The price of eggs has been rising for half a month.

Since July, the price of eggs has been declining and rising continuously. On the 17th, a reporter visited the market and found that in the last half month, the price of eggs soared from more than 3 yuan per catty to 4.8 yuan, almost entering the "5 yuan zone".

"I went to the vegetable market and spent 10 yuan on 15 eggs. My daughter-in-law thought I had hidden my private money." Mr. Wang, a citizen, said with a laugh. On the 17th, the reporter visited many fresh food stores and grain and oil stores in the city: a week ago, the price tag of eggs was 4.2 yuan per kilogram, but now it has generally risen to 4.6 yuan per kilogram. The price tag made of red paper has to be altered many times by the salesman. The price of eggs has risen for half a month, and this week it has risen from 4.1 yuan to 4.8 yuan every day. "It's too hot for me to go in more than a few days, and it's bad. Not only eggs, but pork has risen more than 3 yuan than last month. Business is not easy to do." The elder sister who sells eggs in Xiangfang Hengdao Market told reporters. A wholesaler outside the market confirmed this statement on the side. Half a month ago, the wholesale price of local ordinary red skin eggs was 3.5 yuan per kilogram, and on the 17th, it had "fled" to about 4.3 yuan.

The reporter saw that the red leather eggs used by Carrefour and Beaufort supermarkets to promote consumers also cost 4.39 yuan to 4.49 yuan per kilogram. The head of livestock and poultry region thought that the price of eggs was very unstable this year. This makes housewife Ms. Sun wonder: last year at this time it was 3.5 yuan per kilogram, and this February it was 3 yuan when it was purchased. The price is too high to buy less. I wonder if it will fall in two days.

The price of eggs in Harbin has experienced several ups and downs since this year. February and March after the Spring Festival fell to the bottom; from April 30 onwards, the average retail price continued to rise, rising 5.37% compared with mid-April; in mid-May, it reached 4.7 yuan/kg; due to the weak terminal market demand, it briefly fell into the "three yuan zone" in June; and in July, the egg price almost rebounded to the bottom.

Pork prices have been rising steadily since the first half of the year, driving up egg prices. Data show that retail pork prices in Harbin have increased by 50% compared with last year. The rapid rise in the price of eggs in Harbin is only a microcosm of the whole country. In July 17th, the Ministry of agriculture and the countryside announced the operation of the key agricultural products market in the first half of this year. At present, the supply stage of pork market is tight, coupled with cyclical factors, and prices continue to rise. The price of beef, mutton, chicken and eggs is affected by the price trend of pork. Strengthen your body. In addition, the hot weather also affects the price of eggs. When the temperature rises in summer, the amount of eggs laid by laying hens decreases accordingly.

Price increase can alleviate the anxiety of farmers. Sun You of the farm said that after several months, he finally made money again. On the 15th, the wholesale price from the farm was 3.8 yuan per catty, a dime a day, and 4 yuan on the 17th. According to the current market, the profit and loss point was 2.6 yuan per catty. Now the price is over 1.4 yuan, and the profit is still considerable. Will the price of eggs go up again? Industry insiders believe that pork prices will continue to operate at a high level in the short term. Affected by this correlation, the price of eggs will fluctuate in the 4 yuan area in the later period, with little possibility of falling. Farmers believe that the temperature will rise as soon as the dog days enter. It will be difficult for layers to rebound in the short term. The supply of eggs will also be tight. There is still room for price increase, "which will affect the overall supply of eggs in the market from July to August". In addition, with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, many food enterprises began to store eggs, to a certain extent, will push up the price of eggs, "break 5" is more likely.
