for several years did not eat such a cheap pork in the morning,
22 morning, Mr. Shang tidied up the pork on the stall in the berth of the chessboard Street vegetable market, skillfully peeling and dividing. "How much is a jin?" one of the citizens passed through the inquiry. "There are 11 blocks and 8 pieces 5 on the back of the elbow." The price quoted by Mr. Shang is the lowest in nearly five years.
from the beginning of this year's Spring Festival, pork prices on the Ji'nan market have been falling all the way. "(the lunar calendar) began to fall around eleven of the first month." Ms. song recalls pork wholesale business in the Seven Mile vegetable wholesale market.
with the experience of pork sales for more than thirty years, Ms. song did not take the pork price down seriously. "Pork is usually purchased before the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, there will be a period of time when business is slack and prices will drop." Unexpectedly, the price of pork seems to have been on the slide, and the wholesale price has dropped from 6 yuan per catty to more than $1.
in March this year, it was the fastest decline in wholesale prices. In just over ten days, the price dropped by more than two yuan. "In the past, pork prices generally fluctuated by a few cents, and never remembered to drop so fast." Ms. Song said.
according to the price trend of fresh pork in Ji'nan City Bureau of Commerce, from March 16th to March 23rd this year, the wholesale price of pork dropped from 10.25 yuan per Jin to 8.5 yuan per Jin, and a long vertical line was formed in the trend map.
pork prices are cheaper in some markets around Ji'nan. "A few days ago, I went to Zhong Gong to catch up with the big collection. The pork on the set was only six yuan per kilogram, and I didn't dare to buy it cheap." Ms. Cao, the citizen, said that back to the market, it was found that the price of pork had really changed a few months ago. The price below ten dollars was very common. "It was a few years ago."
