Introduction: according to the report of Japan economic news on June 26, there is a new difficulty in the Japanese meat industry at present, that is, the manufacturers operating pork and chicken have caused huge stock pressure due to the mistakes in judgment After the first case of BSE was found in Japan in September 2001, another three cases occurred in succession, and the meat market was severely impacted When consumers talk about the color change of beef, the number of consumers has plummeted, and the troubled beef dealers have not been relieved At the same time, the popularity of pork and chicken has been restored as consumers use the two kinds of meat as substitutes for beef As a result, Japan's pork and chicken importers, wholesalers and retailers have taken action to invest in their own business activities But it is also because of this that we have laid the seeds for the dilemma of overstocking in the future From the autumn of 2001 to the beginning of this year, chicken consumption in Japan increased by 30% to 40% compared with the same period of 2000, but now there are obvious signs The total amount of imported and domestic chicken as beef substitutes has been reduced to the annual level, i.e less than 140000 tons per month Japanese consumers are not so afraid of the safety of beef, and the consumption of beef market has recovered The consumption of pork is similar to beef in the form of consumption, and the range of use is larger than that of chicken The operation of importers, wholesalers and retailers is relatively loose Sometimes the market winds move slowly, sometimes unexpectedly fast Dealers have overestimated chicken and pork as substitutes for beef The purchase volume is too large, and the inventory pressure increases significantly With the increase of inventory, the drop of wholesale price makes dealers gasp for breath Statistics show that in the half year from the end of last year to June this year, the price of domestic chicken in Japan is bound to have dropped by 15%, and its loss cannot be said to be small From the beginning of this year to now, the price of chicken imported from abroad has dropped by about 40%, and the business risk is increasing For Japan's chicken and pork importers, the event of "camouflage" of the import origin logo has also brought a lot of troubles Because the adverse impact it has brought still exists today, it is difficult to eliminate consumers' doubts in the short term In addition, poultry infectious diseases of chicken produced in the United States and China also hinder chicken consumption in Japan Pork consumption growth associated with increased beef consumption is good news for the Japanese meat market However, after the wholesale price of pork, which is mainly made in Japan, rose, the growth rate of pork for personal consumption in Japan slowed down, making the operation more difficult It is not so easy for the beef wholesalers in Tokyo Metropolitan Area, which consume the most pork and beef, to make up for the losses in the past beef business by relying on the pork income with relatively low operating price Summer is a time when Japanese consumers are willing to supplement physical consumption with pork with better taste In addition, chicken is also the kind of light that Japanese like But the current consumption growth situation is very ideal, because there is inventory pressure caused by business mistakes, and the consumption growth is also very slow (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
