On November 16, the National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference.
Meng Wei, spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that since the second half of the year, domestic hog prices have generally fluctuated upwards, especially due to factors such as excessive pressure from farmers to sell, secondary fattening, and increased market consumption during holidays. many.
In order to do a good job in ensuring supply and stabilizing prices in the live pig market, the National Development and Reform Commission and relevant departments quickly adopted a series of control measures.
At present, relevant control measures have achieved positive results, and the price of live pigs has dropped significantly recently.
For some time to come, although the pork market is still in the peak consumption season, the number of breeding sows, newborn piglets, and fattening pigs in China has risen for several consecutive months, and the market supply will increase accordingly; especially we have monitored that the recent pace of slaughter by farmers It has become normal, and the live pigs that have been pressed and fattened in the previous stage have also begun to be slaughtered one after another, which will further increase the market supply.
The overall judgment is that the supply of hogs and pork in the market will be guaranteed for a period of time in the future, and the price is expected to remain relatively stable, and it is difficult to see a sharp increase.
