The price of imported pork and chicken in Japanese market fell

Introduction: according to the report of Japan economic news on April 3, the imported meat food accounts for a considerable proportion in the Japanese market Japanese market likes to use imported pork in fried pork chop and other edible methods At present, the wholesale price of pork and chicken imported from abroad in Japan has fallen sharply Mad cow disease has weakened consumers' confidence in beef, leading to strong demand for substitutes such as pork and chicken in the Japanese market, but now there are signs of weakness in pork and chicken sales Since the wholesale market of refrigerated pork imported from the United States in the bulk trading center has begun to decline, since the late January "snow print food" made a hand in the problem of pork origin, the price of imported refrigerated pork has dropped by 10.7% Since Japanese consumers learned that the problem of "camouflage the origin" of meat products is far more serious than they thought, they are calling for a complete re identification of the relatively high price meat products such as famous brand pork Moreover, the demand for meat has shifted from low-cost imports to high-cost domestic products Another reason for the decline in the price of imported meat is that those who have ever worked against imported meat and pretended to be domestic meat are focusing on the correct identification of domestic meat, while they have no time to pay attention to the phenomenon that imported meat is ignored In the Japanese market, the wholesale prices of domestic pork and chicken have been relatively firm On April 2, at the central wholesale market in Tokyo, the specification of "living superior quality" in pork segmentation (weighted average) reached 504 yen per kilogram, up 16.9% from the end of January Since March, the problem of "camouflage origin" has reduced the wholesale price of chicken leg meat imported from the United States by 11.3% Over the same period, the wholesale price of chicken leg meat produced in Japan fell only 3.5% In the past month or so, Japan's imported and domestic chicken markets have been weak due to the occurrence of "Quannong", "Marubeni" and other disguised origin events But similar to pork, imported chicken fell much more than domestic chicken The mad cow disease scare once made pork and chicken replace beef consumption Especially in the autumn of 2001, the consumption of pork and chicken once expanded by 20% - 30% The quantity of imported pork and chicken from abroad (except for the United States where avian influenza occurs) in Japan increased significantly But after peaking in November / December last year, the trend began to decline Although the beginning of each year is the off-season of chicken and pork consumption, the problem of "camouflage the origin" also plays a significant negative role It is estimated that the consumption of pork and chicken in Japan will be reduced by about 10% this year compared with last year (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
