    Since the beginning of this year, the price of pork has fallen to a large extent.


    Increased supply and reduced consumption, weaker chicken prices across the country

    The reporter saw in a large supermarket in Beijing that the broiler products here are very complete.


    Zhao Zongkai, the head of poultry sales at a supermarket in Beijing, said that the price of chicken generally dropped by 10%.


    According to Zhao Zongkai, the reason for the fluctuation of chicken prices is that in addition to the off-season of meat consumption in the summer, it is also related to the decline in pork prices, the weakening of the substitution effect of broiler products, and the increase in broiler production.


    Han Yuqiang, general manager of a broiler slaughter company in Dezhou City, Shandong Province, said that the inventory is now large, and the cold storage is full of 3,000 tons, which is a bit larger than last year


    Liu Jingzhi, Director of the Market Operation Department of the Department of Market Operation and Consumption Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce: The price of pork has been high before, and chicken breeding has accelerated due to its substitution


    According to monitoring by the Ministry of Commerce, the wholesale price of white striped chicken in 36 large and medium-sized cities across the country was 16.


    Shandong: Broiler production capacity remains high

    In fact, market price fluctuations of broiler chickens are closely related to their production and supply


    Liu Jinguo is the person in charge of a large broiler farm in Ningjin County, Dezhou, Shandong.


    The reporter learned that the price of broiler chickens has fallen recently, the enthusiasm of farmers for replenishment has fallen, and the price of chicken fry has also dropped significantly


    Fang Beiping, the person in charge of a certain poultry business hatchery in Yantai City, Shandong Province, said that the chicken fry in May was about RMB 4.


    The stock of breeders increases and chicken prices are expected to continue to be weak

    During the interview, the reporter found that in addition to the high production capacity of broiler chickens, the production capacity of breeder chickens at the top of the industry chain has also expanded significantly.


    It is understood that since the fourth quarter of 2019, driven by the market, the broiler production capacity has expanded rapidly, ensuring that the broiler industry maintains a high production capacity in 2021.


    Zhang Li, researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Information, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences: As a result of the phased oversupply situation, the prices of chicken fry and chicken are relatively low now


    Liu Jingzhi, Director of the Market Operation Division of the Department of Market Operation and Consumption Promotion of the Ministry of Commerce: Now is the off-season, with relatively little market consumption and sufficient supply, the overall chicken price will remain relatively weak
