The decline in pig prices is definitely a good thing for consumers. If you don't buy some pork to eat, everyone will feel bored. But it is not a good thing for farmers, and the profit of raising pigs is less, which will definitely affect income.
Let's take a look at the impact of falling pig prices on consumers and farmers.
First, ordinary people feel affordable.
I remember the time when the price of pork was the highest, and it soared to around 40 yuan, even higher than the price of mutton. During that time, people were very cautious in selling pork, for fear that if they bought too much, they would feel boring.
Originally, we northerners used to buy meat very directly and heroically, and at that time, we could only tell Bala to give me 100 yuan, not more. Meat vendors are also embarrassed. They want to give you more money, but they are afraid that you don't want more money. I want to cut you a little less, but I don't think I can make money by selling too little.
In the end, it is obviously meat that can be cut with one knife. He trembled and asked if you had enough. The meat was cut in a mess, and there was not even a neat knife edge.
Since the price of pork fell below 20 yuan, people even took revenge consumption. When they go to buy meat again, their backs are hard and they are full of gas. They let the boss cut the meat casually and kept saying that I should have a good meal. I've lost myself for so long.
And the boss who sells meat is also very good at it. He just cut a big piece and didn't ask if you were enough. Cut it off and throw it directly on the electronic scale. The price is waiting for you to pay. At this time, people are also very happy, give as much as they want, and will not abandon more or less.
Second, the interests of farmers are affected.
In fact, many large-scale farms are not greatly affected. Although their profit margin may be compressed because of the drop in pig prices, because of their large scale, batches of pigs will level the price difference, so the final profit situation is relatively stable.
What really affected were small farmers, especially those who chose to keep three or five pigs at home because of the high price of pork at that time. When these people buy piglets, the pig price is high, and then when the pigs are sold, the pig price has been falling. After working hard to raise pigs for several months, until the money for buying piglets, raising pigs, vaccines and so on, it is still unknown whether the final profit can be equal to the labor cost. I may have been busy for a long time, but it was a waste of time in the end. Just don't lose money.
With the decline of pig prices, the number of farmers may continue to decrease, and pork prices will once again usher in an upward trend in the future.
The price of pork has fallen, and those small farmers may not raise pigs.
As a result, there will be fewer and fewer pigs available for slaughter in the market. If this development continues, at some point in the future, the supply of live pigs will be tight, and the price of pork will naturally rise because the market is in short supply. At that time, the price of pork will go up all the way, maybe it will rise to around 30-40 yuan.
This is probably a self-regulation mechanism of the market, as long as the price fluctuation is not particularly large, it is normal.
Conclusion:
The price of pork has fallen, and the people are happy to go all out. After all, almost every family in our daily life is inseparable from pork.
Pork should be the most common meat in China. No matter what dishes are cooked, everyone habitually puts a few pieces of pork down. As for ribs, stew and the like, it goes without saying that it is pork.
Most people in China eat meat, but you can tell it's pork. This is our usual achievement. When it comes to meat, it generally refers to pork. Others, such as beef, mutton, chicken and duck, must indicate the category when mentioned.
As one of the most common meats, price fluctuation is the most influential factor in people's daily diet structure. Everyone is worried when the price goes up, and naturally everyone is happy when the price goes down. However, as long as the price is in a relatively stable trend, it is impossible to turn happiness into happiness and continue to fall.
