Why was pork so expensive before?

1. Supply exceeds demand, pork prices will be high, and supply exceeds demand, pork prices will be low.

2. Feed cost

Feed cost directly affects the cost of raising pigs. If the cost of raising pigs in large-scale pig farms increases, it will inevitably be passed on to consumers who buy meat.

3. Season

Usually, summer is the off-season of pork consumption, while the consumption demand in autumn and winter is obviously better than that in summer. Therefore, the price of pork will definitely rise in autumn and winter.

4. Policy

That is, the state's regulatory policies to stabilize pork prices, such as putting in reserve meat.

5. Pig production capacity

Two years ago, because of the African swine fever epidemic, the pig production capacity was very low, so the pork price was very expensive. At present, the production capacity of live pigs is at a reasonable level, and pork prices do not have the basis for a sharp rise.
