The price of general commodities is in direct proportion to the demand. The greater the demand, the higher the price. After all, things are scarce, but in this case, we can find that during the Spring Festival every year, everyone's desire to eat meat is relatively strong, and the demand for meat is also very large. Therefore, during the Spring Festival every year, both pork and mutton are expensive. However, after the Spring Festival, everyone went to work everywhere, and the necessities at home were not finished, so the demand for meat would decrease, and then the price of meat would slowly fall back to usual. However, there seems to be something different from previous years this year. The price of mutton in 202 1 year did not fall after the year, but it rose. In the New Year, it sold for about 40 yuan a catty, but actually reached 50 yuan a catty after the year.

The cost of raising sheep has increased. The reason why the price of mutton has soared, and it has not been reduced, is mainly because of the increase in cost. According to some reporters' interviews with sheep breeding bases, it can be found that because the price of feed eaten by sheep rose in 20021year, the cost also increased a lot in this case. In addition, influenced by some economic factors, when raising sheep, the factory buildings, including labor costs, have all gone up. In this case, because the cost of breeding has gone up, and businesses need certain benefits, these costs can only be increased on mutton and then on consumers, which is one of the main reasons why the price of mutton has gone up but not reduced.

The supply of mutton is not enough. As the saying goes, things are scarce. The same is true for mutton, because excessive demand and insufficient supply will lead to price increase, and there are many factors that will cause insufficient supply. First of all, the first aspect is because of the impact of the epidemic, and then there is no way to make a good economic forecast, and the changes are relatively large, so many farmers dare not blindly breed. On the other hand, because of the impact of the epidemic, it is impossible to import and export some mutton from abroad, and then the domestic breeding is restricted to some extent, so the supply is insufficient.

At present, the overall price of mutton is still showing an upward trend, and there is no trend to reduce the price, but I believe that with the development of time, the relevant departments of the country will definitely adjust the price of mutton, and its price will certainly not be too outrageous.
