Why does a piece of pork in China affect the world?

If it is not reported by Reuters in the United Kingdom, I really cannot believe that a piece of pork that is popular in the eyes of the Chinese people will actually become the economic indicator that affects the whole world, which is known as "the world's attention." (China News, January 13) .

Reuters analyzed Chinese pork in this way: It is the Chinese people's favorite meat product. The price trend has a significant impact on China's inflation level. In this chain reaction, China's pork has become the wind indicator and beacon of the global economy. This view is not without reason.

People know that pork is the "end-of-the-line dish" when it comes to the food basket. If pork is expensive, then the expenditure on the food basket will rise accordingly. A food chef made a final inventory of one year's life at the end of 2011 and made such a final summary: In 2011, due to the significant increase in the prices of pork, especially pork, the average annual expenditure on food consumption compared with 2010 More about 200 yuan. The family Engel coefficient climbed. Among them, his family spent 1,399 yuan on meat-based fresh meat (see Huashangwang on December 28, 2011). In order to stabilize prices, the Chinese government has significantly increased pork imports since the second half of last year. Once it comes to pork imports, it will affect the United States, the European Union, Canada and other places. The figures show that during the price increase of pork from 2007 to 2008, there was a significant increase in pork imports from China. The figures also show that in 2008 China was the second pork export market in the United States. Just because of the outbreak of "swine flu" in 2009, China once suspended imports from markets such as the United States and Europe. In 2011, in order to stabilize the rising pork prices in China and meet the Chinese public's pork consumption, China's pork imports reached 550,000 tons, an increase of 100,000 tons from 2010. This situation also shows that: In the global integration, pork supply is not only a country's problem, but the global economy's "economic chess." China's agriculture has reached the stage where we must co-ordinate "two markets and two resources." As the income level of residents increases, purchasing power increases and demand elasticity decreases. In order to stabilize the national economy and safeguard the quality of life of ordinary people, it is extremely important to import pork when there are periodic fluctuations and serious epidemics of pork and there is a large gap between supply and demand.

Of course, the price of pork is not only imported from abroad, but also important is the domestic development of pig farming. People know that pork prices are expensive. Among them, shortage of pigs is an important cause. In recent years, some places have placed a heavy emphasis on industrial development. Many rural areas, especially suburbs, have become development zones. Farmers have no place to raise pigs, and the pig raising industry has accordingly fallen behind. Farmers tend to raise pigs and tend to suffer more losses and weaken. The interest of farmers in raising pigs has led to a reduction in pork prices. Obviously, whether or not a piece of pork can satisfy the domestic market supply and maintain price stability is not so simple. This involves the pig raising policy, which involves the development of a "vegetable basket project" involving the pig industry and involves foreign trade. As the population of China is the highest in the world, the 1.3 billion population is itself a huge consumer market. Therefore, the pork supply problem cannot but affect the whole world. Therefore, to say that a piece of pork in China is a “world-view” is not a fictitious word, but a very real one related to the national economy and the people’s livelihood. It is related to the economics of the internal and external trade in relation to the world economy, precisely the “pork economics”.

Some people may say that you can use other meat as a substitute for pork, and you don't have to make pork articles. This question may be true, but it has become a long-term habit for the Chinese public to eat pork. It is difficult to change it within 10 years and 8 years. Therefore, it is incumbent on the government to regulate the pork industry and regulate the price of pork and other products in the market.

Knowing that one piece of pork in China affects the whole world is to strive to develop China's pig industry. Nowadays, the agricultural enterprises and peasants of the source of pig farming breed two channels. This is determined by China's national conditions and is also complementary to the two channels. The problem is that in recent years, the rural aquaculture industry has neglected many localities. The reason for this is that the income from raising pigs cannot enter the local fiscal revenue and cannot reflect the achievements of the grass-roots government. Obviously, to understand the influence of a piece of pork that affects the whole body, it is necessary to establish the concept of “pig economics”, especially to establish a people-oriented concept, so that the pig-breeding industry can be placed on the grassroots level, from technology, funds, sales channels, etc. It supported farmers in raising pigs. With enough pigs, the public food basket is also fulfilled. The grievances of complaining that prices have risen too high will be reduced accordingly.

Of course, it is also necessary to say that the development of the grass-roots pig-breeding industry requires the simultaneous development of food as a source of pig feed. In this way, a pig connects food, export, and sales channels. Therefore, to solve the problem of excessively high meat prices, there is actually a problem of reforming the top-level design. Only from the perspective of people-oriented and scientific development can we scientifically layout the pig industry and the entire rural economy.
