Will the price of food and meat rise when the "cold spring" comes?

First of all, the impact on food prices is actually not great. On the one hand, it is not the time to grow food on a large scale. On the other hand, China has abundant grain reserves. Even if it encounters a cold spring, the overall impact on food prices will not be too great. However, for some daily necessities, such as meat and vegetables, prices may rise in the short term.

During this period, due to the continuous low temperature and rainy weather, it is inconvenient to travel in many places. For example, many farmers may not harvest vegetables. On the other hand, due to the rainy and snowy weather, the transportation of vegetables and pigs will also be affected to some extent, so the supply of pigs is really tight in the short term.

Therefore, during this period, the prices of vegetables and meat in some areas did increase slightly. For example, the price of vegetables in Shenzhen is obviously higher than that in the previous period. Not all weather can constitute a meteorological disaster. It doesn't mean that the temperature drop will form a meteorological disaster. If so, it will be a meteorological disaster in the north every winter.

The so-called meteorological disasters are mainly some serious weather phenomena, such as typhoon, wind and hail, snow disaster, drought, low temperature freezing and so on. The weather encountered in southern provinces belongs to low temperature and freezing, which is not only low in temperature, but also accompanied by rainy weather, which is easy to cause freezing at this time. If this low-temperature freezing lasts for a long time, it may indeed cause serious disasters to crops, such as vegetables and crop seedlings.

However, judging from the actual situation in various places, we have not yet seen a large area of crops affected. It is estimated that it will have a certain impact on those cold mountainous areas, but the overall impact is not great.

But in the long run, I don't think this weather will have much impact on meat prices and vegetables.

For pork, at present, the stock of live pigs in China has returned to the normal level, the stock of fertile sows and live pigs are relatively large, and the market demand for pork is relatively small after the end of the year, so the market price of pork is generally stable.

In short, even if it is affected by rainy weather, the price of pork may rise slightly due to transportation problems in the short term, but after the rainy and snowy weather passes, it is believed that the price of pork will return to normal, as will vegetables.
