Beijing Shuitun Market: Low egg price is expected to continue

With the rapid development of the national economy and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, various types of agricultural products have seen a booming supply and sales situation. The increase in labor costs and production materials has increased the prices of agricultural products. In 2010, the price of eggs first fell into the bottom of the valley. It will be a year of great ups and downs.

The survey shows that most of the eggs circulated on the Jingcheng Market come from Northeast Liaoning, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, Zhangjiakou, Hebei and the Beijing suburbs. Supply from other provinces accounts for 90%. This city can only meet 10% of the consumer demand.

According to the monitoring data of the Shuitun Market Information Office, after the Spring Festival in 2010, egg prices began to decline until the middle of April, when the farmers lost money and the profits of dealers and wholesalers were limited. Some scattered farmers After the start of the phase-out of laying hens, some small-scale hatcheries went out of business. As the price of eggs dropped, large-scale farms began to phase out large numbers of laying hens. Egg production began to decline, and egg prices returned to warmer conditions until early August. At that time, it was caused by the phenomenon of northern eggs and southern transport. In the South, the number of eggs used for Halloween was increased.) After a short period of time, it rebounded and rebounded, and set a new high. The main reasons are as follows: First, the cost of breeding has increased. According to the person in charge of the Chifeng chicken farm in Inner Mongolia at the time, “the rise in egg prices is really helpless. This year everything is expensive. Others don’t say that light coal money is 40% more expensive than in previous years. This is still a trust relationship last year. 480 yuan has reached 680 yuan per ton this year; the price of feed (corn, soybean meal) is also more than 20% higher than the same period of 2009; the wage of workers in the farm last year was 900 yuan per month, 2010 Then 1200 yuan / month. Previously raising a chicken costs more than 20 yuan, at least 32 yuan in 2010." Second, the increase in transportation costs. “The price of gasoline and diesel, the expenses of food and housing during transportation, and the cost of employing workers are all higher than in 2009. These costs must be added to the price of eggs. Do you say that the price of eggs cannot rise?” The businessman said so. If you add 2 yuan per box of eggs from Zhangjiakou to the market last year, you will need to add at least 4 yuan this year to be equal, and you will still be your own driver. Third, terminal sales costs rose. Business households say that in 2009, he hired a worker for 900 yuan/month, and in 2010, it needed 1,200 yuan/month; rent expenses rose, and the prices of vegetables, grain, oil, and other agricultural products also rose, and the cost of eating and living was high, so the eggs The price naturally rose.

At the same time when egg prices began to float, the breeding industry and the hatchery industry began to rise again. At the same time, some new farms were established. In the past, the farms increased the number of young chickens and increased the intensity of the replenishment. The egg prices quickly fell after the Spring Festival. Judging from the current situation, the price of eggs is relatively normal. At the same time, there is a sign of good development, and the prices are showing a steady trend of decline.

In the second quarter, the overall egg price should show a declining trend. On the one hand, from January to March, it includes the New Year's Day and the Spring Festival. Consumption increases, and the price rises significantly. On the other hand, the price of eggs in the first half of last year was relatively low, and some of the breeding industry was closed. After that, egg prices have steadily risen, which has increased the enthusiasm of farmers and added some aquaculture enterprises. Emerging businesses have begun to show up after the Spring Festival. The situation of sufficient supply has already been formed so that prices in the second quarter should be lower than in the first quarter. , higher than the same period last year. The supply of egg prices will be sufficient in the second half of the year, but the country has increased the purchase price of food, raised interest rates by banks, and raised the prices of gasoline and diesel, which will increase the cost of eggs from production to sales, etc. In the second half of the year, the supply of eggs was sufficient and the price was stable.

Suggest:

Beijing is a major city for the consumption of eggs, but due to insufficient supply of eggs from Beijing, it can only meet the demand of 10%. Therefore, it is recommended that large-scale egg storage bases be established in the relatively large wholesale market in Beijing to prevent rain and snow from occurring. At that time, eggs from other places could not arrive in Beijing in time, affecting the price of eggs in the capital.
