What is the reason why the price of mutton has risen for nine consecutive years?

The price of mutton has reached a new high again, and the price of mutton in many supermarkets is approaching 50 yuan, which really makes people sigh. You can hardly eat meat. The price of mutton has risen instead of falling, which is actually the inevitable result of market development.

1, the source of mutton supply decreased.

According to the adjustment of many local policies, many mutton farmers give up this industry and invest in pork or beef instead. The main reason is that raising sheep requires high space, and many farmers are free-range, which causes great damage to local vegetation. While raising pigs is relatively concentrated, it can also process and produce feed, which is more convenient and more profitable than raising other livestock, resulting in a significant reduction in the output of mutton resources itself.

2. Increased market demand

First, people's eating habits, many people think that mutton is better for cold winter, so after entering winter, the number of people who choose mutton dishes or eat shabu-shabu has increased greatly, resulting in a sharp increase in this demand than usual. Secondly, under the influence of traditional festivals, every traditional New Year's Day and New Year's Day, many families will buy a large amount of grain reserves for their own consumption or entertainment, and this purchase has doubled. Third, the external environment, when supply and demand were unbalanced in the past, we would choose imported mutton to meet people's daily life. However, due to the epidemic situation, many imported cold chain foods were affected to varying degrees and stopped importing. These factors lead to a large consumption of mutton, which is in short supply. Under the natural adjustment of the market, the price of mutton will naturally rise, and the price has been rising.

3. Future price trends

According to the calculation of the Ministry of Agriculture and the commercial department, the price of mutton will not decrease obviously for the time being, and even increase, which is also the result of market regulation and there is no way to avoid it. As ordinary people, we can choose other meats to supplement.

In fact, this situation will become more and more obvious, and many farmers will resume raising sheep, which is the basic law of market development.
