What is the continuous increase in pork prices in many places?

The reporter recently learned from a survey in Shandong and Hebei, two major animal husbandry provinces, that pork prices have risen in many places. According to the statistics of Shandong Animal Husbandry Station, the price of pork in Shandong increased from 47. 18 yuan/kg at the end of May to 57.22 yuan/kg at the end of July.

According to the fixed-point monitoring of 500 county markets in China by the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the average price of pork nationwide rose from 45.98 yuan/kg in the fourth week of May (the collection day was May 27th) to 55.50 yuan/kg in the fifth week of July (the collection day was July 29th).

In terms of consumption, as the epidemic prevention and control entered the normalization stage, the pork consumption potential was accelerated.
