China News Service, October 14. According to the WeChat official account of the National Development and Reform Commission, recently, the Price Division of the National Development and Reform Commission recently organized some industry experts to analyze and judge the recent supply, demand and price situation of the live pig market.
Experts pointed out that from the historical data, excluding the extremely special years in which the production capacity of live pigs was severely impacted from 2019 to 2020, the average price of live pigs in the previous "pig cycles" before 2019 was about 21 yuan per kilogram, even if the cost increase factor in recent years is considered. , the current price is also at an excessively high level.
Experts believe that the price of live pigs has risen significantly recently, and the main reason is that some farmers have irrational behaviors such as excessive pressure on the fence and reluctance to sell and secondary fattening, which reduces the market supply.
At present, the domestic stock of fertile sows, newborn piglets, and fattening pigs has been increasing for many consecutive months, and there is no shortage of pigs in general.
Experts suggest that the price of live pigs is already in an excessively rising range, and the risk of price fluctuations has increased significantly. It is recommended that farmers take advantage of the trend to release fattening pigs, and "sack for safety" in a timely manner to avoid the risk of price fluctuations.
