Breeding companies claim that selling a pig loses 300 yuan. What is the price of meat during the Spring Festival...

Pork is one of the main products in the "vegetable basket" of ordinary people.

Sufficient supply of pork during the Spring Festival, prices fluctuated at low levels

The reporter visited the Xinfadi market in Beijing and learned that after the Laba Festival in the lunar calendar, the average daily market volume of pork has increased significantly, but the price of meat has been slowly declining

Zhang Hongzhi, a pork merchant at Beijing's Xinfadi Market, said that it is now about 1 yuan per kilogram less than some time ago

Liu Tong, a market analyst at Xinfadi in Beijing, said that the increase in the supply of white striped pigs exceeds the increase in demand, so the price will drop to a certain extent

The data shows that the average price of white striped pigs in Xinfadi market on January 21 was 16.

The reporter learned that since the second half of last year, the national pork price has generally fluctuated between 24 yuan and 29 yuan per kilogram, which is mainly due to the increase in the supply of live pigs.

Xin Guochang, deputy director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: During the Spring Festival, pork supply is sufficient.

Concentrated slaughtering before the festival, some breeding enterprises suffered losses

The increase in pork supply is mainly due to the accelerated recovery of live pig production last year.

Wang Chenggang is the head of a pig breeding enterprise in Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong Province.

According to reports, the high price of live pigs will gradually fall in 2021, from about 36 yuan per kilogram in January to about 17 yuan in December.

Wang Chenggang, head of a pig breeding enterprise in Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong Province: It is now in a state of loss, with a loss of about 300 yuan per pig

Reporter: Do you have to sell even if you lose money now?

Wang Chenggang, head of a pig breeding enterprise in Changle County, Weifang City, Shandong Province: If you lose money, you won't sell it, and the price after the Spring Festival is even more unpredictable

The reporter learned that in June 2021, after the production of live pigs resumed, there was a phased surplus of live pigs.

Xia Chenfeng, an analyst in the pig industry of Rongxin Internet: Some listed pig enterprises have a breeding cost of about 18 yuan/kg to 20 yuan/kg.

The inventory of reproductive sows across the country will be adjusted in an orderly manner to avoid ups and downs in live pig production

According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in November and December 2021, the number of 5-month-old medium and large pigs in large-scale pig farms nationwide will increase by 26% and 28% year-on-year respectively.

The reporter learned that China raises half of the world's pigs, and the breeding volume is large, the production inertia is also large, and the regulation of the pig industry is more difficult

Xin Guochang, deputy director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: We have determined the national control target of 41 million breeding sows, and delineated red, yellow and green early warning areas according to the actual changes in the number of breeding sows.
Corresponding control measures are taken in different regions, and these control measures are decomposed into provinces, cities and counties
.

Xin Guochang said that this kind of live pig production capacity control is linked with the frozen pork reserve control that has been carried out before, and is forming a control mechanism for the production side and the market side to work together
.
In the interview, the reporter also learned that after a period of time, the effect of production capacity control has initially appeared.
The person in charge of a pig feed enterprise in Shandong told the reporter that the feed they supplied to large-scale breeding enterprises began to decline
.

Xin Guochang, deputy director of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: Reduce production capacity in an orderly manner, because excessive production capacity increases the risk of accumulation.
In June 2021, the number of breeding sows nationwide will reach 45.
64 million.
A reduction of 2.
35 million heads
.
We believe that if this trend is adjusted, the regulation target of 41 million head may be achieved in the first quarter of this year, and the sows will be stabilized, and there will be no major ups and downs in live pig production
