In fact, it's not only vegetables that are rising in price, but the price of eggs has also risen to the highest point of the year, 5.9 yuan/kg, which is close to the 6 yuan mark. In addition, due to the blocked circulation of pigs, the price of pork, which has been at a historical low recently, is also "rising". In this regard, some citizens have calculated an account: now the cost of frying a plate of moo Shu pork at home and using pork, eggs, cucumbers, rapeseed, fungus and other ingredients is twice that of a month ago.
The egg turned into a "rocket egg" and forced the 6 yuan pass
"In the past, 20 yuan could buy a big bag of eggs, but this time I gave so little!" On the 23rd, Mr. Li, who just bought a bag of eggs from the supermarket near Lingxiu City, told reporters that the price of eggs has risen "alarmingly" recently. "I bought 5.89 yuan a catty of eggs, which is half a catty less than before." Mr. Li can't figure it out. Now there is no year and no festival. Why do eggs rise so fast? "I paid more than 4 yuan a catty last month."
The price of eggs began to fluctuate up and down since it entered the market. According to the data of price monitoring by the Central District Price Bureau, the price of eggs increased significantly in early August. As of August 23rd, the average price of eggs in the farmers' market of Minzu Street in Shizhong District was 5.8 yuan/kg, which was almost equal to 6 yuan Pass.
"There are no eggs left in this half month, and how many are sold." Mr. Yan, the person in charge of Jinwo Chicken Breeding Base, told the reporter that the stock of eggs in the farm had been sold out in the early stage, and now there are more than 1 10,000 hens in the farm, laying more than 900 kilograms of eggs every day, "basically in short supply." As of August 23rd, the wholesale price of Mr. Yan's eggs was 235 yuan/box /45 kg, that is, 5.2 yuan/kg. "16 is the most expensive, 240 yuan/box/45 kg, up 32.35% compared with the same period of last month." He analyzed that the recent high humidity and high temperature led to anorexia of laying hens, and the egg production decreased significantly, which made the market supply insufficient and the price rose.
Yin Shan, price monitor of the Central District Price Bureau, believes that this summer is the hottest in 20 years. In order to ensure the freshness of eggs, farmers have increased storage costs, which has led to an increase in egg prices. In addition, the recent frequent rainstorm has caused poor transportation, making it difficult for foreign eggs to enter the local market, which has further boosted the price of eggs. "It is expected that the price of eggs may have reached its peak." Huang Zixuan, an analyst of Zhuo Chuang Information, analyzed that at present, the high temperature weather in many places has eased, the laying rate of laying hens is in a recovery period, and with the increasing number of newly-developed laying hens, the supply of eggs has increased. It is estimated that the daily average price of eggs in the main producing areas of China will rise in a narrow range in the second half of the week, with the range of 0. 10-0.20 yuan/kg, and the motivation to rise again is slightly insufficient.
A variety of vegetable prices rose by half and coriander was sold to 50 yuan.
"I really can't afford to eat green vegetables!" Ms. Zhang, who lives in Jixiang Garden in Lixia District, told the media that she went to the farmer's market after work on the evening of the 22nd and bought five or six kinds of vegetables, which actually cost 56.6 yuan. "That is, a handful of spinach, two lotus roots, some mushrooms and broccoli, the amount of a meal for a family of four." In this regard, Sister Wang, the stall owner in the farmer's market, told her that the rainy weather was bad these days, and many vegetables were shipped from other places, which directly affected the price of vegetables. "Spinach and rape are shipped from Inner Mongolia and the wholesale price is expensive."
The rain on 18 and 19 directly raised the price of vegetables. The media learned from Kuangshan Vegetable Wholesale Market that the prices of most vegetables rose. On 23rd, the average price of eggplant was 2.5 yuan/500g, which was 25% higher than that on17th (before the rain). Rape is now 2.8 yuan/500g, up 55.6% compared with17th; Cucumber is now 2.5 yuan/500g, up 50% compared with17th; The current average price of beans is 2.5 yuan/500g, up 66.7% from17th; Kidney beans are now 3.7 yuan /500 grams, up 23.3% from 17; Spinach is now 5 yuan/500g, up 42.9% compared with17th.
