Introduction: Xinhua news agency, Montevideo, Nov 13 (reporter Hu Jikang): according to the data, in January this year, the average price of mutton in the international market was 3200 US dollars per ton, jumping to 3400 US dollars per ton in July Although it fell in August, it still remained at 3300 us dollars per ton The above price level is significantly higher than the average price of $2600 per ton in 2001, which is the same as the average price in 1997 The increase in mutton prices is due to the decline in mutton production According to a FAO report, mutton production in developed countries will decline this year This is the second consecutive year that mutton production in developed countries has declined The main reason for the decrease of Australian mutton production is the fierce competition of live sheep export, coupled with the severe drought, the shortage of feed supply, the serious fat loss of mutton sheep, and the decrease of meat output rate of each sheep New Zealand and North America saw a reduction in sheep slaughter Only mutton production in EU countries has picked up slightly, but it is still far from the level before FMD Although mutton production in developed countries has declined, the demand for mutton in the world is increasing, especially in Mexico, Canada and China This situation has driven up the price of mutton in the international market.
