China News Service, July 14th, the Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference on the 14th. A reporter asked a question at the meeting: According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the National Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 2.5% year-on-year in June. The price of pork is on the rise. What is the current pork supply situation of the Ministry of Commerce?
Do you have some monitoring data?
What measures does the Ministry of Commerce take to ensure stable supply and price in the pork market?
Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shu Jueting said that since mid-June, pork prices have risen due to multiple factors.
At present, the production capacity of live pigs is within a normal and reasonable range. At the end of May, there were 41.92 million breeding sows in the country, and the pork market supply was generally sufficient.
The Ministry of Commerce will work with relevant departments to actively take measures to ensure supply and price stability in the pork market: First, continue to strengthen the monitoring of the meat market, release information such as supply, demand, and prices in a timely manner, stabilize market expectations, and maintain the smooth operation of the market.
The second is to combine the market situation, give full play to the adjustment function of pork reserves, and stabilize the pork market.
The third is to guide some areas affected by the epidemic to strengthen the connection between production and sales, increase market supply, and do a good job in ensuring residents' meat consumption.
