Pork prices have shown signs of rising since last year. Last year, due to African swine fever, pork prices suddenly rose until an epidemic occurred. There are three reasons why pork prices have risen so fast this time. First, the supply of live pigs is tight. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the state has strictly controlled and many pig farms have been forced to close down. During that time, pork prices also skyrocketed. Many people said that they could not afford to eat pork, and a large number of pigs were hoarded. During this period, the pork was consumed, and they had to transport piglets from outside. At present, the domestic pig allocation range is generally within 300 kilometers, and it takes a period of time for breeding, which leads to skyrocketing prices. Moreover, compared with last year, the stock and the number of fertile sows have decreased, mainly to prevent and control African swine fever and reduce the breeding density. Second, the market demand is large. With the gradual easing of the epidemic, the catering industry and schools began to resume classes, and the demand for pork increased. And caught up with the traditional festival Dragon Boat Festival in China, the demand for pork increased greatly. When the market is in short supply, the price increase is the inevitable result. Third, there has been a lot of rain in the south recently, which has affected the deployment of pigs. According to media reports, many places in the south suffered from heavy rainfall, and the city was seriously waterlogged, and the traffic was also greatly affected. Road collapse and debris flow occurred in many places, which seriously affected the deployment and transportation of pigs. Generally speaking, the increase in pork prices is also due to the increase in the price of live pigs. Chen Yanjie, an agricultural product analyst at Xinhu Futures, said that the most fundamental reason for the rebound in pork prices was the tight supply of live pigs in China.

Zhuo Chuang, what will be the trend of pork price in the future? Zhuo Chuang information pig industry analysts said that the supply of pigs was still tight in July, but in August-165438+ 10, the effect of pig production will gradually appear, the supply of pigs will gradually increase to catch up with market demand, and the price of pork may decline.
