Is it true that the price of pork will rise to 25 yuan per catty by the end of this year?

In the face of this online news, I personally think it may be true. Recently, the price of pork is on the rise, coupled with the arrival of autumn and winter and the increase of legal holidays, the market demand for pork is also increasing substantially. Under such circumstances, if the pork market is in short supply, the price will rise, and it is not impossible for the price to rise to 25 yuan/Jin around the Spring Festival at the end of the year.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "pig food is safe in the world". Pork is the most common meat on the table of ordinary people, and it is also one of the most popular meats. It can be said that the whole body of a pig is a treasure, and different parts can make different delicacies. It is for these two reasons that pork has become an indispensable ingredient in ordinary families and daily life.

The price of pork will directly affect the purchase amount of each family. Personally, I think that the price of pork may rise to 25 yuan/Jin at the end of the year for the following two reasons.

First of all, the market demand for pork has increased. As the weather gets colder, autumn and winter come slowly. In this case, the market demand for pork is slowly increasing. In the hot summer, people like a light diet, and the market demand for pork has declined; When the weather turns cold, people need more fat to keep out the cold, and their appetite will recover a little. In this case, the demand for pork will gradually increase.

With the increase of market demand, the price of pork will rise gradually, which is an inevitable law. In addition, due to more holidays in the second half of the year, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, New Year's Day and Spring Festival will come one after another, which will greatly increase the demand for pork.

The arrival of major festivals will increase the quantity of pork purchased in catering industry and family life. Coupled with the cold winter, starting to make a big wave of sausages and bacon, just like "storing meat", will become a very important reason for the rise in pork prices.

Second, the pork market supply is difficult to meet the market demand for pork. Raising pigs doesn't happen overnight. It takes time from sow pregnancy to piglet birth, and it also takes time from piglet to pig slaughter. Less use 1-2 years, it is difficult to effectively alleviate the pig supply market under the condition of high price. This is also an important reason why pork prices once broke through the 20 yuan mark and reached the 30 yuan mark.

The number of live pigs will have a direct impact on the pork market price. After the number of stocks increases, there will be more pork supply in the market, and the price will remain in a stable range or even decline; When the number of live pigs decreases, the quantity of pork supplied by the market will also decrease, so the price of pork will also increase.

At present, the price of pork continues to rise, which is related to the fact that the number of live pigs is not enough to meet the market supply. This imbalance between supply and demand makes consumers need to spend more money on pork for family life. After a long time, the cost of family life will increase significantly.

In order to alleviate the shortage of pork supply, the state will also put in reserve meat in time; This has played an important role in ensuring market supply and stabilizing market prices. When the price of pork continues to rise, buying reserve meat is the first choice for many families, and because of the existence of reserve meat, the price of pork can be slowed down and sold in a stable price range.

So personally, I think it is possible that the price of pork will rise to 25 yuan/Jin by the end of the year. There is no need for us to panic and start hoarding pork.

We should know that the market price of pork is constantly changing, which may be beneficial to consumers or unfavorable to consumers; Even if pork prices continue to rise, there are national macro-controls, which keep pork prices in a stable range and will not let pork continue to rise.
