How to go after the pork price has been dropped by 30%?

Pork belly fell from 25 yuan to 19 yuan per catty, and ribs fell from 38 yuan to 28 yuan per catty.

Speaking of recent meat prices, Lv Fujiao, a pork business in the Liancheng Fresh Market in Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, said, Ruthless"
.

The drop in meat prices is due to the drop in pig prices
.

Pig prices continue to fall in a large range and a wide range of places 

Li Like, a villager in Shishan Village, Xiangshui Township, Yuhu District, Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, is a self-breeding and self-raising farmer.
He told reporters that his own fat pigs are generally raised to about 300 kilograms for slaughter
.

The Dongan Pig Breeding Cooperative in Yanjiang District, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province is a medium-scale breeding cooperative that produces more than 20,000 fat pigs per year
.

According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, from April 5 to April 11, 2021, the average purchase price of pigs from designated slaughter companies above designated size was 24.
10 yuan/kg, a decrease of 8.
4% month-on-month and 29.
6% year-on-year
.

However, many farmers and companies believe that the price of pigs will show a trend of "bottoming up" after entering May, especially in June
.

Large numbers, low consumption, industries expected to become cautious 

There is no doubt that one of the most important reasons for the decline in pig prices is the continuous recovery and gradual release of live pig production capacity
.

"In one sentence, there are more live pigs for slaughter
.

"Our frozen meat inventory has increased by more than 10% compared to the Spring Festival period
.

Nowadays, every farmer has several WeChat groups on his mobile phone to exchange information about pigs from all over the country
.
According to several farmers interviewed by the reporter, on the one hand, due to the complexity of the epidemic in some areas, some farmers lack sufficient confidence and measures to deal with them.
They are worried that the extension of the breeding cycle will increase the risk of prevention and control, so they choose to focus on the market
.
On the other hand, there are some breeding entities who judge that the recovery of live pig production capacity will lead to lower prices in the later stage, and they also choose to concentrate on slaughter
.

To prevent rising and falling, pork cannot always ride the "roller coaster" 

With the continuous recovery of production capacity, relative to the high prices of the previous two years, the decline in pig prices is the overall trend, but due to the bottom line of breeding costs, it is difficult to fall to the level before 2017
.
Industry insiders believe that pig prices affect the profits and losses of the breeding entities while affecting the money bags of the people.
They should be kept within a reasonable range as much as possible to reduce the "roller coaster" effect of the sharp rise and fall of pork prices
.

In addition to higher short-term feed and piglet costs, long-term breeding costs are also getting higher
.
Xiong Lianqiu calculated an account for the reporter: The cost of various hardware, environmental protection, manpower, and epidemic prevention for each breeding sow has reached 20,000 yuan
.
And the various costs that a fat pig needs to share for every kilogram of meat produced on average have risen from 6.
5 yuan in the past to 8.
5 yuan
.
"For example, I invested more than 50 million yuan in renovating the old farm and building a new farm, and these will eventually be included in the pig price
.
" Xiong Lianqiu said
.

"The more production capacity is restored, the more we must prevent the epidemic from rebounding
.
" He Zhiping, vice president of the Sichuan Academy of Animal Husbandry Sciences, believes that the ability to prevent and control the epidemic is the key to affecting the later trend of live pig and pork prices
.
"If the epidemic prevention does not cause major problems, the price will rebound, but it is impossible to reach the previous price of 40 yuan per kilogram.
About 30 yuan is a more reasonable range
.
"

Wu Shenshu pointed out that we must avoid recurring the vicious circle of "increased numbers brought environmental pressures, and environmental pressures led to reduced numbers"
.
"In the long run, we should promote the construction of a whole industry system with simultaneous development of breeding, slaughter and cold chain transportation, balance the comprehensive benefits of each link, and break the tradition of'raising pigs is better than killing pigs, and killing pigs is better than selling meat'.
The model truly realizes a win-win situation for pig practitioners and consumers,
" he said
