China's pork market has always attracted attention because pork is one of the indispensable staple foods on the table of Chinese. In recent years, due to the outbreak of African swine fever, the pork market has fallen into a state of tight supply, and prices have soared. And today, we see a good news - the average price of the national pig market has increased by 0.15 yuan/kg, reaching 14.3 yuan/kg.
This news is undoubtedly good news for the majority of consumers. Because pork prices were once high, many families had to adjust their diets to reduce their pork intake and choose other meats or vegetarian options. Now, with the gradual decline in the market price of hogs, consumers can enjoy the delicious pork again.
Of course, this news is also good news for pig farmers. In the case of high pork prices, pig farmers' profits will also increase accordingly. With the gradual decline of pig market prices, the production costs of pig farmers will also be reduced accordingly, thereby increasing their profit margins.
However, we also need to see that while this news brings good news, we also need to be vigilant. Because the pork market is a very special market, supply and demand can change at any time. Moreover, we cannot ignore the risk of African swine fever. Although the mainland has taken a series of measures to prevent and control the spread of African swine fever, we still need to remain vigilant and strengthen precautions.
In addition, we also need to note that the average price of live pig market has risen by 0.15 yuan/kg, which may not be a very large profit margin for pig farmers. Because in the process of raising pigs, in addition to the cost of feed, there are many other costs, such as veterinary drug costs, labor costs, water and electricity costs, etc. Therefore, we cannot assume that the profit margins of pig farmers have increased significantly just because the price of the pig market has risen a little bit.
In short, the average price of the national pig market has risen by 0.15 yuan/kg, although it is good news, but we also need to remain vigilant, strengthen prevention, and at the same time can not ignore the problem of production costs of pig farmers. We hope that our pork market can remain stable and provide consumers with better quality food.
