Can the "rice bag" and "vegetable basket" products have sufficient quantities and stable prices?

In recent times, the supply and price changes of food, vegetables and livestock products have received widespread attention

Sufficient total vegetable supply

Recently, vegetable prices have risen in many places, especially leafy vegetables such as spinach and lettuce

Tang Ke, director of the Department of Market and Information Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that this was mainly due to the decrease in the number of listings due to the severe weather, the increase in the price of agricultural materials, the increase in transportation and circulation costs, and the lack of electricity supply in some northern provinces that produce vegetables.

According to reports, after comprehensive research and judgment, the country’s vegetable production is generally normal at present and during the “two festivals” period.

Tang Ke said that the current vegetable area in the field is 103 million mu, an increase of 4 million mu compared to the same period last year.

"From the perspective of varieties, the area of ​​solanaceous fruits and root vegetables is currently increasing.

In the next step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will do a good job in the production of vegetables from the "Southern Vegetables Transported to the North" base and facilities in the north, expand market supply, guide various localities to rationally arrange the variety structure and planting scale, and develop fast-growing leafy vegetables and sprouts according to local conditions

A solid foundation for food supply and price stability

Recently, there has been a panic buying of rice and noodles in some areas

Liu Lihua, deputy director of the Plant Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that China’s grains are divided into summer grains, early rice and autumn grains

"The country has increased and decreased, and the increase is more than the decrease.

It is understood that the current grain inventory in China is at a historical high, especially the two major ration varieties of wheat and rice account for more than 70% of the total inventory

Regarding the impact of continuous rain in the early period on autumn and winter planting, Liu Lihua said that as of the 3rd, 83% of the country’s wheat had been sown, and the progress was slightly slower than normal by 3.

The supply of livestock products is relatively abundant

The fourth quarter entered the peak consumption season, and the pork market price rebounded, which aroused public concern

"The main reason for the recent rebound in pork prices is consumption-driven, and the fundamentals of relatively loose market supply have not changed

He said that with the joint efforts of all parties, the production of live pigs had completely resumed in the second quarter of this year

It is understood that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will closely monitor the changes in the number of reproductive sows, issue early warnings in a timely manner, and link up and down to stabilize pig production

Regarding the supply of eggs and other livestock and poultry products, Chen Guanghua said that after the National Day, the price of eggs has risen due to factors such as increased consumer demand and rising breeding costs
.
With the recent start of production of new laying hens and the reduction of eliminated laying hens, egg production will increase simultaneously, and subsequent market supply will be guaranteed
.

"Since this year, the country’s animal husbandry production has developed steadily, and the market supply of major livestock products is relatively abundant
.
It is expected that this year’s meat and milk production may hit a record high, and the production of poultry and eggs will remain stable, ensuring a good market supply during the New Year’s Day and Spring Festival.
