I am not very clear about the specific situation in Huaihua, and I have only eaten pork and never seen pigs running away. However, judging from the recent overall economic situation of the country and the general economic laws, I think the following are Some suggestions.
1. Inflation and meat prices have increased recently. It is well known that the price of pork is rising due to inflation. But at the same time, feed and other cost prices are rising. This is the first risk you have to bear. We can say that every inflation has its cycle. It does not mean that pork will always be expensive. Due to the law of value, prices revolve around value. It moves up and down, so after a few months of pig slaughter, the price of pork in the market will inevitably drop, which will create certain risks, that is, whether the cost can be recovered and the expected profit can be achieved. Therefore, I suggest not to follow the trend. Following the trend will only fail to keep up with market changes.
2. For state subsidies: In order to ensure market supply, alleviate inflationary pressure, and ensure long-term food supply security, the state encourages pig breeding, such as insurance, subsidies, and disease prevention. This will mitigate farming risks to some extent. That is to reduce unnecessary losses. So from this point of view, the profit margin of pig breeding will increase to a certain extent.
So, my suggestion is that if you are a small farmer, then you will have problems in pig breeding that cannot meet the standardization of large slaughterhouses, that is, pig quality issues, and disease prevention. Due to the epidemic problem, this may lead to the inability to sell pigs, because as far as I know, individuals in my country do not have the right to slaughter pigs. If you really want to raise pigs instead of doing it on impulse, I suggest you strengthen technology and infrastructure to make pigs more popular. Standardization and scale of breeding reduce risks and increase profits.
Second, strengthen contact with the market. It is best to contact the slaughterhouse before breeding, so as to meet his standards and reduce sales risks. Because there is no futures trading for pork, we can only learn from other large pig farms. Reduce risk.
Third, if you are impulsive, then there will be many people who agree with you. After a few months, a large number of pigs will be sold, causing the price of pigs to plummet after a few months. Your cost is that the current feed, etc. are indeed in the inflation period, and the price is relatively high, so it will inevitably lead to making ends meet, or not achieving expected returns. The best example is that in the year before the current pork price increase, a large number of farmers slaughtered a large number of pigs to avoid risks due to the inability to make profits and epidemic diseases, which ultimately led to a reduction in pork supply, which was too late to regret. So be proactive and don’t follow the trend. If you do this on impulse, you should think about it yourself.
Fourthly, special breeding may bring its own advantages into play. This may be risky, but it can be restrained to a certain extent through scale and standardization, so as to target market segments that have not yet been paid attention to, or that have received little attention. Avoid market risks.
Of course these are just suggestions, you still have to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
