market.
