According to industry experts' analysis, there are mainly three reasons that lead to the continued rise in pork prices. First, due to the outbreak of gastroenteritis at the beginning of the year, a large number of sows died. The number of piglets and pigs decreased, resulting in an imbalance between the supply and demand of pork in the market in the later period. Second, due to the impact of the "lean meat" incident, the entire hog industry has been rectified and imported pigs have been reduced in import volume, leading to tight supply on the market and driving up pork prices. The third is the increase in the cost of raising livestock farmers. Currently, the price of corn on the market is about 2.8 yuan per kilogram. Compared with the beginning of March, the price of corn has increased by 16.7%. In addition, Other factors such as feed, miscellaneous grains, workers' wages, etc. have risen.
