The price increase of chicken legs in Japan is mainly due to the impact of bird flu. A large number of live poultry were culled, causing the market to be in short supply, so the price increase was reasonable. However, the price of chicken is still a bit outrageous. Chicken leg meat itself is not expensive, but it reaches 50 yuan per kilogram in the Japanese market.

In addition to chicken legs, the prices of other chicken-related items, such as chicken breasts, chicken livers, chicken wings, and even processed products such as meatballs, have also increased. If it is only domestic, we can still rely on imports, but bird flu has occurred in South Korea before, and the situation is no better than Japan. China itself is a large consumer of chicken. Before pork is free, chicken is obviously the best substitute. 1. The price of chicken in Japan is rising

According to news reports, the wholesale price of chicken leg meat in Japan has reached 50 yuan per kilogram. This situation is mainly caused by avian influenza. Japan's bird flu has affected more than a dozen first-level administrative regions, and nearly 4.6 million live birds have been culled.

Chicken itself is famous for its delicious meat and low price. It is the main choice of meat nutrition in various countries. The supply of meat is now tight, and the supply of meat on the market exceeds demand, so prices can only rise. However, as prices rise, Japanese chicken has surpassed pork, and the price is 1.4 times that of pork. 2. Decrease in imported chicken

In addition to the domestic chicken shortage, Japan’s imported chicken is also gradually decreasing. This situation is mainly due to the epidemic, and logistics has not completely returned to normal. Other countries have experienced bird flu before, and meat prices are not much cheaper than in Japan. Even if it is imported, the price may not be much cheaper.

As for Chinese chicken, it’s a no brainer. Pork freedom has not been achieved and chicken is the best substitute. Moreover, our country is already a large consumer of chicken. The only thing we can do now is to stop importing chicken food from Japan. Currently, imports have been suspended. It is unlikely that Japanese chicken prices will fall until the bird flu is over. 3. Things are rare and valuable

When pork is expensive, people dislike the cheapness of chicken and want to eat pork one after another. I'm afraid no one thought that the price of chicken, which usually costs only a few yuan or more than a dozen yuan, would triple or four times rise to 50 yuan per kilogram.

But this is the market. Things are rare and valuable. When an ordinary ingredient gradually decreases, it will become a treasure. Even if it is usually inconspicuous, it will become the mainstream among meats. The outbreak of avian influenza has also reminded people not to have casual contact with poultry and avoid contact with wild poultry. If you want to buy meat products, you must choose formal channels.
