Recently, pig prices have rebounded and pig farmers are gradually beginning to make a profit.

On the morning of June 6, Meng Xiangqin, a pig farmer in Shandong Village, Songcun Town, came to his farm to feed the pigs that were about to be fenced. To his delight, several live pigs sold recently are all sold at 7.5 yuan per jin, and each pig can earn more than 300 yuan. Over the past three weeks, the purchase price of Wendeng pigs has rebounded obviously, and farmers can earn at least 200 yuan for selling a pig.

"the market was the worst in March and April this year, and the highest purchase price has not reached 7 yuan per jin." Yesterday, Wu Jungang, head of a farm in Wujiatan Village, Houjia Town, told reporters that in early May, the purchase price of live pigs still fluctuated between 6.6 yuan and 6.8 yuan per catty, entering the middle and late May, and suddenly rose to 7.2 yuan per catty. In the following more than 20 days, the purchase price began to rebound gradually, and the current purchase price of live pigs is about 7.5 yuan to 7.8 yuan per jin.

"now you can make at least 200 yuan by selling a pig." In the interview, many pig farmers said so. According to a farmer in Wangjia Village, Lingshang, Dashuibo Town, the feed is now 1.4 to 1.5 yuan per jin, which is basically unchanged compared with before, while pig prices are rebounding, ensuring that pig farmers are profitable.

In the morning, several purchasers came to Meng Xiangqin's farm, and Meng Xiangqin asked them to come back in a few days. "most of the pigs have grown to 200 jin, but I want to see if the price will rise again." Meng Xiangqin said.

"it has been difficult for us to receive live pigs since May." The person in charge of Wendeng one meat processing enterprise said that although the purchase price of live pigs rebounded periodically during this period of each year, the price rebounded very quickly recently, rising almost every day, and many farmers began to cherish their sales.

The reporter visited some farmers' markets and supermarkets in the urban area and found that pork prices also began to rise slightly. The price of lean meat in a supermarket is about 14 yuan per catty, and the price of refined pork is about 13 yuan per catty, up 4% and 13% respectively from two months ago. Staff say pork prices are likely to rise slightly with the advent of the Dragon Boat Festival.

According to the netizens of Pig e-net, the reason why the price of live pigs rebounded is affected by multiple factors. In addition to the reduction in market supply and the hesitation of farmers to sell, the recent national pig reserve policy is also one of the reasons, coupled with the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, consumer demand increases, which may drive pig prices higher in the short term.
