The price of excess pork is higher. The price of meat from the five flowers was 27. 8 yuan per pound and ridges 23. 8 and 25. 8 yuan per pound respectively.

As the price of pork continues to rise, end consumption is affected. According to the pork seller at the beijing white stack market: “the meat is rising every day, and we are going with wholesale prices, and the price of pork is rising continuously, and sales are really not as good as before.”
However, ms. Lee, who was buying five flowers at the supermarket, said: “the small amount of domestic purchases is not felt to have had a significant impact, but the price of pork is indeed the highest ever seen and hopefully not to continue rising.”
Reason for increase: reduced supply of pig-crash-producing pigs
Summer is generally a light season for pork sales, but this year it's rising. Why? “the main reason for the increase in the price of pork is the decrease in the supply of raw pigs. It has been almost a year since the outbreak of the african swine plague, and there has been a marked decline in the production of raw and fertile pigs in some parts of the country, and the supply of raw pigs has declined, and the price of pork has naturally risen.”
Tang koo, director of the market and informatization division of the ministry of agriculture and rural development, has also responded in recent days, and the higher prices of pigs are mainly affected by the african swine plague. In october of last year, 400 counties monitored by the ministry of agriculture and rural development had seen a similar decrease of 5. 9 per cent in the stock of female pigs, which had already exceeded the 5 per cent warning line, followed by a monthly increase in the decline to 26. 7 per cent in june. According to the pattern of pig production, it took about 10 months between the pregnancy of the mother and the birth of the pig and the production of the pig, and last october the basic capacity of the pig was reduced, which led to a reduction in the supply of the pig in june and july this year, with prices rising steadily。
Future trends in pork prices: shocks rising
Recently, several provinces, such as zhejiang and guangdong, have managed to stabilize the price of pork and guarantee its supply. Zhejiang provincial finance provides a seed subsidy of $500 per head of eligible farm size. In guangdong province, “ten pigs” have been issued, and the minimum number of raw pigs has been included in the “basket” examination. The shandong provincial finance has also put in place a package of support policies to guarantee stable production and market supply of pigs。
So, does policy add-up stabilize pork prices? In response, wang yao-chul said: “the capacity for pig production is now becoming tense, and it is true that there are some incentives and constraints that need to be put in place. However, the willingness of farmers to recover is still low, so the effectiveness of the policy remains to be seen.”
Can't get it up. What's the price of pork in the year? Tangqué expects that the demand for and supply of pork will be further tightened in the second half of the year, and that the price of pigs will continue to increase under pressure. Wang yao-chul also stated: “it is expected that, until the end of the year, prices of raw pigs and pork will continue to show an upward trend of shock”
“in the light of our current research, the production capacity of pigs continues to shrink. While policies to encourage recovery exist in many places, their effectiveness is not yet ideal. It is expected that by the end of the year pig production capacity will have been reduced by a further portion. Then the price of raw pigs and the price of pork may have to rise again.” wang yao added
