What causes the high price of pork?

The price of pork is really expensive now! Now in Guangdong, a catty of pork belly needs 30 yuan, a catty of ribs needs 40 yuan, a catty of pig's feet needs 35 yuan, and even a catty of pig's head needs 25 yuan. So what is the reason for the high price of pork?

1. The main reason: African swine fever had a great influence on 20 19, and it has affected so far.

20 19 African swine fever swept the world, and its power was no less than that of novel coronavirus in 2020. In novel coronavirus, which swept the world in 2020, although the total number of infected people exceeded100000 and the death toll reached 680000, the proportion was not high compared with the huge population base of human beings. However, in 20 19, African swine fever swept the world, but hundreds of millions of pigs died, which was inevitable in all pig producing areas in the world. Even in many parts of the world, pigs died under the sweep of African swine fever. China is undoubtedly the hardest hit area of African swine fever, and both large breeding companies and small pig farmers have suffered heavy losses. After African swine fever, many villages could not find a live pig. It would be a miracle if a township could find a few live pigs.

It was not until the end of 20 19 and the beginning of 2020 that pig breeding in China recovered a little. The pig breeding in China has slowly recovered some stocks through re-breeding, but the quantity is not much. Although China's pig market has gradually recovered a little vitality and vigor, the price of pork is extremely expensive because of the small number of pigs and the extremely large number of pigs, which makes it difficult to rise. When the price of pork is the highest, the price of a pig slaughtered normally in the slaughterhouse even reaches 654.38+100,000 yuan!

2. The cost of raising pigs has risen sharply:

Before 20 19 African swine fever, although pig feed was not cheap, the cost of raising pigs was not expensive compared with now. Many large pig companies have tens of thousands of pigs, even if the average pig farmer has dozens or hundreds, it is normal. At that time, the cost of raising a pig was about 1000 yuan, and now the cost of raising a pig is as high as 3000 yuan. And from the end of 20 19 to the beginning of 2020, even now, the number of piglets is very small, and you can't buy piglets if you want to raise pigs. At present, the price of a piglet in Guangdong Province ranges from 1000 yuan to 2000 yuan.

3. The risk of raising pigs is still high:

Although the African swine fever that swept the world on 20 19 has passed, it does not mean that the African swine fever virus has completely disappeared. From the second half of 20 19 to the end of 2009, when most people thought that African swine fever had passed, many breeding companies and farmers began to try to raise pigs again. Unfortunately, many pigs raised by these breeding companies and farmers were infected with African swine fever virus and suffered heavy losses again. Therefore, even in 2020, the breeding companies and farmers who have been hit hard by African swine fever are still afraid to raise pigs, and at most they just try to raise a little less. And now the price of piglets is extremely expensive. A pig is worth as much as 2000 yuan. If you accidentally raise it, 2000 yuan will be gone. Breeding is risky, so be careful when raising pigs!

4. Raising pigs is discouraged in many places:

Although African swine fever swept the world in 20 19, most pigs died in many places. However, this does not mean that many places will encourage people to actively raise pigs and reward them. Even when pigs are scarce and pork is expensive, people are discouraged from raising pigs in many places. And many places are like this, very tacit understanding, as if these places are arranged. In fact, the ultimate reason is that raising pigs pollutes the environment too much, which is much more harmful to the local area.

In many places, pigs are mainly raised by small-scale farmers in rural areas, generally dozens to hundreds. Characterized by scattered in rural areas, raised in villages, sandwiched between residential areas, no sewage treatment facilities, direct discharge, sewage flowing through rivers, stinking, people's opinions, complaints. Therefore, there is a tacit understanding in many places that it is better to do more than one thing, and people are not encouraged to vigorously develop the pig industry.

5.20 19 African swine fever farmers suffered huge losses and have not recovered so far:

Another important reason is that when African swine fever swept through in 20 19, aquaculture companies and farmers had already suffered serious losses, even lost all their money and were burdened with huge debts. In 2020, there were two jokes that were not funny at all. One is that when litchi in western Guangdong was ripe, it was not bought by a boss in Wuhan, so he called to ask. The boss in Wuhan said that he was the only one who died of the COVID-19 epidemic.

The second joke is that when the pig price is high this year, the pig dealer boss in the Pearl River Delta called the pig boss in western Guangdong and said that he would buy a large number of pigs. The pig owner in western Guangdong said that thousands of his pigs all died during the African swine fever last year, and now they are working in the Pearl River Delta to pay their debts.
