Zilu's evening reporter, ziru
“why is the price of pork falling and the price of meat not falling?” in recent days, chinan pork prices have continued to decline, but prices for meat have remained high since last year's increase. On 13 august, a visit by a journalist from the ziru evening newspaper ziru found that the price of pork had almost doubled compared to last year, but that the price of meat had not changed much。
The price of multi-branded pelvis has nearly doubled
On the morning of the 13th, journalists came to the long mountain road in tai yufa, where journalists in the fresh zone noticed that fresh pork products of various types, such as the back leg of a pig, the broccoli, the ridge of a pig and the pork chops, were placed in cold cabinets at different prices, with lower prices in the middle and one of the most expensive items。
The staff member told reporters that meat production was generally best served by the use of fragrance and that “the overall price of pork is on a downward trend but is subject to small fluctuations every day”. The staff member explained that on 13 days they had set the unit price for the skind meat at $14. 9 per pound, but on 11 november the price of the skind meat had reached its recent peak at $17. 9 per pound。
This overall price trend is also seen in a fresh supermarket on the eastern road to the north phoenix garden. “there is a difference between the price of pelvis and the price of skinless meat, where the price of fragrance is higher.” according to the director of the supermarket, the price of fragrance meat has dropped significantly this year compared to last year's. In the case of rain-fed brands, the unit price of about $30 per pound has fallen to its current level of $10, with a minimum price of even $11. 9 per pound. “according to the events in henan, the price of pork rose slightly during the previous period, and recently it stabilized at $15. 9 per pound.”
However, the owner of a pork shop in a farm market near xu jia's farm said that they operated a double brand of pork, that the price of skind meat had remained almost constant at $16. 9 per pound for some time, and that it had been the highest in the last year's epidemic, at $37 per pound。
The price of meat will be adjusted with the price of meat rising or falling
Journalists have searched the delivery platforms and found that the price of meat is mostly around $8, ranging from several to a dozen。
The journalist then went to a fast-food restaurant in lunsan road, where the meat was priced at $7. The shopkeeper told reporters that the maximum price of meat in their shop in recent years was $8, which was increased by last year's changes in pork market prices. “this year, after a fall in pork prices, headquarters also regulated prices in a uniform manner, changing the price of meat to $7.” the shopkeeper indicated that they used the best-quality pork and that the company was pricing it uniformly, and that the final price was certainly related to the overall market changes。
“we set the price of meat at $8, and the price is related to the price and quality of pork, adjusted upwards and downwards.” the same response was given by the shopkeepers during the visit to the meat shop on the east road of the garden。
An in-house owner of a meat shop explained that, with the increase in rent and human costs in recent years, as well as the increase in prices of other raw foods, these factors will influence the final pricing of food products. “although the price of pork has fallen more sharply in the course of the year, a fast-food restaurant is a combination operation, not selling meat alone, and needs to balance the price of individual food items.” according to the industry, despite the recent drop in the price of pork, the prices of many food items have risen and, if markets are stable, they will reduce the prices of vegetables accordingly。
