(CCTV Finance "World Finance") Around the Spring Festival this year, the price of eggs continued to fall, and the laying hen industry was in a state of overall loss. What is the current situation of the egg market?
In some supermarkets in Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, the price of eggs is only 0.7 yuan each, which is still a high-quality egg. The supermarket salesperson said that this is the second price reduction before and after the Spring Festival.

Then the reporter came to a laying hen breeding enterprise located in Rucheng County, Chenzhou City, where more than 1.5 million laying hens were raised and 900,000 eggs were produced every day. At present, the ex-factory price of eggs has dropped to 4.2 yuan per pound, while the prices of feeds such as corn and soybean meal are constantly rising. Currently, the company is in a state of loss.

Chen Xiquan, Chairman of an Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. in Rucheng County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province: For example, when the price of corn was high, it reached 3,600 yuan per ton in some places, which was nearly double that of 2019. Last year, we only bought the single cost of corn. , an increase of nearly 40 million yuan.
The market is sluggish and feed prices continue to rise. In order to maintain operations, many farming enterprises are forced to continuously reduce the scale of farming. Reduce losses by reducing the number of laying hens.

It is understood that in 2020, the laying hen industry will continue to be profitable, the financial situation of farmers will be improved, and the enthusiasm for supplementing the fence will increase. According to statistics, the number of new laying hens in the first half of this year is significantly greater than the number of old chickens eliminated, which will lead to an increase of more than 5% in the number of laying hens in the first half of this year compared with the same period last year.

Industry insider Yao Wei: The old chickens that will be eliminated in the first half of this year are replenished in the fourth quarter of the previous year, while the chicks that will be produced in the first half of this year are replenished in the fourth quarter of last year. And with the increase in egg supply, it cannot be ruled out that there is a risk of further decline in egg prices in the first half of this year.
Yao Wei said that as long as breeding enterprises and farmers rationally replenish the stock and properly control the number of laying hens, the laying hen industry is expected to turn losses into profits as soon as the second half of this year.

Feed is soaring! The prices of live pigs, cattle, sheep and eggs "collapsed and fell", what happened?


2022-02-23 13:32:11

[Introduction] February is coming to an end, the rainy solar term is coming, the temperature in many parts of the country has gradually warmed up, and the cold winter will come to an end! However, the prices of live pigs, cattle, sheep and eggs have collapsed and fallen, and the breeding industry has entered a "cold winter". At present, many domestic feed companies have wildly raised prices, and the sharp rise in feed prices has further exacerbated the loss of the breeding industry. What happened to the market? ? For the next trend of the market, today we will analyze it in detail!


First, the price of pigs has fallen! After entering the Year of the Tiger, the price of pigs has been walking on thin ice. Due to the high production capacity of live pigs, the support of consumption has fallen sharply. After the year, the price of pigs has fallen sharply, and the price of live pigs has bottomed out. In most parts of the country, the price of pigs Showing the performance of "breaking 6 into 5", the price of pigs in the northeast and most of the northwest is less than 6 yuan/catties! Even in the high-priced areas in the south, the price of pigs generally hovers at 6.5~6.8 yuan/catties!


The price of pigs is sluggish, and the average domestic pig price bottoms out at 6.2 yuan per kilogram. The breeding side has fallen into a loss-making situation for the entire industry. The loss of self-propagating and self-preserving pigs exceeds 400 yuan, and the test of farmers has just begun! Since pork consumption has entered a low point during the year, and in the next 2-3 months, it will be difficult for pork consumption to be greatly boosted due to cheap pork. However, the release of live pigs has entered a period of continuous release, especially in June 2021. As high as 45.64 million, this will also cause the slaughter of live pigs to reach a theoretical peak from April to May 2022. With the intensification of consumption constraints, the price of pigs may further bottom out, and the average price of domestic live pigs has fallen below 5 yuan/catties risks of!


