I think everyone has heard about the price of pork at the market lately. Whether you shop or not, you know that domestic pork has been increasing. By default, the price of pork in all cities has reached $20. In some cities, the price of pork is even higher, but instant dumplings, especially pork dumplings, are available at the market for as little as $3 per pound. After all, in addition to pork, dumplings should be prepared with dumpling skins, including production costs, processing costs, transportation costs and storage costs and other vegetables.
So I asked a friend who produces in a gyoza factory and said that it has to do with the production of gyoza, and frozen frozen gyoza are resistant to freezing, so they are stored for a long time. Pork in the market is $20 per pound, but in the process of making dumplings, pork is very cheap.
And it is impossible to make fresh meat dumplings with fresh pork, usually leftover meat or minced meat, Most frozen dumplings are made with thick skins and small fillings, so frozen dumplings are very economical and have little meat. The cost is certainly cheap. In addition, dumpling factories are usually mass-produced, so if almost all the dumplings are seeded, labor and other costs can be ignored, and these frozen dumplings, which sell for $3 per pound, are still profitable.
In addition, frozen dumplings remain popular in the marketplace. If consumers buy these dumplings, they will need to boil them, so the dumplings are selling very well in the market and therefore in large quantities. Dumpling factories have realized the business purpose of low profit and quick turnover. That's why you can have frozen pork dumplings for $3 a pound.
