The meeting on the impact of the soaring price of meat on the lives of the people pointed out that in the recent period, the increase in pork prices has affected the life of the people and has driven up prices. In order to protect the interests of producers and consumers and promote the sustainable and healthy development of live pig production, we must further improve policies and measures to support pig production in accordance with the principles of overall consideration, comprehensive policy implementation, integration of length and length, and treatment of both the symptoms and the root causes.

For farmers (farms), subsidies will be granted at a rate of 100 yuan for each breeding sow. We will continue to implement the subsidy policy for premium sow insurance premiums. Support the construction of raw pig breeding grounds and increase the subsidy for frozen sperm. Bringing hogs out of the county awards range from 421 counties to 500 counties.

(b) Strengthen the construction of public pig epidemic prevention system. We will implement a free compulsory immunization policy for animal diseases of the country. The cost of harmless treatment of sick and dead pigs in standard-sized farms and communities is 80 yuan per head, and the loss allowance for disease pigs in slaughter pigs is increased from 500 yuan per head to 800 yuan. The pig breeding standard for culling due to the need for epidemic prevention will be raised from 600 yuan per head to 800 yuan. The subsidy standard for basic work for epidemic prevention workers will be raised from 1,000 yuan per year to 1,200 yuan.

(c) Strengthen credit and insurance support. Increase credit support for large scale aquaculture companies and provide credit guarantee services for large scale farms and communities. We must pay close attention to the establishment of a joint venture guarantee loan system for large-scale breeding enterprises. Do a good job of pig insurance and increase the coverage of live pig insurance.

Establish linkages between prices for social security during the year (IV) Properly arrange for the life of students from low-income groups and families with financial difficulties. Before the end of the year, all localities must establish a linkage mechanism linking social assistance and security standards with rising prices, and issue timely temporary subsidies for prices. Through fixed-point supply and storage of food, implementation of a family financially difficult student funding policy, and strengthening of student canteen management, etc., it is ensured that the standard of living of students after the start of autumn is not reduced due to rising prices.

(5) Enhance the statistics, monitoring and analysis of the production, circulation, and consumption of “vegetable basket” commodities such as live pigs, and timely grasp the production status and market changes.

â–  The trend of meat prices led pork prices rose in the first half of the CPI

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the lack of supply and rising costs led to price increases; market-based measures were used to control this report (Reporter Yang Huayun). The national consumer price (CPI) rose 5.4% year-on-year in the first half of the year, mainly due to the rise in pork prices. Some influence. The previously released data showed that the CPI for the month of June rose by 6.4% year-on-year, a rise that hit a new high in three years.

6.7% year-on-year increase in June

The National Statistics Bureau’s spokesperson Sheng Laiyun said at the press conference held by the China Newcomers Office yesterday that the new price increase factor was mainly due to the month-on-month rise in food prices, especially the comparison of the pork price increase in June. Big. He said that the pork price in June rose by 11.4% compared with the previous month in May, resulting in an impact on the CPI. The chain index affected 0.36 percentage points. The new price increase factor was mainly due to the increase in pork prices caused some impact.

Sheng Laiyun said that the year-on-year increase in pork prices in June was as high as 57.1%, mainly because the base figure last year was relatively low. He analyzed that pork prices have been running low in 2009 and 2010. In particular, the price of pork in June 2010 was relatively low, and the year-on-year index must be relatively high.

The main cause of rising meat prices is the main reason for the increase in pork prices. Sheng Laiyun said that because pork prices are relatively low and the efficiency of raising pigs is poor, many producers have reduced their inventory and are unwilling to raise pigs, causing pork in the first half of this year. Insufficient supply. The occurrence of lean crushing events in the first half of the year also increased market volatility.

The increase in the cost of promoting meat prices Sheng Shengyun said that a very important reason for the rise in pork prices is due to cost. He analyzed that pork production in the first half of the year did not fall too much, but the price rose higher, indicating that the mechanism for the increase in pork prices has undergone a significant change from the previous time.

In addition, due to the increase in labor costs, the increase in feed costs, the increase in the cost of environmental management, and the increase in transportation costs, the cost of raising pigs also increases, which in turn drives up prices. This is an important reason.

Regarding how to alleviate this problem, Sheng Laiyun stated that it is necessary to use market-oriented means to regulate and control, and in particular to strengthen the production and supply of live pigs.

■Expert opinions Pork prices are difficult to fall for a short period of time Yesterday, Senior Animal Pastor and former Deputy Secretary General of the China Animal Husbandry Association’s Pork Industry Branch, Jing Jizhong, said that this round of meat price rises lasted longer compared to the previous round of pork price hikes. This is because of the decrease in supply.

“The pork price started to rise in July last year and it continues until now, mainly because the supply of pigs is low, and the pig disease and epidemic have led to the reduction of pigs.” Jing Jizhong said that from January to May last year, pork prices fell to a low point. As a result, most of the pig farmers at the time, whether they were scattered or large-scale pig farms, were losing money. The increase in pork price in this round was mainly due to the reduction in the supply of pig disease.

“It can be seen through market analysis that when the price of pigs fell last year, feed prices for corn and other feeds rose, and the continuous rise in raw material prices and labor costs has become the norm and persisted for a long time.” Jing Jizhong said, “The small number of pigs leads to supply. Reduction, which is a reality that is difficult to change in a short time, so it is difficult for pork prices to come down in a short time."

The reporter Li Jing’s meat price is expected to fall in the second quarter of next year. “The temperature has risen since July. Pork demand has entered a seasonal off-season. Coupled with the continuous rise in pork prices, the number of residents buying has decreased, and the trend of live pig and pork prices continues to increase substantially. "Cooling down," said Jiang Congwen, an expert in the Central Business Productivity Promotion Center, "From the perspective of the market volatility cycle and the recovery rate of hog production, the price drop is positive."

He said that in view of the continued rise in the price of pigs in previous years, it was rarely more than one year. As of now, the price of live pigs and pork has risen for more than one year. From May this year, the number of fertile sows has begun to increase. It is expected that the supply of live pigs will steadily increase in the second quarter of 2012, and prices are expected to periodically fall.

According to Xinhua News Agency, the public has reported that the price of pork has risen to eat beef and mutton. Yesterday, in the vegetable market, the two elderly people who were buying pork said that pork prices have been rising during this period. If it really rises to more than 20 yuan, it will choose to eat less. There are also consumers who say that the price of pork has gone up, and that the family's fresh meat is replaced by beef and mutton, which is just a change of taste for the family.

The reporter found that compared with the single bulk meat market, supermarkets, a wide range of pork prices vary widely, from a dozen yuan a pound of ordinary bulk meat, to a hundred dollars a pound of various brands, small packaging The organic black pork, etc., vary greatly.

Yesterday, at the Carrefour National Exhibition Store, a young woman who was picking brand pork said that because of the small number of people in her family, she only bought a small amount of pork for seasoning. Therefore, she has always chosen the brand organic meat. The unit price reached 50 to 60 yuan per catty. . For pork prices, their feelings are not obvious.
