The first two years of the donkey industry can be described as very hot, but this year is unusual, the price of donkeys has fallen not only back to the level of three years ago, or even slightly worse, as far as the current situation is concerned, the donkey industry has entered a cold winter, which makes many donkey farmers who buy donkey foals at high prices and are ready to do a big job want to cry without tears.
In recent times, the price of donkeys and donkey skins has been declining, except for some areas in Shandong, the price of donkeys (fattening donkeys) in most other areas has dropped to less than 16 yuan / kg, the lowest is only less than 15 yuan / kg, and the price of fresh donkey skins is generally reduced to about 35 yuan / kg. The reason why the price of donkeys in some parts of Shandong is high is mainly because of the price of "contract donkeys" and "poverty alleviation donkeys", and the price of donkeys that have signed recycling contracts with ejiao enterprises is basically more than 18.7 yuan / kg, but the price of donkeys that have not signed recycling contracts with ejiao enterprises is very limited even if it is slightly higher than other regions.
<h1>Analysis of the reasons for the decline in the price of donkeys</h1>
1, the price of donkeys is too high. In the past few years, the price of donkeys has been rising, the highest price of donkeys once reached 20 yuan / catty, too high prices seriously affected the market sales of donkey meat and other donkey products, in this case, slaughtering enterprises, ejiao enterprises to reduce the purchase price can be said to be a matter of course.
2. The expansion of the female donkey is completed. When the price of donkeys was higher before, to a certain extent, the growth of the stock of female donkeys was driven, and the vast majority of female donkey foals were retained and bred, which led to the reduction of the number of donkeys that could be released in the market and its price rose further, and now the female donkeys that expanded in the previous few years have entered the production stage, and the price of donkeys that can be released in the market will naturally decline.
3. Imported donkey skin impact. In recent years, the number of imported donkey skins has been growing, because the price of foreign donkey skins is much lower than that of domestic donkey skins, and many ejiao enterprises have turned to the use and preparation of imported donkey skins, which to a large extent has impacted the price of domestic donkey skins, and donkey skins will definitely follow the price drop.
4. Fake donkey skin fake donkey meat. It can be said that there are more fake donkey skin fake donkey meat products on the market than the real ones, and its cost is much cheaper than the real one, so it leads to a more market for fake donkey skins than real goods, which to a large extent affects the market sales of real donkey skin and donkey meat products, which is also one of the reasons for the decline in the price of donkeys.
5. Seasonal fluctuations. From the perspective of the price trend of donkeys in previous years, almost every year after entering the summer, there will be a decline, which is a normal seasonal fluctuation, one is that the quality of donkey skins in summer is relatively poor, and the second is that the consumption of donkey meat products in summer is small, but although the current decline in donkey prices has seasonal fluctuations, its impact is not large.
