If you can not afford to even eat eggs , may wish to eat artificial eggs . According to reports, the Li Ka Shing Foundation injection production of " artificial eggs" this week will be on sale in Hong Kong , it is quite cheap, will develop the mainland market after six months .

In contrast, the price of eggs after a large -scale outbreak of avian influenza on the crazy. According to Xinhua News Agency national market system of agricultural products and agricultural price monitoring , compared with March 8 , May 21 , nationwide prices rose 19.4%, fresh eggs . Beijing residents Lee in an interview with reporters to address him : " Eggs are 6 yuan a catty , not afford to eat ! "

However, according to the latest news, along with laying hens recovery , the poultry industry is gradually bottoming out , the market is expected to cool the eggs . Eggs analyst Xia said that from May 24 , the purchase price of eggs has begun intraday pullback from 4.98 yuan / kg to the current 4.35 yuan / kg , or up to 12.65% . According to past experience, the conduction -to-end retail market decline takes 5-7 days.

Wenshang County recorded music aloe products , eggs , direct marketing manager Xu Jie then said to the reporter , the enthusiasm of farmers have begun to rebound , the poultry industry is slowly recovering from the H7N9 bird flu hit the .

Crazy Eggs

"Eggs purchase price is currently around 5.2 yuan / kg, when you are close to a record high 5.5 yuan / kg level ." Phone, Xu Jie tone is very relaxed , which is after the Spring Festival H7N9 avian flu epidemic urgent tone very different when .

Eggs become a veritable " rocket eggs ." According to Xia introduced , beginning from March 1 , the national egg purchase price has been rising , up to the day when energy rose 0.5 yuan / kg. To May 15 , the main producing areas to achieve an average purchase price of 4.98 yuan / kg, the cumulative increase of 44.77% , in some areas even the acquisition of 5.2 yuan / kg high.

Oriental Iger an agricultural analyst also told the newspaper reporter , as of April 16 , also at a loss farm stage . From April 23 to start , egg prices exceeded the cost of the line , to May 14 , one kilogram of eggs profit reached 1.84 yuan . Among them, the wholesale segment profit of 0.04-0.05 yuan / kg, the retail part of the profits 1.02-1.03 yuan / kg, farming sectors profit reached 0.76-0.77 yuan / kg.

Xia told reporters , laying hens is a retail -oriented industries, which is lower than the degree of the scale broiler farming and pig farming . Meanwhile, its circulation and more, from farm -to-end supermarket, is also subject to a minimum of brokers, wholesalers and secondary wholesalers a three links. Factors affecting egg prices , the more volatile the price of eggs is also naturally more frequent , more intense.

In addition , unlike the eggs and pork as closely CPI , so the intensity of state regulation is relatively small , only a few large-scale farming and subsidies breeder farm , the price of eggs is mainly market factors play a decisive role .

Sequelae of bird flu

What is the reason to support the continuous rise in the price of eggs ?

Industry generally be attributed to laying hens breeding stock reduced. Xu Jie said, after last year's fourth quarter , affected by the H7N9 bird flu , egg mortality substantially. After the Spring Festival , due to the uncertainty of the future market , a lot of chicken farmers and reduce Bulan , some even go out to work to sell the farm , which caused a reduction in laying hens breeding stock , and then makes the egg production has dropped significantly.

Moreover, even in this outbreak lucky enough to survive the laying hens , also suffering from varying degrees of "H7N9 hangover" , one of its manifestation is laying rate drop , the epidemic has been unable to return to the previous level.

According to the China Animal Husbandry Association survey , the first half of 2013 , affected by the H7N9 bird flu , farm households more than 60 billion yuan in direct economic losses . When the end of the year , Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places reappear H7N9 cases , letting the poultry industry is gradually restored again suffered nearly 20 billion yuan in economic losses , many companies were forced to close , facing shutdown, bankruptcy.

Xu Jie said that this year , he found beside a small farm is gradually reduced, by the last two rounds of H7N9 bird flu affected , many retail investors have exited the industry. Meanwhile, the older generation of chicken farmers retire, the next generation of young people more choice , with the outbreak came too risky, many people no longer inherited his father , but chose to work outside the home , these are small chicken farm reasons for the decrease .

Poultry industry rebound

Market prices fall and rise , apparently still supply and demand determinants , once a serious deviation from the laws of the market will play a role. Egg prices rose even months to re- ignite the passion for laying hens .

Avian influenza in the past six months later , farmers are obviously much better mood . When a chicken farm in Jiangsu Qidong received phone calls from reporters working the SHI Haifeng being shipped, he said he recently busy, no time to be interviewed, and so have time to give reporters to fight back .

" Revived ." This is Xu Jie personal experience. His business to sell off different days of warm chicks, Xu Jie found that recent enthusiasm of farmers who raise chickens " come up " too much to buy day-old chicks , chicks he 's now in short supply. Although the season is only half of the time a few years ago , but compared to the previous months have been a lot of it.

Meanwhile, the scale of the farm is also more and more, there have been large companies have joined the industry , making the aquaculture industry concentration is gradually increased. Xia said that in the long run , this will affect the future trend of the price of eggs , reducing its frequency and amplitude fluctuations .

Reporters learned that from May 21 , the Beijing market wholesale price of eggs lead down, Hebei, Northeast markets followed. To May 24 , the national egg prices Pudie .

Dealers have to start Paohuo it. Xia said that in the course of this round of fall , the biggest loss is the dealer , because their hands are the highest inventory eggs , and often when the purchase price is high, while low ship, one into a spread only by their own commitments.

The problem now is that after the price of eggs rose rapidly prodding it?

However , Orient Agribusiness analyst , told reporters this week, will soon celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, holiday affected demand for mining goods , Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a wave of market . Overall, the current hens breeding stock is still low , which may be supported for some time egg prices remain at current levels
