Recently, oil prices and pork prices have risen one after another, becoming the focus of public attention. On October 22, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice announcing that the national gasoline and diesel prices would be raised by 225 yuan / ton and 220 yuan / ton respectively. At the same time, raw pork prices will also rise again.
For ordinary consumers, these price adjustments directly affect their economy and life. So how do we understand the changes brought about by rising oil prices and pork prices? Below, let's find out:
Reasons for the increase in oil prices:
1. International crude oil price rise: Crude oil prices have continued to rise due to the recent tight supply and demand situation in the international crude oil market.
2. Tight domestic supply and demand situation: oil production enterprises have seen their profits decline, and the prices of gasoline, diesel and other refined oil products have been rising.
3. The impact of weather, epidemic and other factors: The epidemic has made domestic logistics and transportation difficult, and sudden weather changes have also led to the obstruction of oil transportation in some areas, further driving up the price of refined oil.
Impact of higher oil prices:
1. Rising cost of automobile fuel: For users of private cars or public vehicles, rising oil prices will directly lead to an increase in fuel costs.
2. Price increases in express delivery, logistics and other industries: The rise in oil prices will also indirectly affect the price of some commodities, such as express delivery, logistics and other industries, and the logistics costs of these industries may also increase, which in turn will be reflected in commodity prices.
However, the rise in oil prices also has some positive effects:
1. Stimulate the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry: The rise in oil prices will stimulate the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry and promote the development of new energy vehicles.
2. Promote urban transportation: In cities with an increasing number of cars, especially private cars, we should also consider the use of public transportation more to contribute to the city's efforts to solve congestion and environmental pollution problems.
Reasons for the rise in raw pork prices:
1. Pig production capacity is affected: Affected by the new crown epidemic, the pig industry chain lacks the supply of workers, feed and logistics, resulting in a decrease in the number of pigs slaughtered and an increase in prices.
2. Uncertainty in the domestic and international environment: Factors such as epidemic risk have also had an impact on pig prices.
Impact of rising raw pork prices:
1. Rising prices of dishes on the table: The rise in raw pork prices will directly affect the price of dishes on the table.
2. Difficulty in buying meat: In some areas, shortages of raw pork may also make it difficult for residents to buy meat.
However, the rise in raw pork prices also has some positive effects:
1. Stimulate the development of the pig industry: The rise in the price of raw pork can stimulate the development of the pig industry, solve the problem of the decline in the previous inventory, and promote the recovery of pig production capacity.
2. Promote the concept of consumer health: For consumers, the shortage of raw pork should make people pay more attention to their health, try new meat combinations and healthy lifestyles, and bring better quality of life to themselves and their families.
In short, the rise in oil prices and pork prices is the result of factors such as market supply and demand and the international situation, we must be able to rationally view and respond to these changes, improve environmental awareness, try more low-carbon travel methods such as public transportation, and at the same time, we should also strengthen the publicity and promotion of health concepts and cultivate good healthy living habits.
