The price of eggs is too high

At the Shipai Market on the 14th, the price of eggs dropped to 7.6 yuan/kg, which was nearly 3 yuan less than every kilogram at the end of last year. The analysis conducted by the Price Monitoring Center of the Municipal Price Bureau found that after last year’s rise in egg prices, farmers continued to expand their feeding scale in the second half of the year, leading to an oversupply situation. The average retail price of eggs in the market is currently 9.2 yuan/kg, compared to the previous week. It fell by 5.54%, 20% lower than last year's highest price, hitting a record low since August 2010.

In Baohua Fresh Market, eggs were sold at 8.8 yuan/kg, and Haizhu meat and vegetable market was at 9.6 yuan/kg. Although the selling prices were quite different, at the end of the same period of last year, the price of eggs had dropped significantly.

The analysis of the Price Monitoring Center of the Municipal Price Bureau concluded that since last year's egg prices continued to operate at a high level, farmers have continued to expand their rearing scale since the second half of the year. The current increase in the supply of eggs and the relative weakness in post-holiday demand have caused the relative surplus of eggs in the market today. . The recent wholesale prices have fallen by about 15% from the beginning of the year, and the retail price of eggs has also continued to decline. The decline has been evident last week. The average retail price was 9.2 yuan/kg, a decrease of 5.54% from the previous week and a drop of 2% from the highest price of last year. Cheng, hit a new low since August 2010.

According to monitoring, the overall price of vegetables in the market recently fell back to pre-holiday prices, and pork and beef prices continued to fall.

Among them, the average retail price of 32 kinds of main vegetables last week was 6.13 yuan per kilogram, a decrease of 4.67% from the previous period. After the Spring Festival, with the rapid recovery of the supply of local vegetables, the supply of imported vegetables from the field has also gradually increased. The counter-season vegetables that are selling well before the holiday caused the decline in the purchase price due to the decrease in overall demand, and the retail price of vegetables continued to fall. Weeks have basically returned to pre-holiday price levels.
