It's the best winter to eat lamb when it's cold. A bowl of hot lamb soup is warm, its hands and feet are warm and it's full of bones. Recently, the sheep market throughout the country has burst. I don't know if any of my close friends have found out。
So, how's the lamb market going? How long will the increase last? Let's look at the investigation。
The season of consumption is coming
In the shopping hall for cattle and goats in the wholesale market in beijing, a number of vendors told journalists that the prices of lamb and last year's comparison were actually rising, although sales were not affected。
Mr. Ma: it's $35, $6 per pound, 23, 4 per pound two or three months ago, and last year it was $28, 9 per pound。
According to data from the department of livestock and veterinary medicine of the ministry of agriculture and rural development, the price of lamb in february this year was $70. 79 per kilogram. In march-april, consumption demand declined after the festival and prices fell slightly. From may onwards, the market price of lambs rose continuously, to $77. 21 per kilogram in october, an increase of 3. 5 per cent in the ring, or 21. 6 per cent in the same year。
Consumption replaces the market for lamb
My country, which is the largest producer of lamb, has steadily increased its production in recent years and has been the world's largest producer. Why is the price of lamb rising this year, and what are the returns for pastoralists
The herd barndoun received a huge harvest this year on the grasslands, and the ordos sheep he bred were able to eat meat and cut wool. The lamb alone is sold at an average price of $2,300 more than last year, with more than 200 adult sheep and lambs sold in total, and this year's income is considerable。
In the city of ordos, inner mongolia, the utterine flag herder baindu: this is the best market in recent years, and lambs are sold on top of their heads at an average of $1,000 to $1,200 per lamb, and adult goats, for example, 50 pounds this year, can sell 1,600。
In ordos, there are still many pastoralists who are as happy as baindu, and in recent years there have been about 12 million local sheep fields, with steady yields。
The ordos city of mongolia's flag-bearers are no match: last year's lambs were all disposed of, with a lamb of $800 and 80 lambs sold for $64,000。
Zhou yong, chairman of the board of directors of the sylin guelleh sheep and livestock company, also stated that the sheep market was still stable and that both supply and marketing were excellent。
The data show that, in january-september this year, the country produced 3. 3 million tons of lamb, an increase of 2. 3 per cent over the same period, while the cumulative import of 289,000 tons of lamb in january-september, an increase of 16. 8 per cent over the same period. Why is the market supplied with sufficient supplies and the price of lamb still rising
With regard to recent fluctuations in the price of lamb, wang zhimin, a researcher at the institute of agricultural economics and development of the chinese academy of agricultural sciences, concluded that it was mainly due to the sharp rise in the price of raw pigs, in which case people were looking for alternatives, of which lamb was one。
There's a lot of income for sheep. High
The high price of lamb and the increased motivation of the sweeter herdsmen also guarantee future supplies of lamb。
The herdsmen's bank account for the journalists, $5,600 a year ago, went up to 800, and he expected to sell 900 next year, so he bought another 20 females at $1,300 each。
In the city of ordos, inner mongolia, there's no such thing: i bought another 20 patches this year, i bought 20 sheep from outside, and at least 20 lambs。
Although pastoralists are willing to supplement the fences, there are only a limited number of them to protect grasslands. At present, sheep farming techniques are being promoted locally to increase the number of female lambs. Since 2017, each of the baindu family's females has produced two lambs。
Yuan jun, chief of the livestock section of the agricultural and livestock department in ordos, mongolia: with some technology, we have a particularly high double-prevalence rate of 150 to 160 per cent。
The yuan army told journalists that in ordos, lambs were sold mainly for fertilizer, thus ensuring both supply and protecting pasture ecology. In the past two years, the production of lamb in ordos has been roughly balanced at around 80,000 tons, and the price of lamb will not continue to rise significantly in the future。
According to li guoxiang, researcher at the institute of rural development of the chinese academy of social sciences, sheep are concentrated in winter, or in stocks, and, in the absence of extreme weather, transport is difficult and, under normal conditions, lamb may return at a certain point。
