Since June this year, the price of fat pigs in China has continued to rise, especially in July. Over the past month or so, the retail price of pork has risen from 7 yuan to 17 yuan, and some areas have surpassed 20 yuan. It is usually the pork retailers who operate large-scale breeding enterprises, slaughtering enterprises and vegetable markets that push up the price of pork. Large-scale aquaculture enterprises use the accumulated fat pigs to manipulate the sales of fat pigs, resulting in the illusion that there are no fat pigs in the sales market. Slaughtering enterprises in various places have already formed monopoly enterprises. Because there is only one slaughterhouse in a place, they and pork retailers speculate on the high price of pigs, resulting in a price of pork a day. Epidemic prevention and control, not long ago, in order to abide by the death prevention order, all parts of the country increased the number of pigs to be slaughtered, which led to the transportation of pigs being blocked. It is not excluded that unscrupulous businessmen affected the normal pork price sales market.

Although the market economy system, floating price, supply and demand are limited by the price leverage effect, pork price, as the main push of people's livelihood project, involves the dining table of every household, and the people are very sensitive to the rise of pork price. China's Ministry of Commerce has been promoting the storage of frozen meat to curb the price of pork and give people a reassurance. Pig prices are abundant, and there is no obvious change in imports. Moreover, under the premise of low demand, it suddenly rises sharply, and it is also difficult to be suppressed. It is inevitable that people feel that someone is rubbing up the price of pigs.

We can't blame some people for rubbing up the pig price, because in the first half of the year, both the breeding enterprises and investors lost their blood and there were not many assets to use. Moreover, in the first half of the year, it was difficult to make money in individual stocks and futures trading. In July, the price of pigs suddenly soared, and even rose in some areas 12- 13 yuan. In such a good market situation, why do speculators let go? Naturally, they want to push up the price of pigs. Because the supply of pork is less now, due to the low price in the early stage, many farms continue to reduce the scale of operation and the number of stocks, which immediately leads to insufficient market demand. In addition, the market demand has not changed, so the price will naturally rise at this time. This is not driven by anyone, but the situation of market rules.

Not only pork, but also other goods. In the case of oversupply, the price will definitely decrease, and in the case of high demand, there is no doubt that the price will increase. Nothing can change the wheel of this market law. After the epidemic situation in COVID-19 has been well controlled, the demand of customers all over the country has increased, hotels, restaurants and catering industries have reopened, and daily life in all parts of the country has gradually recovered, further promoting economic consumption. Since the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war, the supply of pig feed raw materials such as corn has been insufficient all over the country, and the prices of raw materials imported from abroad have risen. Coupled with the increase in logistics costs, pig production has been unable to meet the demand. The rise of pork in all parts of the country is mostly caused by the imbalance of the sales market. Not only has the price of pork gone up, but most of the daily necessities have gone up.
