It is probably unexpected that one of the most concerned topics in the year of the pig this year is the price of pork that continues to soar.This is not only a hot topic of discussion, but also an important issue for high -level attention, but also has been put on the government agenda several times.
China's pig price this year can be described as one price a day.Official data show that the price of pigs increased by 18.2%, 14.4%, 21.1%, and 27%from the month of April to July.One week from August 16th to 22nd alone, the average price of pork wholesale was 29.94 yuan per kilogram (RMB, the same below, S $ 5.81), an increase of 11%over the previous week, and 52.3%more expensive than the same period last year.
This means that the retail price of pork is higher.According to Chinese media reports, in Beijing's supermarkets, the retail price of pork in different parts has risen to 24 yuan to 70 yuan per kilogram.Calculated at a retail price of 40 yuan per kilogram, it takes 40,000 yuan to buy a ton of pork!
What is the concept of such a pig price?Based on the price of Chinese commodity disk surfaces, ordinary pork with one kg of 40 yuan can buy 6.5 kg of soybean oil, or 21 kg of corn, 11 kg of domestic soybean, 7 kg of sugar, 4 kg of apple, 65 kg of iron ore.
Pork is one of the most commonly purchased meat foods for Chinese people. The price is soaring, and consumers naturally call it hard, complaining that the pork is too expensive to eat.When the price was affordable earlier, the scenes of aunt snapped up pork in various places, and there were some people fighting for it.
But now, after pork becomes expensive, it becomes difficult to sell.The business of many pork stalls is sharply reduced or even lost. Some pork stalls collect the stalls early or temporarily temporarily rest, and some stall owners tease to sell beef to sell beef.
As a result, local governments have taken measures to try to ensure the stability of the pork market.Since the beginning of this year, 29 provinces such as Hubei, Anhui, Sichuan, and Fujian have launched a price subsidy linkage mechanism for people with economic difficulties and issued a total of 2 billion yuan to buy meat money.
Some places even sacrifice pork restrictions.For example, Fujian has stipulated that citizens must use their ID cards to buy meat.From the 1st of this month, Xiamen citizens can purchase pork agricultural products below 5%of the market price in the cheap store, and each person is limited to 2.5 kg each time.From September 6th, Putian citizens have to buy meat with their ID cards. Each person is limited to two kilograms. The newly stipulated time depends on the price trend of food.
Other places start from the supply side. For example, Sichuan Province releases pig nine to promote the production of pigs and ensure supply, including requiring localities to support the construction of pig farms, standardized farms and slaughterhouses.
At the central level, Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang presided over the executive meeting of the State Council last Wednesday (21st) to determine a series of measures to stabilize pig production and pork supply to stable prices.Two days before, when Li Keqiang inspected Heilongjiang Province, he also deliberately asked the price and sales situation in front of the pork stall in the vegetable market, which shows that high -level high -level emphasis on the problem of pig prices.
Chinese officials have attributed the surge in pig prices to the domestic African swine fever epidemic, which led to the tight market supply. However, there are also international public opinion that the more and more powerful Sino -US trade war is also one of the factors that boost price increases.Data show that Chinese buyers have canceled more than 4,500 tons of American pork orders from February to May this year, and they did not restore the purchase of American pork by 10,000 tons of American pork until earlier this month.Furthermore, American soybeans, which become more expensive due to the trade war, are also important sources of feed for the pig industry, which has prompted pig prices to a certain extent.
At the same time as the Sino -US trade war is constantly upgrading, China still has signed the largest pork order with the United States for seven weeks of pork this month in the case of 62%tariffs on American pork, showing that the problem of soaring pig prices has arrived.In the urgent stage.
It is true that pork is an indispensable important ingredient in the daily diet of the Chinese people. It accounts for more than 60 % of the meat consumption. If the price of pigs is out of control, it may affect the consumption of poultry meat and other alternative foods and further increase the overall price pressure.Moreover, pork is the largest single agricultural product in China. The number of pigs is more than half of the world, with an annual output value of 1.6 trillion yuan, and drives other industries of more than 30 trillion yuan.
Therefore, the stability of pig prices and market stability is not only about people's livelihood and social stability, but also the overall development of the national economy.At the moment when the intensity of the Sino -US trade war is increased, to ensure the stability of the domestic consumer market, calm the public's dissatisfaction with prices, and safeguard the interests of the country and enterprises. At the same time, it does not affect the overall development of the economy and society.Big test.
