Naturally, another reason for the decline in pig prices is that fewer people eat pork. In the past, due to the high price of pork, customers' consumption orientation turned to beef, livestock meat and fish. Now that pork is cheap, the consumption of pork has been delayed due to the influence of everyone's health concept.
However, if there are more pigs, consumption will not be raised. Then we can only count on China to collect and store the stock market crash to raise the pig price. It is reported that at present, Hubei, Chongqing, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Jiangxi, Beijing and other places have started the storage and storage of reserve meat, and other regions will also open in the near future. What's even more exciting is that the Chinese merchant store announced that the central reserve meat storage and storage work was started, and the collection was 40,000 tons.
The price of pigs varies greatly. Many people sell at a price lower than 1 yuan, and the price of pigs in the same area varies greatly. Many people think that this is conducive to the transfer of pig prices; In the past, the price difference was not too big or obvious, but it has become obvious recently. This situation can only be caused by picking pigs and depressing prices; So, the question becomes, how long will the price be suppressed?
Many people ask how much it costs to buy a sow and raise a piglet. It shows that when pigs are cheap, there are many people waiting to buy them, just like the price of pigs behind, but unlike the group of people who didn't kill pigs years ago, these people are great gods; Therefore, the price has been reduced, some people suffer, and some people want to make money; When do you think it is appropriate to fatten pigs?
In fact, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has released data before, saying that the number of piglets born in June-July last year increased by 39% and 33% respectively, and the corresponding slaughter time in these two months was New Year's Day and Spring Festival. In other words, the pork supply was sufficient during the New Year's Day and Spring Festival. On the other hand, we all know that before the Spring Festival is the peak consumption season, so most farmers will hold down this time when arranging the slaughter time, hoping to use the peak consumption season to reduce the previous losses.
This is especially true for large pig enterprises, which began to actively slaughter, making the supply of live pigs in the market continue to improve. According to official data monitoring, the number of 5-month-old pigs in pig farms in Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen University increased by 25.9% and 27.5% respectively. According to the fattening time of about two months, the corresponding slaughter time is around the Spring Festival, so the amount of pigs slaughtered before and after the Spring Festival is very large.
