The cost of artificial feed soars, the price of eggs rises, but it is difficult for chicken farms to benefit.

Why are eggs on a roller coaster this year? Now that the price of eggs is rising and retailers and wholesalers complain that they are not making money, what about the situation of chicken farms?

The reporter came to a chicken farm in Xiqing District of Tianjin. Uncle Jin, the owner, told the reporter that although the price is high now, there are too many losses in the first half of this year, and it is already very difficult to maintain the capital, let alone make money. He said helplessly that it was because of the good efficiency of raising chickens in 2011 and the blind expansion of chicken farms, so that in the spring of 2012, the price of eggs plummeted, and many chicken farmers lost money.

Jin Dianyuan, director of Fengyuan chicken farm in Tianjin, told reporters: this is mainly small retail investors, anyway, small retail investors, according to central Hebei Province, have to go down half.

If there are a large number of chicken farms and a large stock, the natural price will come down. At present, a large number of small households have withdrawn, and the total amount has been reduced by about 20%. As a result, there are fewer spring hatches and less eggs, and the market demand for eggs in winter is large, and the supply is less than the demand. The price will be higher and higher, and this high price will last until May and June next year.

Jin Dianxing, director of Fengyuan chicken farm in Tianjin, said: autumn and winter is not the season to fill fences, because it is difficult to raise chickens in autumn and winter, and it is technically difficult to break through, so at this time, even if most people want to raise chickens, they have to make up a lot of fences next spring.

The director of Jin Farm told the reporter that at present, the general shipping price of eggs in chicken farms is about 4.4yuan / jin and 4.5yuan / jin, which is better than in previous months, but the cost is also increasing. The salary of a worker is 3,000 to 4,000, and from last year to this year, the price of feed has also been high, with 3900 per ton of soybean meal and 2100 to 2300 per ton of corn. So now, although the price of eggs is rising, some large-scale farmers are still having a hard time.
