According to the official website of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China, pork prices continued to rise sharply in July, mainly due to the widening gap between supply and demand of live pigs. In the first half of the year, the number of live pigs in most parts of northern China decreased, and the tight supply led to a sharp increase in the prices of live pigs and pork; In the middle and late period, the prices of live pigs and pork fluctuated at a high level due to the widening gap between supply and demand for suitable newborn pigs and the decline in terminal consumption caused by high temperature weather.

However, the reporter recently found in Cangnan Lingximen Farmers' Market that it was nearly noon. In the past, all the pork in metropolis was sold out, but now there are still many meat stalls. Business owners said that they would adjust the purchase volume every day according to the sales situation.

In addition, according to Yan Shengdong, deputy head of the Agricultural Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Cangnan County, the local seasonal eating habits led to the sluggish pork consumption in Cangnan, so there was no shortage of supply. As for when the price will come down, it may take some time. ? Fortunately, in the face of the general increase of pork in China, the the State Council executive meeting held on August 2 1 determined the measures to stabilize pig production and pork supply and price. The meeting identified five specific measures, including comprehensive measures to restore pig production; Require all localities to cancel the prohibition and restriction of pig raising outside laws and regulations; Develop large-scale farming and support farmers to raise pigs; Strengthen the construction of animal epidemic prevention system and improve the ability of disease prevention and control; Ensure the supply of pork, etc. In addition, regarding Bian Xiao's plan of "counting spareribs to buy", some local colleagues said that sweet and sour spareribs could be wrapped, and some colleagues gave Bian Xiao advice that it was really warm to eat seafood instead.
