China News Service, September 15. According to the official WeChat news of the National Development and Reform Commission on the 15th, recently, the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission organized some industry experts to hold a meeting to re-analyze, re-judgment, and listen to the supply and demand and price situation of the domestic live pig market. Experts' opinions and suggestions on the work of ensuring supply and price stability in the live pig market.
Experts participating in the meeting pointed out that after the country has strengthened reserve adjustment and information release guidance, the current rhythm of farms (households) is generally normal, and market transactions are more rational.
Expert analysis believes that from the perspective of market supply, the current inventory of fertile sows, newborn piglets, and fattening pigs is on the rise. In addition, the growth rate of fattening pigs is accelerated after the weather turns cold, and the frozen pork inventory of enterprises is still at a high level. Most of them will be supplied to the market within the year, and the supply of live pigs and pork markets will be guaranteed in the later period. From the perspective of market consumption, due to factors such as the slow recovery of the catering industry, the current domestic pork consumption is generally weaker than in previous years, and it is difficult to increase significantly in the short term.
Based on comprehensive research and judgment, domestic live pig and pork prices will generally run within a reasonable range for a period of time in the future, and it cannot be ruled out that some periods will fall back.
Experts suggest to further strengthen reserve adjustment, increase government pork reserves if necessary, to ensure market supply and price stability; strengthen market supervision, and severely crack down on some self-media deliberately exaggerating the atmosphere of price increases for the purpose of selling feed additives and veterinary drug products; Strengthen the guidance of expectations, guide the market to rationally trade, and prevent excessive pressure on the fence and reluctance to sell and secondary fattening to affect the market supply in stages, causing market prices to fluctuate greatly.
In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will continue to pay close attention to the dynamics of the live pig market with relevant departments, and take measures such as reserve adjustment and market supervision in a timely manner to ensure that the price of live pigs operates within a reasonable range and promote the long-term healthy development of the industry.
