Pork prices plunged for three weeks

As temperatures drop, the pace of beef and mutton prices has also accelerated. The province's monitoring data shows that as the price of pork in the province fell for the sixth consecutive week, the prices of beef and mutton rose for three consecutive weeks.

Last week, the province's price monitoring center statistics showed that the prices of beef and mutton rose for three consecutive weeks, of which the price of mutton rose significantly. Yesterday, the average price of lamb in the province was 21.11 yuan/500 grams, and the average price of beef was 19.04 yuan/500 grams. The price of beef rose by 11% in just one week, while the price of lamb rose by 21% in a week.

In the terminal retail market in Wuhan, the price of beef and mutton is even higher than the average price in the province. Yesterday, at Sheshan Shopping Plaza, Ms. Liu bought 1 kilogram of scorpion beef and spent more than 60 yuan. “The pork has just come down. The feeling is not so obvious. The price of beef has risen again.”

Some hot pot restaurants in Wuhan have also clearly felt the cost pressure brought by the rise of beef and mutton. At a hot pot restaurant in the mouth of Wuchang Street, the owner introduced last year that the store had done a two-month “28 yuan of fine beef and mutton mix” in the winter, but this year the price of a beef and mutton combo is 48 yuan. . Some well-known hot pot restaurants stated that they would not consider raising the price for the time being, and could only be held back by way of internal digestion of costs.

Yesterday's monitoring also showed that the average price per 500 g of pork lean meat, pork leg and pork ribs, and pork ribs in our province was 17.01 yuan, 13.63 yuan, and 17.01 yuan, respectively, down 1.10%, 2.01%, and 1.56% compared with last week. The price of pork fell for the sixth consecutive week, but the decline narrowed slightly.
