In the whole year of 2020, at the beginning of 20021,COVID-19 epidemic broke out in many countries around the world, because some so-called developed countries such as Europe and the United States did not pay attention to the prevention and control of the epidemic, resulting in more than one million deaths worldwide, followed by rising prices, especially in China, where the Spring Festival is approaching, pork prices tend to be stable compared with usual, but domestic beef prices have increased, because the domestic beef production in China is far from meeting the needs of ordinary people. However, this year, due to the global epidemic, beef imports have been greatly reduced, and the relationship between supply and demand cannot be satisfied, which is the main reason for the increase in beef prices.
1. The decrease of imported meat is affected by the epidemic situation in COVID-19 in 2020, and the price of meat food has an upward trend worldwide in 202 1. Although there are many meat products in China. But most beef in China is imported. Domestic beef cannot meet domestic demand. However, due to transportation conditions, beef needs to be frozen. However, the survival rate in COVID-19 has been greatly improved because of the low temperature. Therefore, according to the influence and changes of global epidemic situation, the quantity of beef imported from China in 2020 and 20021year decreased significantly compared with previous years, which also led to the domestic beef production can not meet the current market supply and demand relationship, leading to the increase of domestic beef prices during the Spring Festival.
Second, there are fewer fresh animals imported from abroad. Many western restaurants in China use beef as beef food, all of which are imported from abroad. In addition to importing fresh meat products from abroad, China will also import some live animals, such as live cattle and live sheep. However, the global novel coronavirus, which broke out in 2020, has an impact on the global ecological environment. And the epidemic prevention and control in major beef producing countries is not in place, which leads to the infection of meat products and animals in COVID-19, especially the COVID-19 positive report found in imported frozen food. In 2002 1,1and February, COVID-19 positive data were found in cherry, ice cream and cp food packaging in China. These incidents have caused people to greatly reduce the purchase of some live animals and meat products for their own safety.
In a word, the prices of many domestic products have been rising since the COVID-19 virus broke out in the world. Not only meat products, but also fruits and agricultural products that we eat every day. At the beginning of 2020, the domestic pork price was twice that of the current pork price. However, after the domestic epidemic was controlled, the domestic pork price slowly fell back to the daily price. However, for some imported domestic meat products, the price is still on the rise. Therefore, with the arrival of the Spring Festival in China, the domestic beef price is on the rise. Apart from the enthusiasm for shopping during the Chinese New Year, a large part of the reason is that the reduction of beef imports from China affected the domestic beef price, which eventually led to a 20% increase in domestic beef prices in China.
