Retail investors encounter a ferocious pig cycle, and each loses more than 1,000 yuan

 　　Two days ago, I called home and learned that a few fat pigs from my uncle’s house next door had already been slaughtered, at the cost of a loss of more than 1,000 yuan each
.

　　The fourth uncle is a typical small farmer-type production family
.
In the past, after the Spring Festival, he would go out to work and do some physical work to subsidize his family
.
But now that he is over six years old and lacks any skills, the road of migrant workers is slowly getting nowhere
.
Fortunately, he has the diligence that a typical Chinese farmer has
.
Over the past few years, there have been too many people going out in the village, and large areas of cultivated land have been abandoned.
Many people are very willing to lend the land to him for free to grow the land in order to maintain the fertility of the land and not be swallowed by weeds
.
In addition, the infrastructure in the countryside has been improved a lot, especially the mechanical farming road leads to every field, which greatly saves the physical consumption of farmers when working

　　Due to well-known reasons, the price of pork in the first two years has been pulled up to unprecedented heights
.
In the words of the fourth uncle, a red ticket can only be exchanged for a narrow half-fat in the town, but in the past, it can be exchanged for a large buttock-in our case, this is the most precious of pigs.
Part
.
For villagers with low incomes, the impact of the price increase of pork on their lives is not small
.
However, there are two sides to the matter.
The high price of pigs is a big plus for farmers who raise pigs.
When the market is at its best, a pig can make more than 1,000 yuan

　　I heard from the family that just after the Spring Festival this year, the fourth uncle picked four piglets back from the set.
Although each was only more than 10 catties, he paid a price of 1,800 yuan each
.
From today's perspective, this is the most failed "investment" of the fourth uncle this year, but the situation at the time was completely different
.
During the Spring Festival, the maximum of pork is more than 30 yuan per catty.
It will cost a lot of money to eat meat in a year; but the profit of raising a pig is very high.
According to the market at the time, the profit of four pigs can be used to offset his work abroad.
Three months' salary
.
However, he had no idea what a violent cyclical fluctuation was waiting for him, so that in the end he could not even get the piglet money back

　　Soon after a few piglets were bought, the price of pork started a downward trend, while the price of piglets at that time remained strong for some time
.
If the fourth uncle sold the piglet decisively at that time, he could stop the loss in time, but he was obviously unwilling and didn't know that he could do so
.
Take the major live pig futures listed on DCE as an example.
On March 2 this year, it hit a record high of 28,400 yuan/ton, and then it fell all the way.
As of September 3, it had fallen to 15,880 yuan/ton
.
The price of pork has fallen more drastically than the price of futures.
Everyone has witnessed a drastic change from 30 per catty to 13 per catty in half a year, and now it has even fallen below ten yuan
.
According to family members, when the price of pork was cut in the early summer, many people began to "reverse operations" and buy pork sausages
.
Their ideas are also very simple.
They didn't dare to do more for 30 yuan/jin at the beginning, but now it's 15 yuan, why don't you hurry up and buy more?AUC China Feed Industry Information Network-Based on feed, serving animal husbandry

　　More than 20 years ago, as an underage, I already felt the power of a pig cycle
.
It was a summer, and my sows just had a litter of piglets.
According to the market at the time, it was just enough to cover the tuition fees for my brothers in the new semester
.
But luck only caught up with half.
My father went to the fair and sold half of the piglets at a high price, which solved my brother’s tuition problem.
The second time he went to the fair five days later, the price of pigs dropped like an avalanche, and my tuition fee.
About less than half was solved
.
At that time, I was happily thinking that if I didn’t collect enough tuition, could I continue to play in the fields without going to school? It was just too long, but I forgot how to collect the tuition in the end

　　About ten years ago, Ding Lei of NetEase started raising pigs, and many entrepreneurs followed suit
.
But now it seems that their actions are somewhat of a performance art flavor
.
Soon after, the big-eyed state-owned WISCO also announced its entry into the pig industry
.
At that time, some people said that Wuhan Iron & Steel's main steel business is not easy to make money, and that you want to change your mind and want to do some easy work
.
They all underestimated the difficulty of raising pigs-today's world is no longer in the old days when a pig shed, water and feed could make money
.
Later, pig-raising companies landed in A shares one after another, and their performance also fluctuated with the fluctuation of the cycle
.
When a term called "African Swine Fever" became familiar to the people across the country, and when officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs called on everyone to eat more pork in response to the rapid decline in pork prices, people finally discovered that the previous cycles are facing this time.
How trivial