"The prices of 10 kinds of vegetables have all gone up." Yin Shan also told reporters that the price of vegetables in the area has risen. The most obvious are celery, Chinese cabbage and cabbage, which are 3 yuan, 2.5 yuan and 2.8 yuan, respectively, up by 50%, 66.67% and 40% respectively compared with the same period of last month. The fastest price increase can be said to be coriander. The reporter learned that at a stall in the vegetable market of Qipanjie Community in Lixia District, the coriander with better appearance was sold to 50 yuan/kg. "These look fresh, and the appearance over there is not very good, 25 yuan/Jin." A citizen who buys vegetables told the media that coriander doesn't eat much, and it is enough to buy one or two at a time.
"The vegetables shipped from Shouguang have all gone up." Mr. Sun, a staff member of Kuangshan Vegetable Wholesale Market, told reporters that cabbages, eggplants and peppers in the market are mostly from Shouguang. Because Shouguang was seriously hit by rain, many greenhouses were flooded, and the amount of vegetables on the market decreased significantly, which also affected the price of vegetables. However, the heavy rainfall made some roads impassable, and it was difficult for vegetables from other places to enter the local market. The demand for vegetables in the market was in short supply, and the price increased significantly. Thirdly, the current vegetable growth is in the period of green and yellow, which is also one of the reasons for the increase in vegetable prices.
The price of meat has risen for 7 weeks, and the value of "Second Brother" has rebounded.
"The price of meat has finally gone up." On the 23rd, Mr. Han, a pig farmer, finally breathed a sigh of relief, which has been bullish again for more than a month. "The wholesale price can reach more than 7 yuan per catty, and you can earn money." Since the beginning of this year, the price of pork has been falling again and again until the bottom, and the wholesale price once dropped to about 5 yuan/Jin, which made him lose a lot of money. Now he finally sees the dawn. In the end consumer market, consumers also feel that the price of pork is much more expensive than a month ago.
"Pork belly 12 yuan a catty." At Jixiangyuan Farmers' Market, Ms. Zhang found that the price of pork was about 1 yuan per catty higher than last month. "The previous pork was too cheap, and it is normal to warm up now." Mr. Liu, the stall owner, said that since June, pork prices are slowly picking up.
The media found from the website of the Municipal Price Bureau that since July 9, the average price of pork in Jinan farmers' market has been rising for seven weeks. On July 9th, the average price of pork belly in the farmer's market was 9.8 yuan. Up to August 23rd, the average price of pork belly in Jinan farmers' market was 1 1.28 yuan. The pork belly price of a large supermarket chain was adjusted to 14.9 yuan per catty from August 6th, which was 15.5% higher than that on August 2nd. "It should be affected by the weather. It is too hot, the logistics is not good for transportation, and the circulation of pigs is not smooth, so the price of pigs is expensive." Mr. Han thinks.
According to the analysis, Henan, Jiangsu and other places are obviously affected by the African swine fever epidemic, and the deep game between breeding and slaughtering enterprises, the blocked circulation of pigs among provinces has become the biggest factor affecting pig prices at present. It is expected that domestic pig prices will continue to maintain the pattern of falling and rising in the short term.
In addition to meat, vegetables and eggs, some citizens said, "Even Jindeli's crispy biscuits and fried dough sticks are expensive, from 1 yuan to 1.5 yuan." In this regard, the relevant person in charge of Jindeli said that since 2006, the price of fried sesame cakes and fried dough sticks 12 years has increased for the first time because of the impact of production costs such as manpower, prices and rent, "it is impossible to hold on without price increases."
Natural disasters are in short supply.
