The price of pork in Zhejiang province continues to fall, showing the phenomenon of killing sows

Introduction: according to the survey data of Zhejiang Provincial Urban investigation team, the pork price in Zhejiang Province has been declining since March The pork price in May was 10% lower than that in February and 5.8% lower than that in the same period last year For example, the price of live pigs in Longquan City dropped significantly, to 5.6 yuan per kilogram, 17.6% lower than the previous months, 28.2% lower than the same period last year; the price of meat in Pinghu City and other places fell to 4 yuan per kilogram at one time Affected by the continuous decline of pork price, the risk of pig breeding has increased significantly and the loss is serious, which makes the whole province's pig production decline in an all-round way According to the survey data, by the end of May, the total number of live pigs in the province had declined by 4.7% compared with the same period last year, among which the number of male and female pigs and piglets had declined by 6.1% and 7.7% respectively, and the number of meat pigs had declined by 2.8% Due to the decrease of pork price, the price of piglets also plummeted For example, the price of piglets in Longquan fell by 30% - 40% In some areas, the price of piglets fell to 3.6 yuan per kilogram, which has affected sows Some parts of the province have already slaughtered sows The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: 1 Due to the excessive feeding of sows, there is an oversupply of piglets, a situation of raising more and losing more, resulting in a sharp drop in piglet prices 2 Affected by the "lean meat essence" event, the demand for pork consumption of residents decreased significantly, which further intensified the contradiction between supply and demand (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
