Recently, pig prices have experienced a round of "rocket-like" ** increases that have exceeded expectations. This trend is mainly influenced by a combination of the following factors.
First of all, slaughtering companies have a strong demand for stocking up before the year. Recently, the operating rate of slaughterhouses has increased significantly, and the average daily slaughter volume has also shown a high level, which has greatly supported the price of pigs.
Secondly, the logistics costs have risen due to bad weather. Due to the influence of rain and snow in Northeast China, the transportation cost of standard pigs has increased significantly, and the standard pigs transferred from South China to East China are also facing the problem of precipitation, and the difficulty of transportation has increased. This factor has further pushed up pig prices.
In addition, pig diseases in East China and Central China are more serious, and pork ** is relatively insufficient. Since the fourth quarter of last year, pig prices have been sluggish, farmers have generally lost money, and the passive slaughter mentality is higher, resulting in a significant shortage of local ** at this stage, and slaughtering enterprises must therefore increase the range of price increases to maintain a stable operating rate.
Due to the strong flavor of the year, the realization of good consumption and the impact of regional "lack of pigs", pig prices have exceeded expectations.
However, after the glitz of pig prices, farmers are facing new tests. Specifically, it is manifested in the following aspects.
First of all, farmers in remote areas are hampered by logistics and transportation. Due to the impact of bad weather, the location of farmers is remote, and logistics and transportation are hindered, resulting in the difficulty of some farmers to slaughter, unable to send pigs to the market in time, and can only sigh.
Secondly, pig prices in the Northeast and South China are relatively low. Due to the impact of personnel outflow and aging, the increase in local consumption in Northeast China is poor, and the pressure of surplus is also greater, and it is difficult for farmers to sell. Although South China is less affected by the epidemic, the local breeding group is more prominent, and the pressure is too great. At the same time, with the outflow of migrant workers and the lack of support for urban consumption, it is also difficult for farmers to ideal pork.
Finally, the year is approaching, and the time for farmers to slaughter is urgent. Slaughterhouses have a limited time to stock up on stock, and there are only a few days before slaughterhouses stop collecting. Farmers must slaughter the pigs on the farm before the Spring Festival, but under the condition of bad weather and unsatisfactory pig prices, it is difficult for some farmers to slaughter. According to the latest news, pig prices may enter the stage of rising and falling, which is bound to exacerbate the phenomenon of concentrated selling by farmers, and some farmers are facing the pressure of "finding a car".
The price of pigs has allowed farmers to see the vitality, however, there are also many challenges and tests hidden behind this **. From logistical blockages to surpluses to pork slaughter in a limited time, farmers must react at short notice to cope with these changes. They need to pay attention to the weather, develop a slaughter plan, and work with slaughterhouses to ensure that the benefits of pig prices are maximized. At the same time, ** and relevant departments should also increase support and provide necessary help and guidance to help farmers through this critical period.
For consumers, the ** pig price also means pressure. During the Spring Festival, pork is an important part of the table, and it may have a certain impact on people's consumption habits. Therefore, we also need to find other alternatives and explore more reasonable ways of meat consumption to balance supply and demand and maintain market stability.
In general, the increase in pig prices has brought new challenges and opportunities to both farmers and consumers. We need to work together to find a solution to the problem and achieve a stable development of the pork market.
