Many people know that Japanese beef is very famous, and besides beef, chicken is actually one of the most eaten meats in Japanese life. Moreover, compared with beef, the price of chicken is obviously more in line with the daily needs of ordinary families, so this kind of meat occupies a very important position in the Japanese diet. However, the price of this cheap meat has gone up in Japan, which surprised many people. However, considering the actual situation there, you will find that the price increase of chicken is inevitable. Affected by avian influenza in Japan, the supply of chicken has become a problem, which has become an important factor affecting its price increase. However, the overall situation of COVID-19 epidemic in Japan led to the decrease of imported chicken, which made it more difficult for chicken which was already in short supply. The popularity of chicken among the people has led to a great demand. In the case of short supply, the price increase of chicken has become an inevitable trend. My analysis of the high price of Japanese meat is as follows.

First, the impact of bird flu The outbreak of bird flu is difficult to control in a short time, and once a case of bird flu is found in an area, other healthy chickens in the area will be restricted to a certain extent. In this way, consumers can't buy products that were originally the main chicken supply area, which will naturally interrupt the supply of meat, and then the price will continue to rise. Although the relevant departments have taken very rapid measures to deal with bird flu and culled a large number of chickens, it is still very difficult to completely control the epidemic, so the value of Japanese chicken will remain at a high level for some time.

Second, the epidemic has led to a decrease in imported chickens. Originally, Japan could make up for the shortage of domestic supply by importing chicken, but due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, Japan is very cautious about importing meat, an important food. Because of meat imports, it is not uncommon for COVID-19 to spread internationally. In this case, strict control is needed.

Chicken is too popular among people. Every place has different lifestyles and eating habits. These things are gradually accumulated in the long historical development process, so it is difficult to change. Because Japanese people love chicken so much, it is difficult for them to find a substitute after the price of chicken rises rapidly. Therefore, even if the cost of buying chicken increases, many Japanese will choose to continue to buy it.

Do you know any other reasons for the increase in Japanese chicken prices?
