    Introduction: according to the reporter, from this spring festival to June this year, the retail price of pork has risen by 1.5 yuan on average Before, the price of grade 1 meat with more than 5 yuan had risen to 6.5-7 yuan in June Since June, the price of meat has soared and risen by more than 1 yuan in only two months In just over half a year, the price of meat has risen nearly 70% News from all walks of life shows that the price of meat in Chongqing, Xi'an, Nanjing, Harbin, Guangzhou and other places is rising by 40%, and a wave of rising pork prices is sweeping the country Who benefited from the reporter came to Shuangshun vegetable market in Funan New District of Chengdu and talked about the price rise of pork? A businessman surnamed Liu told the reporter helplessly, "we don't want to increase the price of pork either If we can't make this rise, we have to lose money." The price hike didn't make the butchers happy: the price of meat should not go up, and it's still profitable to sell more meat every day "The price of pork has gone up You haven't made money Who has made it?" The reporter was puzzled by the displeasure of the butchers "Of course, our source of purchase is slaughterhouse and the people who collect live pigs Then the reporter got in touch with Chengdu Jufeng Food Co., Ltd., one of the three pig slaughtering and processing enterprises A person in charge of the company told reporters that the profit of pig slaughtering enterprises mainly comes from the price difference between pig purchase and pork wholesale Because the cost of raising pigs is too high now, the same high purchase price of pigs has "eaten" most of the profits According to the person in charge, the slaughterhouse is actually between the pig farmer and the butcher, and the real market profit is taken away by the two: "a pig of about 100 kg, the purchase price is 900 yuan, and the sale price is about 900 yuan." It seems that the increase in pork prices is not due to the increase in slaughterhouse prices The butcher didn't get profits from it, and the pig processing enterprises didn't get big profits from it, so who exactly gets huge profits from it? The reporter interviewed Huang Yanlin, who has been engaged in pig purchase for a long time "It's hard to get pigs this year," she told reporters "As soon as the pork goes up, it's often hard to find a pig farmer At least three or four pig dealers will bargain, and the price of the pig farmer will be higher than three." Huang Yanlin said that business was good last year and it was very easy to collect pigs At that time, you could earn 10 to 20 yuan by collecting a pig "Now, you can only earn one or two yuan by collecting a pig, at least five jiao." In addition to the growing difficulty of pig harvest, there is also an important problem, that is, the purchase price of pig has increased from 4.4 yuan / kg last year to 9 yuan / kg at present, and the price has more than doubled Yan Zhibin, a big pig farmer in Shuangliu County, said that it needs more than 300 yuan to buy a weaned piglet of more than 30 kg, and the price of an adult pig of 80 kg to 90 kg that has been cultivated in the past is only sold at this price It seems that in this wave of rising pig prices, pig farmers should be the biggest beneficiaries of this rise Why is it rising Guo Xiaoming, director and researcher of the Institute of agricultural economics, Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, thinks that the direct reason for the rise of pork price is the rise of pig price, which comes from the rise of upstream food and feed and the periodic shortage of pig As for Sichuan, the external transfer of a large number of pork is also one of the main reasons for the sharp rise In addition, local blockade and transportation The increase in the cost of losing also contributed to the rise According to the analysis of the insiders, in the first half of last year, due to the impact of SARS, the logistics was not smooth, resulting in a large number of pigs that reached the specifications for export could not be shipped out in time Many farmers gave up raising pigs due to large losses, or slaughtered or sold a large number of pigs on hand, and a batch of piglets were not supplemented in time, resulting in a decrease in the phased actual number of pigs on hand After SARS, some areas fasted wild animals, which to a certain extent increased the demand for pork The relative reduction of phased meat sources led to the rise of pig prices and affected the meat prices According to the reporter, two-thirds of the meat produced in the slaughterhouses will be sold to other places In this way, the slaughterhouse's profit is mainly from the external part of pork This has also contributed to the increase of pork export this year, thus increasing the price of meat The reporter learned that the spring production situation is good all over the country this year After November, the newly produced corn in the South and North will be listed in large areas The feed cost price will start to fall and the meat price will also fall The same is expected by the urban dispatching team of Chengdu Municipal Bureau of statistics "Chengdu has established a city level important commodity pig reserve system, including pork In case of any abnormality, the government will adopt macro-control, put the reserve pork on the market, and stabilize prices," said the person in charge of Chengdu Trade and grain administration Li Rong, director of the agricultural price department of Chengdu Price Bureau, also said: "we are carrying out relevant investigation and research Once the price of pork seriously exceeds the actual capacity of the people, we will recommend the government to take corresponding measures."
