The price of eggs has suddenly gone up. Is it because of the epidemic? Or is it because of typhoon and rainstorm?

Our friends who often buy vegetables and go to the supermarket should have found out recently that the price of eggs has been rising recently. Especially in early August, the price of eggs in many places has exceeded five yuan. Why is this?

First of all, summer is the time when the egg production is the least in a year, so the price of eggs will rise every summer. Moreover, because it is too cold in winter, egg production is also low, so the price of eggs will increase in winter and summer. Furthermore, this year, due to the influence of typhoon fireworks, especially in Henan, which is a big province of egg production, many chicken farms suffered great losses after typhoon and rainstorm, resulting in a sharp drop in egg production. Coupled with the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, the demand for moon cakes suddenly increased, and many moon cake manufacturers began to produce moon cakes. The raw materials of moon cakes are usually eggs or duck eggs, so the demand for eggs has increased.

In recent years, the price of chicken feed has been rising, and many farmers can't keep going and change careers. Even the price of eggs from June to May this year has been relatively cheap, which is really not very friendly to sellers. In fact, the profit of chicken farm is still considerable. However, we must make a careful investigation before deciding whether to enter the market to avoid breeding embarrassment.

Moreover, eggs are not suitable for long-term storage, so they can only be produced and sold now, and there is no stock to sell when the yield is low. Then there are the factors that affect this year's epidemic. Many trans-regional transport of eggs, or the destination is a suspected case, or high-risk areas need to detour or can not be delivered at all, causing a lot of inconvenience, resulting in repeated increases in egg prices.

In a word, there was no serious chicken plague this year. Most of them are caused by seasons. According to the price fluctuation in previous years, the price of eggs should gradually decline after autumn. Especially after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there should be obvious price cuts, so don't worry too much.
