    Introduction: on the morning of October 10, Duan Zhaoyi, a pig farmer in Houan village, Banpodian Township, Huaxian County, called the reporter and told his frustration: "now we only sell 5.4 yuan for one kilogram of pigs here, and 9.2 yuan for one kilogram at this time last year Apart from the 6.5 yuan cost of raising one kilogram of pigs, 1.1 yuan will be paid for this kilogram Now I have another batch of pigs to go out of the market This is to sell one pig for the other I'm so worried that I haven't slept well for half a month What should I do now? " Recently, some telephone reporters like this have received calls every day For this reason, the reporter yesterday visited Dr Li Shaoyu, an animal husbandry expert from the Animal Husbandry Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences According to Dr Li, there are three main reasons for the sharp decline in pig prices: first, after the occurrence of Streptococcus suis event in Sichuan in early July, the growth rate of domestic market consumption demand slowed down significantly; second, after 17 consecutive months of profit peak from May 2003, the number of pig stocks increased dramatically, and the growth rate of pig stocks far exceeded the growth of consumer market The quantity and the quantity on hand far exceed the turning point of the balance of market supply and demand; thirdly, the international market demand dominated by Russia has changed, which directly affects the export of China's pork products Pigs lose money It's a little strange at first Now, the price of pigs has dropped from 9.2 yuan per kilogram before and after the Spring Festival to 5.4 yuan Most of the pigs on the market now start to feed when the market price is at the highest point The price of piglets and feed are very high It's no wonder that the pig farmers' high input and low output 'do not lose money Under the condition of market economy, we should follow the market rules, but the pig farmers who are in a weak position and mainly farmers can't bear the impact of the market How to maintain the independent, healthy and benign development of the industry in the market economy, and how to maintain the interests of farmers to the maximum extent and realize the stable income increase of farmers is a difficult problem for the development of pig industry in Henan province In this regard, Dr Li Shaoyu thinks that we should start from two aspects: cultivating leading enterprises of agricultural industrialization and expanding international market First of all, we should create a good competitive environment for the development of pig industry in Henan Province In recent two years, many small-scale pork processing enterprises have entered the market, resulting in disordered market competition and weakening international competitiveness Nowadays, market fluctuation not only affects the sustainable development of the whole pig industry in the province, but also damages the interests of many pig farmers Therefore, how to cultivate a group of leading agricultural industrialization enterprises with strong strength, strong anti risk ability and strong sense of social responsibility as soon as possible is the key to maintain the stability of the pork market and the whole industry in Henan Province Secondly, Henan pig enterprises should not only focus on the domestic market, but also the international market In addition, the state can also consider establishing a pig reserve system to curb the price of pigs that are falling sharply, so as to protect the healthy development of pig industry and the vital interests of farmers Due to the great impact of this fluctuation on the pig industry in our province, Dr Li Shaoyu thinks it will take at least one year for the pig price to return to the level of a year ago In this stage, the majority of farmers' friends should arrange their production reasonably according to their own economic strength.
