What is the reason for the rise in pork prices caused by the recovery of the pork market?

The first reason is that near the end of the year, the slaughter amount of pigs in large-scale farms and farmers decreased, and the enthusiasm for slaughter was not high. To put it bluntly, pigs are not big enough to sell, and farms are more willing to keep them for a while, so the enthusiasm for slaughter is naturally not high.

The second reason is the weather, which has recently cooled down all over the country? Especially in the north, heavy snow covers, which leads to poor transportation and tight supply.

The third reason is that pork consumption has increased near the end of the year. New Year's Day and Spring Festival are the traditional peak seasons for pork consumption. In addition to eating now, we should also consume pork such as bacon and sausage to prepare for the future, which will lead to an increase in overall market consumption. Influenced by the traditional peak season. Since winter, especially after a few cold days, consumers are used to curing bacon and filling sausages in both rural and urban areas, which requires a lot of pork. In this way, pork sales in various places will increase exponentially. Therefore, this reason leads to the shortage of live pigs and the increase of pork supply gap, which is the main reason for the increase in pork prices.

The fourth reason is the epidemic. In the past two years, the supply of pork in our country has been insufficient, so we have greatly increased the import demand of pork. However, due to the COVID-19 epidemic in June 5438+065438+1October, 2020, China suspended the import of related products from 99 enterprises in 20 countries. To put it bluntly, the amount of imported supplements has also decreased. At the same time, the discovery of COVID-19 in the imported cold chain has also caused consumers to worry about the existence of COVID-19 in imported cold chain pork, so the desire to buy imported pork has also decreased, and the consumption of domestic pork has increased. However, domestic supply has also slowed down recently.

For these four reasons, supply decreases and demand increases. The superposition of various factors led to the rise of pork prices again. So when can the price of pork come down? Judging from the current situation, it will take a long time for pig breeding after the Spring Festival, and the import has temporarily encountered problems, which can not make up for the vacant domestic market in a short time. I'm afraid it will remain at a high level from now until the Spring Festival.
