Recently, Zhengbang, New Hope, Aonong and other feed companies announced feed price increases, most of which are about 100 yuan per ton, mainly due to the rise in raw material prices.
According to the person in charge of a feed production enterprise in Jinhua, Zhejiang, the price of soybean meal rose from about 3600 yuan to about 4800 yuan after the Spring Festival, an increase of about 30%.
Some small feed factories said that the pressure is now very large, the current soybean meal is not only high price, it is difficult to get goods, you need to go to the oil mill to queue up and wait for goods, the soybean meal in the warehouse has been left, can not produce ...
Feed enterprises: The rise in raw materials has led to an increase in costs of 300-400 yuan / ton
Soybean meal prices soared by 1,200 yuan / ton At a feed production enterprise in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, a large truck loaded with more than 30 tons of soybean meal was unloading. The relevant person in charge told reporters that soybean meal is the main raw material for the production of feed, and the price rose sharply after the Spring Festival, from about 3600 yuan to about 4800 yuan, an increase of about 30%, which directly pushed up the cost of feed production.
Wu Changjin, technical director of Zhejiang Dabei Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd., said: Because corn and soybean meal account for about 80% of the feed formula composition, we are therefore.
The person in charge admitted that the price of soybean meal had not yet risen before the Spring Festival, and at that time, the goods were prepared for a month, and they could barely maintain the original price sales. But now the inventory is almost exhausted, raw materials can only be purchased at a high price, the cost and selling price have been inverted, and the price increase is also a helpless move.
Some small feed enterprises have very little inventory left and almost stop production
In the finished product library of another feed production enterprise in Jinhua, Zhejiang, shu Xinbiao, the person in charge, told reporters that compared with ordinary feed, the concentrated materials produced by their factory have a greater demand for soybean meal, at least 70% of the raw materials are soybean meal, and the recent sharp rise in soybean meal prices has led to a soaring cost.
The reporter also visited some small feed factories, they said that the pressure is very large, the current soybean meal is not only high price, it is difficult to get goods, you need to go to the oil mill to queue up and wait for goods. There was very little soybean meal left in the storeroom and could not be produced.
The main reason is the increase in raw material prices. Analysts said that the supply of imported soybeans is tight, and a large number of oil mills have been shut down.
Zhang Binmei, chief analyst of the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery industry of Orient Securities, introduced: The reduction in production in South America is relatively certain, and the overall weather performance is still in a relatively arid state, so
Feed prices have risen, pig prices have fallen, and farmers have fallen into losses across the board
Feed price increases directly affect the profits of farmers. At present, the price of pigs is running at a low level, and the price of feed is rising and the cost of breeding is rising, what is the survival status of farmers?
Wu Yuyin has been raising pigs for nearly thirty years, he calculated an account for the reporter, a pig from the nursery out of 30 pounds, raised to 280 pounds out of the pen, the cost of feed alone is 1500 yuan to 1700 yuan, and according to the current pig price, about 7 yuan per kilogram, a pig can only be sold to about 1900 yuan, as well as vaccine drugs, depreciation and other expenses, calculated down to losses. Now, he buys corn and soybean meal to feed himself, saving some processing costs.
Wu Yuyin, head of Jianfen Pig Farm in Jindong District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province: Feed costs have increased, and the degree of loss has been higher.
Song Yanfang and her husband, who run a small pig farm, told reporters that pig farmers are generally facing cost pressures caused by feed price increases.
Song Yanfang, head of Yuguanqing Pig Farm in Jindong District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province: 70% of the cost of pigs is feed-based, it is now rising, our cost has increased a lot, and there is definitely a 10% increase.
Shao Kang runs two pig farms, breeding 10,000 ordinary white pigs and 10,000 Jinhua special breed pigs "two heads of wu". He admitted that the current price of white pigs is very low, and after experiencing the last round of pig cycle, many large breeding enterprises have rapidly expanded production, resulting in increased competitive pressure. Coupled with the rise in feed prices, they are all raising pigs and selling pigs at a loss.
Shao Kangwei, head of Xianqiao Ranch in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, said: The price increase of feed,
In order to cope with the loss dilemma, Shao Kang turned to breeding a breed of pigs with higher added value, two-headed wu. Due to the blackness of the head and neck and rump tail, the breed is known as the "two-headed crow". Although the breed has a longer feeding cycle than ordinary white pigs, the price is much higher, and the higher profit margin is enough to resist the pressure of rising costs.
