China News Service, November 16th. On the 16th, Meng Wei, spokesperson of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the November press conference of the National Development and Reform Commission that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will pay close attention to the dynamics of the live pig market and continue to invest in the central pork reserve at an appropriate time. If necessary, the release will be further increased, and local regions will be guided to release local reserves simultaneously.

　　According to Meng Wei, since the second half of the year, domestic hog prices have generally fluctuated upwards, especially due to factors such as excessive pressure from some farmers to sell, secondary fattening, and increased market consumption during holidays. In early and mid-October, it once rose a lot.

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.

　　One is to increase investment and storage.

A total of 7 batches of central pork reserves have been released, and local governments have been urged to increase their efforts to release reserves simultaneously. Among them, the state and local governments have released a total of about 200,000 tons of pork reserves in September, and the number of single-month releases has reached the highest level in history. The price effectively guarantees the market supply.

　　The second is to guide farmers to sell normally.

Published information many times to guide farmers to take advantage of the trend to sell fattening pigs, not to blindly suppress the sale and second fattening, and avoid the risk of price fluctuations.

　　The third is to strengthen market supervision.

Guide large-scale breeding enterprises to take the lead in ensuring supply and price stability, and maintaining a normal pace of slaughter.

Interview some self-media that deliberately exaggerated the atmosphere of price increases to maintain normal market order.

At present, relevant control measures have achieved positive results, and the price of live pigs has dropped significantly recently.

　　Meng Wei said that for some time to come, although the pork market is still in the peak consumption season, the domestic stock of fertile sows, newborn piglets, and fattening pigs has rebounded for many consecutive months, and the market supply will increase accordingly; especially as monitored by the National Development and Reform Commission, Recently, the slaughtering rhythm of farmers tends to be normal, and the pigs that have been pressed and fattened in the early 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.

　　Meng Wei said that the National Development and Reform Commission will continue to strengthen market supervision with relevant departments, maintain normal market order, and promote the return of live pig prices to a reasonable range as soon as possible.
