1 The reason is that there is insufficient supply of mutton in the market. But the output of mutton is still very high. Judging from the situation of raising sheep in the market this year, the overall production capacity of mutton sheep has exceeded 5 million. However, with the increase of various input costs of raising sheep, the price of mutton in the market is also rising, which is considered as an upward tide.
The second reason is the increase of feed cost. Sheep mainly eat corn. The increase of corn price also leads to the increase of mutton breeding cost, which in turn leads to the increase of mutton price. Now the substitution effect of mutton and pork is obviously enhanced, so the price of mutton will also increase, mainly because this year's pork can not be imported because of the epidemic, so many people choose to eat mutton. If you eat too much mutton, the market will naturally be in short supply, so it will also lead to an increase in prices. The third reason is that farmers are unwilling to sell. When the price of mutton is good, they will also want to keep the mutton sheep until the price rises. Moreover, the price of mutton has laid a foundation for improving the profit of raising sheep, and it is unlikely that the price of mutton will fall in the short term.
In fact, the price increase has little impact on us, because consumers' consumption of mutton has decreased, and mutton will also enter a state of being valuable without market. Without mutton, we can still eat chicken, pork and beef. We don't have to eat mutton, but it is good to eat mutton in winter. This is very beneficial to our health. You can eat a little properly, because even if you eat a little occasionally, it doesn't hurt too much, and mutton should not be eaten more. However, today is New Year's Day. Who has nothing to buy mutton? Let's buy more chicken and pork. It's all the same in your mouth
