On August 23, the average price of eggs at the Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market was 10.

Monitoring data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs shows that since August, the price of eggs nationwide has continued to rise

Why did the price of eggs rise? Is the supply guaranteed? How will the price go later? With these questions, the reporter interviewed relevant experts

Why the price of eggs is going up

After New Year's Day this year, the wholesale price of eggs in the country has continued to rise, from 8.

In mid-to-early January, the national egg price rose sharply, mainly due to tight supply

"The recent increase in egg prices is the result of a combination of many factors

From the perspective of supply, the high temperature weather in August caused a decline in laying hens, and the egg market was seasonally tight

Guaranteed market supply

"Price increases are often due to insufficient supply.

In the first half of this year, there was a phenomenon worthy of attention in layer breeding, that is, the stock of layer hens continued to decline

However, the profitability of layer breeding has improved

Zhu Ning said that the current stock level of laying hens is still at the upper-middle level in the same period of previous years, and the national egg supply is guaranteed

How will egg prices go in the future

At present, global commodity prices continue to be high, will domestic egg prices continue to rise? Industry experts think it will not

Zhu Ning said that before the National Day, egg prices were mainly affected by the demand for eggs, because the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day approached, the purchase of eggs from food processing plants increased, and September was the school season, and the demand for fresh eggs increased

Liu Tong, manager of the statistics department of Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, told reporters that last week the price of eggs in the Beijing market had already loosened and dropped

A laying hen farm told reporters that after the price of eggs rose in August, the eggs can be sold for a few dimes per catty for one day, and they can make tens of thousands of yuan in profits a day

"The egg price will continue to run at a high level in a short time

Zhu Ning believes that in order to ensure a stable supply in the market, it is necessary to allow layer farmers to obtain reasonable profits, and the price fluctuations and fluctuations are not good
.
He suggested that farms (households) obtain early warning information on the egg market through websites, WeChat public accounts, etc.
, and adjust the stock of layer hens in a timely manner to avoid the impact of market risks
.
At the same time, in order to ensure the stable and healthy development of the industry, the government must further improve the emergency response mechanism, strengthen the construction of the policy system, increase the participation of layer practitioners in futures, and improve the early warning system for supply and demand in the egg market
