CCTV news:Recently, pork prices have risen. In response, the National Development and Reform Commission held a policy briefing on the 6th. Relevant experts introduced that the pork market supply in the second half of the year is generally guaranteed, and pork prices do not have the basis for a sustained and substantial increase.
According to expert analysis, from the perspective of supply, from January to May this year, the number of breeding sows in the country continued to be within a reasonable range. From the perspective of demand, July and August are still in the off-season for pork consumption, and there will be no surge in demand in the short term. From the perspective of breeding costs, in June, the price of live pig feed monitored by the National Development and Reform Commission was 3.54 yuan/kg, a drop of 9.3% compared with March, and the cost of feed continued to decrease.
Zhou Lin, associate researcher at the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs:The overall judgment is that the current stock of live pigs that can reproduce sows is in a relatively reasonable range, and the supply of pork in the later period is guaranteed, and there is no basis for the sharp rise in pork market prices in the second half of the year.
According to experts, with the further implementation of national price stabilization and regulatory policies, the market will also undergo a certain degree of self-regulation, and pork prices will fall back in the long run.
Liu Zhicheng, Director of the Market Research Institute of the China Academy of Macroeconomics:The current sharp rise in the price of live pigs has overdrawn the rising space for a period of time in the future to a certain extent. With the entry of slaughtering pigs and secondary fattening pigs into the market in the future, prices may drop to a certain extent.
In addition, experts suggest that pig farmers should maintain a normal slaughtering rhythm, do not over-press the slaughter and fatten them, and avoid market risks.
