Why farmers are calm when the price of pigs falls

Introduction: according to the monitoring, since the middle of November, the price of pork in the border between Anhui and Zhejiang has begun to decline For example, the price of pork in Jixi County has recently dropped from 18 yuan to 16 yuan per kilogram, down 12.5%, and the price of pig has also dropped from 9.4 to 9.6 yuan per kilogram to 8.4 to 8.6 yuan, down 10.5% According to the author's investigation, many farmers responded peacefully Why does this happen? First, there are reasons for the price reduction Although the prices of pigs and pork have declined relatively significantly in the short term, this decline is not as big as before, but a normal adjustment of market prices According to the analysis, the price of pigs and pork dropped this time On the one hand, a large number of autumn grain was listed after harvest, and the seasonal return of feed price drove the price of pigs to drop; on the other hand, the pigs that had been supplemented in the early stage filled the market gap after being put on the market, which significantly increased the number of pigs on hand, and the contradiction of the relative shortage of pork supply was alleviated to a certain extent In addition, the peak season for slaughtering New Year's pigs will come In order to catch up with the slaughter of new year's pigs, some farmers will sell the existing pigs on hand for a little more cash, and also spontaneously adjust the selling price of new year's pigs The farmers have a good idea of such price adjustment, so they don't worry too much about it Second, both sides can benefit In recent years, although people's living standards have been greatly improved, the majority of people still live below the low and medium level In this group, their living arrangements are actually in the stage of "counting flowers" Although pork is an indispensable food in this group's daily life, it is not irreplaceable like salt In the past few months, when the price of pork was high, many consumers seldom went to the meat stall Recently, the price of pork per kilogram has dropped by two yuan, and the number of people who spend money on buying meat has increased In Jixi County's farmers' market, the author found that the supply of pork per day has increased by more than 20% since the price of pork has been reduced No matter how high the price of meat is, if the pork can't be sold out, how can it be made without money? With the price falling, consumers can afford pork, and farmers can sell it when they raise pigs The increase of pork market consumption in turn further stimulates the development of pig industry Only with the market, farmers can earn money by raising pigs This is another reason why farmers are calm about the fall in pork prices