Second, the price of cattle and sheep is "sad reminder"! After the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, the price of pigs has fallen sharply, and the price of cattle and sheep has become even more tragic! After the year, due to the sharp decline in the enthusiasm of residents' consumption, the fresh beef and mutton in the market entered the off-season, the price of cattle and sheep in the farm continued to fall, and the price of beef and mutton in the market gradually declined!
According to official sources, as of February 22, in the national agricultural product market, the price of pork fell to 19.29 yuan/kg, and the price of beef fell to 76.79 yuan/kg, a drop of 2.4% from the previous day! The price of mutton fell to 71.46 yuan/kg, down 1.6% from the previous day! According to the author's understanding, in the southwestern part of Shandong, in local rural markets, the price of local goat meat has dropped to 34~35 yuan/catties, compared with 39~40 yuan/catties during the Spring Festival, the price of mutton has dropped by about 5 yuan/catties!


The price of mutton has fallen. On the breeding side, in the autumn and winter of last year, the price of live sheep for farmers was generally 16-17 yuan/catties. At this stage, in Shandong, Hebei and other places, the price of live sheep has generally dropped to 13-14.4 yuan/catties , the price of live sheep has dropped significantly!
Due to the sluggish consumer market after the year, the prices of domestic beef cattle and mutton sheep are still at risk of further decline. Some farmers have weakened their enthusiasm for slaughtering, and the phenomenon of slaughtering has increased. However, with the increase in feed costs, the risk of farmers has also increased significantly. However, relative to the loss of 400 to 500 yuan per pig breeding head, it is a little comforting!


3. Eggs fall back! In the domestic laying hen farming industry, pork, beef and mutton are slow to sell after the year, and egg sales are also relatively difficult. Due to the slow delivery of eggs in the consumer terminal market, traders' purchasing sentiment is poor, and the demand for replenishment in the terminal market is sluggish. Although the number of laying hens in Duan is relatively small, as the inventory continues to increase, the panic of farmers has become more intense, and the phenomenon of price reductions has increased, and domestic egg prices have rebounded!


According to official data, the national egg market, production and sales areas, the arrival price of eggs and the price of eggs from farms have generally declined. The decline is generally 0.05~0.15 yuan/catties, and the egg price in some markets in Beijing has dropped to 3.5 yuan/catties , In Shandong and Henan areas, the price of farmed eggs has also dropped to 3.5~3.6 yuan/catties!


Egg prices have rebounded from the decline. Although the production at the breeding end is limited, due to the slow delivery of eggs in the sales area, the consumption of eggs in the market requires a period of time, while the breeding end and the sales area of ​​traders are not well sold, and passive inventory accumulates. Traders are cautious, and as the domestic temperature gradually rises, the mood of the farms to destock is strengthened, and the price of eggs has dropped sharply! However, due to the rising cost of feed, farmers have a certain sentiment to carry the price, and it is expected that there will be limited room for the price of eggs to fall in the later period!
3. Feed prices have risen sharply! Unlike the sluggish market for live pigs, cattle, sheep and eggs, domestic feed prices have risen sharply against the trend! It is understood that this round of feed prices has risen, involving livestock and poultry feed and fish feed, etc., and the price increase has been as high as 50-600 yuan / ton, and the acceleration of feed prices is due to the recent rise in domestic feed raw material prices, especially soybean meal protein raw materials. The price has risen, supporting the rise of the market!


It is understood that as of mid-February, the domestic price of soybean meal with 43% protein has risen to 4,214 yuan/ton, and the price of soybean meal has risen by as much as 18.9% during the year. While the price of soybean meal is soaring, the domestic corn price is high and sideways. The average domestic corn price hovers at 2,685 yuan/ton. However, due to the sharp rise in domestic refined oil prices, the transportation cost has further increased, which has also intensified the price of corn to the factory. And the rising cost of feed sales!
Pig prices fell miserably, cattle and sheep prices were "tragic", and the decline of eggs was highlighted! The feed is soaring, what's going on? How do you feel about this? The above is the author's personal opinion, the pictures are from the Internet!
