It has to be said that the rise in fish prices has been really strong. Other aspects are not too well known. Our common freshwater fish is not less than 10 yuan / kg. Take the common freshwater fish, snapper used to sell 6~7 yuan/kg, now it sells 11 yuan/kg, herring sells 13 yuan/kg, and crucian carp sells 17 yuan/kg. It can even be said that nine out of 10 people who buy fish will ask why fish is so expensive these days. It is an indisputable fact that fish prices have risen. What are the reasons for the continuous rise in fish prices? Reduced fish production and imbalance between supply and demand in the market Due to the low price of fish, many farmers have switched to other professions. Coupled with climate and other factors, freshwater fish production has declined, and the reduction in fish production has led to an imbalance between supply and demand in the market. As we all know, once market supply exceeds demand, it will naturally rise. In addition, fish prices were at a high level a year ago, and the fish ponds were basically cleared of adult fish. Nowadays, the fish ponds are mostly filled with newly released fry, which simply cannot meet the listing requirements. As a result, freshwater fish prices have been rising steadily in the recent period.

Meat prices have risen, the demand for fish has also greatly increased frequent grocery shopping friends should know that the price of pork, beef and mutton rose sharply a year ago, although the later part of the downward adjustment, but it is still not helpful. The price is expensive, but the price of pork, beef and lamb is really too high. So at this time, some consumers shifted their consumption target to food such as poultry and fish, and fish products replaced meat, which greatly increased the demand for fish for a period of time, so the price of fish also rose. As temperatures rise, fish production will continue to decline and then fish prices will continue to rise slightly, with the upward momentum continuing until new fish are available. Since most of the fish fry are placed in March-April and the fish take about 4 months to mature, fish prices are still on an upward trend. If fish prices stabilize, it is estimated that new fish may be available in August.

Generally speaking, the main factor for the price increase of freshwater fish is the decline in fish production (and the reasons for the decline are many, such as climate, farmers switching to other trades, putting in fry, etc.). , a significant increase in market demand for freshwater fish. The market has always followed this pattern. When supply exceeds demand, prices will naturally rise. Changes in people's dietary consumption? Because the rise in the price of pork has also led to a rise in the price of beef and mutton, people will change their dietary habits and buy some freshwater fish to eat at home instead of pork, beef and mutton. In this way, the price of freshwater fish will also be raised, making the price of freshwater fish rise even higher. The price of freshwater fish is very good in this period. In our place, the three major fish grass carp, carp and catfish have alternatives rising.

Can't just dig a fish pond? Central Document No. 1 clearly stipulates that the red line to protect 1.8 billion mu of basic farmland, this red line can not be crossed, prohibit the basic farmland of non-food non-agricultural, which will make the rural masses to stop the use of their own basic farmland and digging fish ponds to raise fish, the number of fish farmers will be reduced, and the price of freshwater fish will rise slowly. Increased cost of fish farming? Because of the increase in the number of people raising pigs, cattle and mutton, the demand for feed for farming will also increase, which will lead to an increase in the cost of some of the feed for fish farming. For example, soybean cake, barley, bran, fish meal and other feeds on the market have risen. Soybean meal has risen 70 to 110 yuan per ton, and fishmeal has risen 100 yuan per ton. So it makes sense that the feed cost of fish farming has increased, and the price of freshwater fish has increased.
