Causes of multiple factors pushing up the price of lamb

Ding Mingzhu, general manager of Shandong Pearl's animal husbandry breeding base, told the reporter that the rising lamb price was mainly due to the decrease in sheep slaughter. “Now our individual pastoralists here are reluctant to raise sheep.” According to it, in recent years, the conditions of herdsmen in Inner Mongolia have been getting better and better, and new houses have been built. They are clean and unwilling to raise sheep again. In addition, due to the low price of sheep in the past few years, some herdsmen have gone out to work and make money, resulting in a reduction in the amount of sheep slaughtered.

Ding Mingzhu also said that the gap between supply and demand for mutton has increased over the past few years, and the market gap is about 30%. “You can go to our bazaar now and you can feel it at a glance.” He said that at least 1,000 sheep were sold each day in the bazaars in their area, but people who buy goats at the bazaar are now better than those who sell sheep. More. The number of sales on the market per day drops to dozens. "The change is obvious."

In addition, the increase in the cost of farming has also led to an increase in the price of mutton. “This year, due to rising feed prices and rising labor costs, the cost of aquaculture can grow by an average of 15%. Labor costs can account for 1/3, and feed price increases account for 1/10 of the cost.”

Point of view the price of lamb is difficult to drop in the short term

According to the commercial forecast monitoring of the Ministry of Commerce, in early November 2010, the wholesale price of mutton was 17.55 yuan/kg, and rose to 19.42 yuan/kg by the Spring Festival.

What will be the retail price of lamb meat before the Spring Festival in 2012? "The average price of lamb last year was 24 yuan/kg to 25 yuan/kg, rose to 29 yuan/kg in the Spring Festival, this year it rose to 27 yuan/kg to 28 yuan/kg, and it is estimated that the price of lamb can rise to 30 in the Spring Festival. Yuan/jin.” Ding Mingzhu believes that it is difficult to reduce the price of lamb meat in the short term. "The decline in lamb prices needs to be regulated by the market." He believes that in order to reduce the price of mutton, it is necessary to expand large-scale farming. “There are not many large-scale farmers in the market, so once the small and medium-sized farmers have no support, the market will experience an imbalance between supply and demand.” In addition, he believes that the price of mutton still needs to be regulated by the market. “Once the price of mutton has risen to 35 yuan/kg, it will inevitably attract more farmers to breed. When the amount of slaughter increases, the price will naturally fall.” However, he believes that this cycle needs at least a year.
