The price of live pigs fell below 10 yuan per catty. Why did the price of pork fall so fast?

Because of the 2020 epidemic? Sky-high pork? This incident shocked the whole country. Pork is one of the indispensable foods in people's daily life. However, due to the epidemic, the price of pork has risen again and again, even reaching three or four times the previous price of pigs, making many people unable to afford pork. As the price of pork rises, so do other meats, desperately raising prices. Seeing the bad situation, the government introduced many policies, which gradually reduced the price of pigs. However, the government's policies have also reduced the price of pigs by almost the same amount.

The African swine fever epidemic swept through and landed again. In just a few days, there have been dozens of African swine fever incidents. The arrival of these African swine fever has once again frustrated the cold pig market after the Spring Festival. Because of the arrival of African swine fever, many stall owners sold pigs quickly, resulting in too many pigs on the market, which led to a sharp drop in pig prices. Moreover, after the wave of high-priced pork incidents, African swine fever came again, which reduced the pork purchase of slaughter enterprises.

The government's reserve of meat has been increasing. After the sky-high pork incident, the central government opened the freezer and distributed a large amount of reserved meat. From the beginning of the incident to now, nearly 2 1 10,000 tons have been distributed, and there is a trend of continuous growth, which makes the already cold pork market worse, and a series of government measures have also caused the pork market to encounter an unprecedented cold wave.

The continuous increase of pig production capacity has experienced the sky-high pork incident, and various pigsty began to raise pigs crazily. In addition, based on government policies, the number of pigs has increased. Various policies have brought the pigsty back to the level of 20 17. However, due to the reserve of meat, various epidemics and the invasion of classical swine fever, the existence of pigs has far exceeded the demand, making many pig pens too many to sell.

Although pork prices have fallen again and again, I believe the government will also introduce corresponding policies to stop losses in time. It is believed that with the introduction of large-scale listing plan and the cessation of government policies, pork prices will return to normal in the future.
