Recently, the double changes in China's grain prices and pig prices have aroused widespread concern, especially on December 21, the news about the "non-stop" of grain prices and the "deterioration" of pig prices has once again refreshed people's cognition. This change has a far-reaching impact on agricultural production and people's lives. This article will decipher this situation in detail, analyze the reasons behind it, and the impact on agriculture and residents.
First, we are concerned about the phenomenon of "falling food prices". Recently, domestic grain prices have shown a trend as a whole, especially corn and wheat. This phenomenon is closely related to the situation of domestic agricultural production and the situation of market supply and demand. With the improvement of China's agricultural production level, grain output has increased year by year, resulting in a relatively abundant grain in the market. In addition, food prices in the international market are also affected by a variety of factors, including global climate, international policies, etc., which make domestic food prices affected to a certain extent. The direct impact of this grain price is the reduction of farmers' economic returns, but it also helps to alleviate the cost of living of residents and improve the overall consumption level of society.
However, the price of grain** corresponds to the "deterioration" of the pig price situation. Recently, pig prices have continued to be the most popular, which has brought greater pressure to farmers and residents. This phenomenon is mainly due to the ongoing impact of the African swine fever outbreak. Since the outbreak of African swine fever in 2018, China's pig industry has suffered a huge impact, and the number of live pigs has decreased significantly, resulting in a shortage of pork in the market. At the same time, the African swine fever epidemic has led to an increase in the cost of pig farming, because pig farmers need to adopt stricter prevention and control measures, increasing the cost of feed, labor and other aspects. This makes the current pig price ** has become an irreversible trend, for residents, pork *** directly affects their daily living expenses.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, the changes in grain prices and pig prices have a certain impact on the stability of China's agricultural industry chain. Food prices** may stimulate farmers to reduce planting area, reduce the enthusiasm for agricultural production, and even affect the sustainable development of the agricultural industry chain. The price of pigs makes the cost of pork production for farmers rise, which affects the healthy development of the entire breeding industry. The contradiction between the two highlights the urgency of balancing agricultural supply and demand and adjusting the agricultural structure, and also highlights a series of problems facing China's agricultural field.
In this context, a series of measures need to be taken to guide the steady development of the agricultural industry. First of all, with regard to grain prices, we can improve the overall efficiency of agricultural products by adjusting the grain reserve policy and optimizing the agricultural structure, so as to ensure that the interests of peasants are not excessively affected. Secondly, for the first pig price, we can increase support for the breeding industry, promote scientific and technological innovation, improve breeding efficiency, and at the same time curb the spread of African swine fever epidemic through market supervision means. These measures need to be coordinated to ensure the stability and sustainable development of agricultural production.
For residents, there is a need for flexibility in their lives to cope with this double shock. The positive impact of food prices** on people's lives can be reflected in appropriate ways, such as saving money and improving quality of life through shopping. The pig price** may make residents more rational in choosing meat, can moderately increase the intake of other meats, maintain a reasonable dietary structure, and also contribute to a healthy life.
On the whole, behind the "non-stop" grain prices and the "deterioration" of pig prices on December 21 contain a series of problems in China's agricultural industry chain. It is necessary to take scientific and effective measures to guide the sustainable development of agriculture and ensure that the interests of farmers and residents are not excessively affected. At the same time, residents also need to respond rationally to fluctuations in the cost of living, adapt to this change in a flexible way, and maintain an optimistic attitude towards life. Only through the joint efforts of the whole society can we achieve the prosperity of agriculture and the better life of the people.
