In the first half of last year, the price of eggs plummeted all the way, but after entering mid-July, it was obvious that the price of eggs rose a lot.
Egg is a kind of egg food that people often eat in daily life, and the overall market demand is still very large, so its price has always been the focus of public attention.
In the first half of last year, the price of eggs plummeted all the way, but after entering mid-July, it was obvious that the price of eggs rose a lot.
Statistics show that, as of July 29th, the average price of eggs in major producing areas in China rose to 3.99 yuan/kg, up 1.6 1 yuan/kg from the beginning of the month, with a cumulative increase of 67.65%, especially in the later period, with a daily increase of 0.2-0.3 yuan/kg in some areas.
So what is the reason for the increase in egg prices? Let's get to know each other.
Reasons for the rise in egg prices
During June 5438+0 and July-August, it was the dog days of high temperature, sultry and high humidity.
This also has many effects on the egg production of hens. High temperature is not conducive to hens laying eggs, resulting in a general decrease in the supply of eggs in the market and an increase in prices.
2. Pork prices continue to rise, and more people turn pork consumption to eggs.
Compared with more than 30 yuan a catty of pork, the price of eggs is much cheaper than pork.
Therefore, pork substitutes such as eggs have risen rapidly, leading to an increase in egg prices.
3. On the whole, the poultry industry is depressed this year, and the price of broilers has fallen sharply, and many farmers have suffered heavy losses.
However, the current increase in egg prices has led to more people hoarding eggs, and the number of eggs sold has decreased.
The hot summer is the off-season of laying eggs, and the supply of eggs is tight. Moreover, because eggs are not conducive to transportation, the price of eggs will be higher in some places with fewer breeding areas.
At the same time, in those places that rely more on foreign exports, the price of eggs will rise even faster.
Will the price of subsequent eggs rise?
Judging from the current market situation, the main contract of eggs in the domestic futures market fell on August 3, but the unit price in the spot market still maintained an upward trend. The price of fresh eggs in wholesale markets all over the country generally rose, and the price of eggs in some large wholesale markets in Beijing and Shanghai rose by 0.2-0.5 yuan/kg compared with the previous day.
However, corn prices continue to rise, the cost of breeding increases, farmers' willingness to raise prices remains strong, and there is no inventory pressure.
Follow-up with the arrival of beginning of autumn, the weather gradually turned cold, and the egg production of broilers around the country will also increase rapidly, and the price will often start to decrease after autumn.
Therefore, it is expected that the price of eggs will still rise in the short term, but it will not continue to rise sharply.
At present, the price of eggs has risen explosively. Except for parts of Northeast China and Hebei Province, most other producing areas have risen above 4 yuan/kg, and laying hens have fully entered a profitable state.
Therefore, it is suggested that all laying hens should seize the right opportunity to sell before the price adjustment in autumn.
