In 2002, raising cattle can make money

Introduction: since 1996, the relative surplus of national yellow cattle production caused the decline of national yellow cattle price, it began to recover slowly at the end of 1999, and began to rise sharply last year The price of live cattle increased from 3.0 yuan / jin to 4-4.5 yuan / Jin, with a strong momentum After the investigation, the author thinks that there are still two years of high price and four to six years of parity in the price of cattle, and the benefit of cattle raising will not fall greatly by 2010 The main reasons are as follows: 1 Cattle are singleton animals, with long gestation period, low fecundity, easy to kill and difficult to raise 2 With the popularization of agricultural mechanization, farmers' dependence on cattle is weakened, and farmers' cattle farming is gradually reduced 3 According to statistics, in 1999, the per capita beef consumption in China was 2.82kg, less than 1 / 3 of that in the world With the improvement of people's living standard, the consumption of beef, a low-fat, high-energy and high protein food, will increase 4 After China's accession to the WTO, the price of herbivores in China is lower than the international price The international market will turn its attention to the beef market of China, a "green beef producer", so as to promote the export of beef 5 The price of cattle has gone up Some farmers want to raise cattle, but due to the high investment, they turn to other breeding, and the growth of cattle raising is limited The above factors are the main reason why the price of cattle has risen in the past two years, while the quantity has declined The relationship between supply and demand of beef will inevitably improve the efficiency of cattle raising Therefore, the author thinks that the benefit of cattle raising will not fall in a long time in the future.
