Scientific and technological progress, bumper harvest of grain, large scale, large quantity, government subsidies and high domestic breeding costs. All these reasons can make the price of imported beef fall, but there is actually a misunderstanding here, that is, what we see is that the price of low-end market falls and the price of high-end beef market continues to rise.

Let's take a look at the reasons for the decline in beef prices: with the improvement of scientific and technological level, the survival rate of cattle is improved and the growth cycle is shortened, and the number of cattle is increased, so the price is reduced. In recent years, the world grain output is relatively good, and the breeding feed is sufficient, so the breeding cost and price will be reduced. There is also a wide area, large scale and high competitive pressure of foreign farms, which will lead to a decline in beef prices. The most direct is the government's economic subsidies. The government encourages aquaculture with money. The profits of subsidized enterprises will not decrease, and their competitiveness can be improved by lowering prices. So the price of beef in the low-end market has fallen.

Then let's take a look at the domestic reasons: there are few large-scale farms in China, which are basically self-employed or private enterprises, with low anti-risk ability, small scale and too low price to make a profit. In addition, there is no prairie in China like that in foreign countries, and breeding will consume a lot of food and feed, so the cost of breeding is high and the price is naturally high. Moreover, because of the small scale and small quantity of beef, the price will rise only if the supply is less than the demand. Moreover, the domestic pork price is very high, so the demand for beef as a pork substitute will increase. Under the condition that the demand increases and the original beef quantity remains unchanged, the domestic beef price will still rise.

Domestic beef has been rising, and foreign beef can take advantage of their low cost to seize the market. In addition, the eating habits abroad are different from those at home. Foreign countries basically eat steak, unlike China, where there are many ways to eat it. Therefore, they enjoy the good parts of beef themselves and export other parts at low prices, so the price of beef abroad has fallen. These reasons are the reasons for the decline in the price of imported beef in the low-end market. In fact, the price of high-end beef import market has not fallen, but has continued to rise.
