Why is supermarket pork cheaper than wet markets?
In modern society, supermarkets have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Compared with the wet market, the supermarket has a richer variety of goods and a more comfortable shopping environment. However, many people find that pork** in supermarkets tends to be cheaper than in wet markets. So, what exactly is the reason for this?This article will analyze the following aspects.
1.Differences in sourcing channels.
There is a big difference between the pork procurement channels in supermarkets and wet markets. Supermarkets often have long-term relationships with large farms or wholesalers to source pork directly from the source. In this way, supermarkets can reduce the cost of intermediate links, thus making pork ** cheaper. The pork merchants in the vegetable market are usually self-employed or small businesses, they need to purchase from multiple channels, there are more intermediate links, and the cost is relatively high, so the pork is also relatively high.
2.Economies of scale.
Supermarkets are often able to enjoy lower wholesale prices due to their large size and higher sales**. In addition, supermarkets can also achieve bulk discounts through large purchases, further reducing costs. The scale of pork sales in the vegetable market is relatively small, and these discounts cannot be enjoyed, so the pork ** is relatively high.
3.Differences in operating costs.
Supermarkets have relatively low operating costs. First of all, the rent of supermarkets is usually lower than that of wet markets, because supermarkets are usually located in commercial or residential areas of cities, and the rent is relatively high. Wet markets, on the other hand, are mostly located in the old or suburban areas of the city, and the rents are relatively low. Secondly, supermarkets can reduce inventory costs and transportation costs through a modern logistics management system. Pork traders in the wet market need to bear higher inventory and transportation costs. Finally, supermarkets can reduce labor costs through large-scale procurement and unified distribution. Pork traders in the wet market need to hire more staff to maintain their business, and the labor cost is relatively high.
4.* Impact of the event.
In order to attract more consumers, supermarkets will regularly carry out various ** activities, such as full reduction, discounts, etc. These activities tend to lead to a further reduction in pork**. The pork merchants in the vegetable market are relatively high due to the lack of unified activities.
To sum up, the reason why supermarket pork is cheaper than the vegetable market is mainly due to many reasons such as procurement channels, scale effects, operating costs and activities. Of course, when we buy pork, we also need to pay attention to the quality and safety of pork to ensure our own health.
