The latest price of beef and mutton Up to now, the wholesale price of mutton has risen for seven weeks, from 69.22 yuan/kg to 74.87 yuan/kg at present, and the price has increased by 8. 16%. Not only the price of mutton rises, but also the wholesale price of beef is on the rise. At present, the average price is 76.95 yuan/kg, and the price has increased by 9.2%.
What is the reason for the increase in the price of beef and mutton? So why did the price of beef and mutton rise? First of all, the price of beef and mutton was generally low in previous years, and farmers could not make ends meet. Therefore, in order to minimize losses, farmers generally choose to reduce the number of cattle and sheep, so the output is greatly reduced. At the same time, due to the sharp increase in feed and labor costs, farmers generally think that the profits are too low and are unwilling to increase the number of cattle and sheep, so the supply of beef and mutton market is relatively tight. Secondly, there is a great pressure on ecological environment protection recently, and the area of grazing prohibition in some major producing provinces is also expanding. Many farmers say that after grassland degradation, the number of cattle and sheep that can be farmed is greatly reduced, so the output is also decreasing. Thirdly, the peak season of beef and mutton consumption is winter, but the cold wave weather is frequent in winter, which makes it very difficult to manage and transport beef and mutton sheep over the winter, which leads to the increase of meat prices. Fourthly, the import channels of beef and mutton are affected by foreign epidemic situation, so the supply of beef and mutton in the domestic market is also very tight. Fifth, because the price of pork is also rising, the price of beef and mutton is rising.
Will the price of beef and mutton rise in the future? What everyone is most concerned about is whether the subsequent beef and mutton prices will continue to rise. First of all, the supply of beef and mutton in the domestic market is relatively tight at present, and the consumption of beef and mutton will continue to increase due to the impact of consumption upgrading and the stimulation of seasonal consumption. At the same time, due to the epidemic situation, the supply of beef and mutton in the international market is relatively small, which also leads to increased supply pressure in the domestic market. Secondly, winter is the peak season of beef and mutton consumption, and the consumption of beef and mutton is increasing. So overall, the price of beef and mutton will rise slightly. It is expected that the price will fall after next spring.
