Re: egg prices continued to fall for a ten year low: cheaper than steamed bread.
"rocket egg" Metamorphosis "bad luck"
data also confirm the concerns of farmers.
data released by Shaanxi Price Bureau in May 3rd this year showed that egg prices continued to fall after May 1 holiday. The average selling price of eggs in the province is 2.85 yuan / Jin, down 5.94% from April 26th. The main reason for the low price of eggs is, on the one hand, the excessive number of layers. On the other hand, the H7N9 epidemic also inhibited egg consumption to a large extent.
how cheap is the price of eggs? The comparison between accounts is obvious. The price of an egg is cheaper than that of a steamed bread. The Chinese business newspaper reporter saw in the supermarket that the retail price of ordinary eggs was 2.38 yuan per catty, and some even dropped to 1.99 yuan. Generally speaking, 8 eggs are a kilogram, so that an egg is less than 30 Fen. And the steamed bread in the supermarket is four yuan, or even four three yuan, and 50 Fen of a steamed bread. In this comparison, eggs are cheaper than steamed bread.
reporter of the China business daily inquired about the same period data of Shaanxi Price Bureau, and found that the price of eggs in our province has been the lowest point in the same period in 5 years.
"after the Spring Festival in 2017, the spot price maintained at 2 yuan / kg level. In mid March, there was a certain rebound, and the price rose to around 2.5 yuan / kg. Now it has dropped to 2 yuan / Jin, and the market has been in a doldrums. Pan Yuzhu, a researcher on the feed aquaculture industry chain of the Yangtze River futures research and consulting department, said that the current price fell to nearly ten years ago, the cost was about 2.7 yuan / Jin, and the poultry breeding was in a state of loss.
there are also people in the industry joking that more than 6 yuan per jin of eggs have been called "rocket eggs" in the past few years, but now only 2 yuan, become "unfortunate eggs".
on the side of the money to buy feed and sell
farmers' losses appeal
"
", now two or three yuan a Jin, you say no loss? " In the interview, a farmer said.
Liu Bo is the head of an agricultural science and technology enterprise in Xi'an. About 2014, he began raising reed chicken. At that time, he and his partner investigated the market, and found more and more second - born families. People were more likely to pursue quality life, and the eggs were more easy to combine with urban consumption. At present, there are more than 8000 laying hens, the rate of laying eggs is much more affected by the climate, the new laying hens are not laying eggs for half a year, the old laying hens need to be eliminated, the average daily output of 2500 eggs, the higher egg production in spring and summer, and the lower in winter. Last winter, the egg production rate was low and the demand was large. He concluded that eggs sell at a price of 4 yuan per catty, which generally has a profit and the price falls by 4 yuan to lose money.
prices began to drop after the Spring Festival. In May, the egg production was high and not well preserved. Demand changed little but supply increased. In addition, the industry is becoming more and more saturated, and many districts and counties have started to start a business to run a breeding farm to raise chickens in part of the overcapacity, which eventually leads to a recent drop in prices, and some supermarket retail prices are even below 2 yuan. Not only the price is falling, but many enterprises are unable to transport and store. His business has a larger customer than a single price of a few cents. The unit price has not been greatly affected, but the expansion of market share and egg sales is greatly influenced by the environment, and some new customers are less willing to accept eggs. He hoped that the market would restore stability as soon as possible and the consumption concept returned to normal.
Liu Bo said that on the one hand, it was put into the cost of raising, while the eggs were hard to sell, and it was very tangled. The situation was very grim, and the industry was looking for a way out, such as deep processing. The recent outbreak of avian influenza in Shaanxi will accelerate the shuffling of egg farmers and enterprises. It is suggested that the farmers keep the confidence and prepare the turnover funds to carry the past. He has also asked about insurance and subsidies, but for the time being, SMEs have to shoulder their own risk.
the native egg farmers, Wang Jin, reluctantly said that the eggs were sold with worry, and they could only be poured out if the backlog was deteriorated. He hoped that the government departments would have some financial subsidies to the affected farmers to help farmers tide over difficulties.
