Japanese market cooling pork prices continue to rise

Introduction: according to the report of Japan economic news on September 21, Japan is still wary of imported pork so far, lest the introduction of foot-and-mouth disease and other diseases may cause another disaster to the meat market that is just beginning to recover But judging from the recent trend of pork market, the price of chilled meat is still rising Since August of this year, due to the implementation of emergency restrictions on pork import in Japan, the number of imported chilled meat has been significantly reduced In particular, compared with frozen pork, the shelf life of chilled pork is shorter, so there is a shortage of pork supply in some parts, and then the market purchase desire rises rapidly Moreover, the market price of imported chilled pork will be further increased in the future In Tokyo, American tenderloin is now 730 yen to 790 yen per kilogram, up 10 yen from last week Compared with the end of July before the implementation of import emergency safeguard measures, the price has increased by about 10% Us rib prices have also risen to 870 yen to 920 yen per kilogram, up 20 yen from last week Japanese consumers are accustomed to eating meat in summer to supplement their physical fitness, and the market demand is rising Autumn is also a time of "big appetite" At this time, however, when the number of imported pork falls, the relationship between supply and demand will naturally lose balance However, it is worth noting that there is still a considerable amount of frozen pork stock imported before July this year, which may play a role in restraining the unilaterally rising price of chilled pork.
