This May Day is really a bit poignant.
The pig price in mind failed to rise as scheduled, although there was a rise in the market before the May Day, but how to fall sharply before the holiday, directly fell 15 yuan / kg, and the follow-up even if it rose again is obviously weak.
Therefore, this May Day pig price is basically in vain again.
It doesn't matter if the price of pigs doesn't rise, eggs have also suffered Waterloo.
Think about how beautiful the eggs were in the first two years, but now it's not good, and I'm starting to pull the list.
Since February, egg prices have been declining, and by the end of April, they had fallen into the "3".
You must know that in the same period last year, it was still on the "4 prefix", in comparison, it fell by 1 yuan per catty.
On the other hand, the cost of breeding is also in the early 3 yuan, which means that many farmers are already losing money.
As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, the days that have experienced the scenery, there will inevitably be a time to move forward with a heavy load.
The market's continued decline in egg prices is due to the fact that demand is too weak and pork consumption is sluggish.
From the perspective of the consumption structure of eggs, household consumption accounts for more than 50%, then catering, canteens, schools, etc., accounting for about 30%, and finally industrial consumption accounts for less than 20%.
From the perspective of consumption structure, the overall change is not large, even if industrial consumption has declined, but because the proportion is not high, the impact is limited.
So, why are egg prices falling endlessly?
The root cause is that the supply is too large.
In the first two years, the egg market was good, and a series of operations such as filling the column were also very violent, resulting in a rapid rise in the inventory of laying hens.
By this year, the laying hen inventory has been at a high level.
According to the data, as of the end of March, the national laying hen inventory was 1.233 billion, an increase of 4% year-on-year, a high level in the past three years.
Not only that, but the trend continues unabated.
Since the second half of last year, the number of laying hens has continued to increase, and until the first quarter of this year, the growth trend is relatively obvious.
In the second half of last year, the sales of chicks were also very hot, indicating that the number of laying hens will not weaken this year.
On the other hand, the proportion of older chickens has declined, which means that the number of chickens that can be tapped in the later period is limited, and the inventory of laying hens is obviously younger.
This means that the efficiency of egg production will be improved, and the actual supply of eggs will continue to increase.
At the same time, small-sized eggs will also increase, and the market's consumption of small-sized eggs is average, so there will be unsalable small-sized eggs in some areas, so the egg price is getting weaker and weaker.
Therefore, the price of eggs has weakened frequently, and it is really not that no one eats eggs, the main reason is that there is too much supply.
In the future, May and June are still the off-season for consumption, and the supply of eggs will only increase, so eggs may continue to be under pressure, and even continue to weaken in the second quarter.
