Since mid-October, the "vegetable basket" has begun to rise, and the prices of vegetables, rice, flour, oil, and meat are all rising. However, with the official regulation, the "vegetable basket" began to decline in mid-November, and now the market for fish, meat, eggs, etc. has also begun to decline. Let's take a look.

01. Fish prices fell collectively

Starting from September, fish prices began to plummet. However, after mid-October, as vegetable prices rose, people began to pay more attention to conventional fish. As consumer demand increases, fish prices also rise. However, as market consumption has recently returned to normal, fish prices have fallen again.

For example, California bass dropped by 1-1.5 yuan/catty in a week. For example, the Tangkou price of 6 taels in Foshan is 10 yuan per catty, and the price in 8 taels or more is 10.7-11 yuan/catty; in Wuhan, the price in Wuhan is 11 yuan/catty in 8 liang or more; and the price in Sichuan is 13 yuan per catty for 9 liang or more. . The decline in its market price is also due to the recent increase in fish rot and body diseases, which has reduced the purchase willingness of merchants.

Snakehead fish has also suffered a relatively large decline recently. With the end of "Double 11", the market demand for snakehead fillets has weakened, and it has dropped by about 1.5-2 yuan in a week. Among them, the price of fish weighing 1-2 kilograms is 7-7.5 yuan/catty, and the purchase price of the processing factory is even cheaper, at 7-7.2 yuan/catty. Due to lower sales, middlemen are afraid to increase their purchases, so fish prices have fallen.

Yellow catfish is no exception. Affected by the cold wave in early November, many fish ponds have recently experienced an increase in diseases and dead fish. Soon, the next cold wave will come again, fish farmers will speed up sales, and middlemen will take the opportunity to lower prices, causing fish prices to fall.

Nowadays, the price of 4 taels of fish in Foshan is 10 yuan per catty, and the price of 5 taels of fish is 11.6 yuan per catty. The price of fish has dropped by about 1-1.3 yuan. Of course, in addition to the disease causing fish farmers to speed up the sale of fish, the recent excessive fish stocks are also not conducive to the support of fish prices.

It can be seen that the market prices of special fish have been declining one after another, and silver carp, bream, crucian carp, carp, etc. are no exception. The recent prices are not satisfactory.

02. Egg prices fell

Egg prices were not very good in the first half of the year, and many egg farmers failed to make money. However, since July, the price of eggs has been rising, and it has continued to rise until mid-November. The price of eggs has remained above 4.5 yuan for a long time, and the profits of egg farmers have soared.

In fact, eggs have entered the traditional off-season starting from October, but rising vegetable prices have also triggered an increase in egg prices. However, now that the "vegetable basket" is falling, egg prices have begun to "reveal their original shape", and their market prices have also continued to decline.

Judging from today’s market conditions, Beijing fell by 0.07-0.11 yuan, and the egg price was 4.7-4.84 yuan/catty; Shanghai fell by 0.11 yuan, and the egg price was 5.13 yuan/catty; Guangzhou fell to 4.88-4.84 yuan/catty. 5.03 yuan/jin; Liaoning fell by 0.07 yuan, and the egg price was 4.67-4.83 yuan/jin; Hebei fell by 0.07-0.1 yuan, and the egg price was 4.6-4.73 yuan/jin; Henan fell to 4.63-4.8 yuan/jin, and Shandong It fell to 4.63-4.75 yuan/jin, and Jiangsu and Anhui fell to 4.7-4.9 yuan/jin.

The main reason for the decline in egg prices is sluggish consumption. Without the stimulation of the festival, there will be a decline in the short term. However, egg farmers should not worry too much. This year's egg production is on the low side. The number of eggs in stock in October was 1.17 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 7.62%. Due to low production, there is not much inventory, so it is difficult for egg prices to fall sharply.

03. Mutton fell to the "cabbage price"

In October, due to the rise in pork prices, the mutton market also rose. The market generally rose to 45-50 yuan per pound, and the mountain The price of mutton has even risen to 55-60 yuan per pound, and many people complain that mutton is too expensive and they cannot afford it.

However, mutton prices have fallen significantly recently. In a vegetable market in Wuhan, lamb legs are priced at 29 yuan per pound and lamb chops at 36 yuan per pound. Mr. Wang, a citizen, said that he remembers that mutton was generally 45 yuan in the summer, but now it has dropped to about 30 yuan, and the price has obviously dropped a lot. Aunt Li also said that she spent 100 yuan on more than 2 kilograms of lamb chops during the National Day, but now it only costs more than 70 yuan. Braised lamb chops are the most delicious during this season.

Lao Wang, the stall owner, said that currently, lamb legs and mutton are generally priced at 30-35 yuan per catty. Because the price is cheap, many people buy it. 200 catties can be sold in a day, and business is much better than before.

In a supermarket, the lowest price of lamb legs is only 29.8 yuan/catty, and the lowest price of lamb chops is 34.8 yuan/catty, which is about 10 yuan lower than last year, which can be said to be a big drop.

As for why the price of mutton is declining, it is also because this year’s production is relatively high. Due to the sluggish pig market, many people have also turned to raising live sheep. Now these sheep are starting to be sold one after another, so the mutton price has dropped to "cabbage price".

Of course, the price of mutton in the south is still relatively high, generally around 38-42 yuan, mainly due to low supply, which mainly depends on supply from the north.

04. Hairy crabs fell by 12 yuan

The market for hairy crabs has been sluggish recently, especially in the Gaochun production area, which has dropped by 5-12 yuan compared with last week. For example, the size of 4 female crabs is 57 Yuan per kilogram, down 12 yuan week-on-week; the price of 5gtangkou is 34 yuan, down 8 yuan week-on-week. As for the reason for the downturn, it is also because there is a lot of surplus in the Gaochun production area. Now it has entered the final stage, but the output is still about 30%.

Of course, the market situation in the Xinghua production area is not satisfactory. For example, the price of 4 Mu Tangkou is 55 yuan per catty, a drop of 5 yuan week on week; the price of 3.5 Mu Tangkou dropped by 6 yuan, from 46 yuan to 40 yuan. Yuan/jin; 5kg dropped by 6 yuan, and the price in Tangkou was 33 yuan/jin.

The main reason for the decline in hairy crab prices is poor consumer demand. It is now mid-to-late November, the weather is getting colder, and hairy crabs themselves are cold, so you cannot eat too much. In the context of falling sales, the origin of goods has naturally declined.

It can be seen that with the regulation of the government and the market, the "vegetable basket" is now gradually stabilizing. What do you think?
