Why is Han Niu so expensive?
The first reason is that South Korea's land area is small, and the area occupied by pastures is even smaller. As we all know, Korea is small and surrounded by the sea, so it has formed a country with fish and seafood as its main ingredients. Pasture is not the main industry, accounting for only 1% of the national area. In these areas, there are not many people who can support Han Niu, and things are scarce. In such a big environment, the beef unearthed locally is more precious.
The second reason is the high cost of feeding. The so-called high cost is manifested in the high requirements for feeding technology and feed. Han Niu is a "hybrid", a new breed of European and Korean cattle. The beef produced is snowflake-like, also called marbled meat, like Japanese cattle and cows. The status of "exquisite" is naturally different. In the process of feeding, the selection of high-quality feed has high technical requirements. Unlike beef cattle, which can be slaughtered in four or five months under the catalysis of some industrialization modes, Han Niu generally can only be listed after breeding for more than one year. Small farming area and high cost have naturally become the main reasons for the high price in Han Niu.
The third reason is the local protection measures for farmers in South Korea. Under the social background of rapid industrial development, agriculture is easily abandoned by the times. In order to protect the status of farmers and prevent them from becoming victims of agricultural reform, South Korea has taken corresponding support measures, not only giving farmers a lot of subsidies, but also restricting the import of foreign agricultural products, thus achieving the role of regulation. In addition, the Korean people also have a strong awareness of rights protection, and often see some spontaneous organizations boycotting imported food.
How much is a catty in Han Niu?
Korean beef is very expensive, about 150 ~ 200 yuan per catty. The average income of a family is 3.858 million won (about 23,000 yuan) a month, which is still relatively expensive, so we don't often eat "Han Niu" in our life. Han Niu refers to Korean beef and Korean beef. In Korean society, Han Niu is a symbol of famous property.
The price of beef in South Korea has soared, at-0/090 yuan per kilogram.
The price of pork and beef has always been the focus of general public. Recently, two pieces of news about the price of meat caused heated discussion. First, the price of pork in China has dropped for eight consecutive months. In September, the loss of pig farms (households) nationwide reached 76.7%. On the other hand, the news of soaring Korean meat prices is frequently searched in Weibo. This morning, the topic of "Korean one kilogram of beef 1090 yuan" was rushed to Weibo for the second hot search.
Kong Liang, head of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that according to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the slaughter of pigs by pig slaughtering enterprises above designated size in China increased by 60.9% from June to September, with a year-on-year increase of 95.2% in September. Since the end of June this year, pork prices have been falling for eight consecutive months, and pork prices have not rebounded in the past Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day consumption seasons. In the second week of June 5438+ 10, the average price of pork in the bazaar was 2 1.03 yuan per kilogram, which was 60.8% lower than that of June 65438+ 10 this year. In September, the loss of pig farms (households) nationwide reached 76.7%. "
According to "Xiaoyang Video" Weibo, recently, due to the global logistics crisis, the prices of pork belly and beef in South Korea have skyrocketed. In Korean supermarkets, the price of pork belly is 34,000 won per kilogram (about RMB 185 yuan), and the price of beef is 200,000 won per kilogram (about RMB 1090).
According to CCTV's Asia Today, "protein's inflation" has caused people in many Asian countries to complain. The tight global supply chain has caused the "food basket" of many countries to skyrocket. Korean beef is more than 600 yuan per catty, Japanese KFC doesn't sell French fries, and the price of Indian vegetables doubles. Japanese economists believe that "hyperinflation" is coming.
What does Han Niu mean?
Han Niu is a cross between European cattle and Korean cattle. Its maternal line is European cattle. This kind of beef is the most popular in Korea. Despite the high price, North Koreans prefer beef to cheap American beef. This question has made the United States and South Korea stubborn many times, because the former is better in quality and more suitable for Korean barbecue. Han Niu occupies an important position in Korean food culture, and Koreans usually eat Han Niu on festivals. Han Niu is also a Korean holiday gift for friends and family. Hengcheng County, gangwon, South Korea is the largest producer of Han Niu.
