Although it is the off-season, my country's beef production is much less this year. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, less beef is imported. This thing is more expensive when it is rare. If there is less of it, the price will be more expensive. Just like pig heads, the price of pork has been rising because there is less pork production. 01. Beef prices are rising

The price of beef has been rising for 10 consecutive weeks. As of the third week of August, the national average beef price was 83.66 yuan/kg, an increase of 0.2 from the previous week and an increase of 14.4 from August last year. In provinces where beef is more expensive, such as Shanghai and Fujian, the price of one kilogram of beef reaches 97.83 yuan. Even the wholesale price of beef is as high as 73.24 yuan per kilogram. It seems that beef freedom will no longer be possible in the future. 02. Beef production decreases and imports decrease

Although summer is the off-season for beef, beef production this year is much less. Just look at the data and you will know that in the first half of this year, 18.79 million beef cattle were slaughtered, a decrease of 390,000 from the previous year. Beef production was 2.78 million tons, a decrease of 100,000 tons! A lot of meat in our country used to be imported. However, this year due to the epidemic, we have suspended the import of products from 23 overseas meat production companies including Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Brazil. Therefore, the amount of beef itself is much less, and the price naturally rises. 03. The impact of rising pork prices

Pork prices have been rising for a long time. Because pork has risen, many people have turned to beef as a substitute. Therefore, the sales volume and price of beef have also been driven up. 04. What should I do if I can’t afford beef?

In fact, although the price of beef has increased, most people can still afford it. You can't eat beef every day, just once a week is enough. Moreover, eating less meat is also good for your health. Many people are in poor health because they eat too much meat. They just take advantage of this opportunity to eat less meat and more vegetables.
