The nutritional value of eggs is very high and has always been a necessity in Mrs. Ma's "vegetable basket. Recently, many consumers have found that the price of eggs is quietly "climbing". In addition, the price of ginger, which is indispensable in cooking, has risen since June, and the country has ushered in a new round of "Jiang You Jun" price hikes. Compared with June 10, September 10, ginger The national average daily price rose by more than 50%.

The price "rubs" and ginger climbs up.

According to the Xinhua News Agency's national agricultural and sideline products and agricultural materials price system monitoring on September 10, the national ginger price has continued to rise rapidly since mid-June. Compared with June 10, on September 10, the national average daily price of ginger rose by more than 50%. In terms of regions, the price of ginger in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities has risen, among which Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan have increased by 70% to 100.

Yesterday, ginger sold as high as one catty in 6 yuan at Hangzhou Dongshan Farmers' Market and Pine Wood Market. The harmonious Farmers' Market sold relatively low and also needed one catty in 5 yuan. The price department monitored the average price of ginger in 10 farmers' markets in Hangzhou city to be one catty in 5.62 yuan, which was the same as that in the same period last week. The reporter saw at the Pingfeng Street vegetable market that the price of ginger was mostly about 5.5 to 8 yuan a catty, and the price of ginger in individual stalls soared to 9 yuan a catty.

He Lan, a business owner, said: "Recently, the price of ginger has been relatively stable, maintaining a high price of 6 yuan per catty, but it was only 4 yuan per catty more than two months ago."

Industry insiders believe that previously affected by the poisonous ginger incident, some farmers are unwilling to plant ginger, and the national ginger planting area has shrunk. In addition, due to the continuous high temperature in some areas this summer, the drought in some production areas has led to the reduction of ginger production. In addition, summer (July to September) is the peak season for ginger consumption. The combination of various factors has caused the price of ginger to rise sharply after late June. "The output of ginger this year is less than that of last year. The current price of ginger is difficult to fall in the short term, and it is likely to continue to rise. In the industry, the price of ginger has the saying of "three years of expensive and three years of cheap". This year or the cycle of rising ginger prices."

Eggs

Recent price "Climbing stairs"

Since August, the purchase and wholesale (distribution) prices of egg breeding in Hangzhou have risen, and prices have risen rapidly since September, with a large cumulative increase and a recent record high.

The reporter learned that the purchase price of ordinary eggs in Jiande City on September 10 was 5 yuan/jin, up 8.7 percent from the same period last week and 23.4 percent from the same period last month. According to monitoring, the wholesale (distribution) price of ordinary eggs in Yanyan Poultry Egg Distribution Center in Jianggan District of Hangzhou reached 5.4 yuan/kg on September 12, up 8% from 5 yuan/kg in the same period last week and 10.2 from 4.9 yuan/kg in the same period last month.

"Yesterday, the wholesale price of ordinary eggs was 5.4 to 5.5 yuan per catty, which was the highest price in history. "Qian Minggang, president of the Hangzhou Poultry and Egg Industry Association, couldn't help sighing," Not only is the price of local eggs in Hangzhou rising, but the situation of eggs across the country is similar. Yesterday, the purchase price of eggs produced in Northeast China was about 4.6 yuan/Jin, 20 cents higher than the highest price in history."

"The continuous high temperature weather in our city this summer has led to a significant decline in the laying rate of laying hens. In addition, the downturn in the market during the previous bird flu period has led to a significant reduction in the amount of local farmers to replenish their stalls. Therefore, the local egg supply is currently tightening. In addition, 10% to 15% of the eggs on the Hangzhou market come from the three northeastern provinces and 60% from Jiangsu Province. The rare high temperature weather in many places in the south in August greatly reduced the appetite of laying hens, reduced their demand for feed, and reduced the survival rate of laying hens. At the same time, the chicken farms in Northeast China suffered great losses due to the flood, and the output decreased significantly. The combination of various factors made the supply of eggs this year significantly lower than that of the same period in previous years. "Qian Minghuo analyzed," Recently, with the opening of colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools, the demand for eggs has continued to expand. At present, the daily demand for eggs in the Hangzhou market is between 420 and 450 tons, an increase of about 20% from the 350 to 380 tons in late August."

"The demand has increased significantly, and the market is short of supply due to the decrease in egg production, which naturally pushes up the price of eggs and repeatedly hits new highs. "qian minghuo said.

According to the price monitoring data of 10 farmers' markets in Hangzhou city on September 12, the average retail price of ordinary eggs was 5.28 yuan/kg, up 0.23 yuan or 4.55 percent from 5.05 yuan/kg in the same period last week and 0.37 yuan or 7.53 percent from 4.91 yuan/kg in the same period last month.

Later market prices are stable and bullish.

Yesterday, the reporter came to the Pingfeng Street vegetable market and found that fresh eggs were sold for 5 to 6 yuan a catty, and duck eggs were sold for 8 yuan a catty. "The price of vegetables has risen, and the price of eggs has also risen with the trend. Nowadays, the prices of vegetables and eggs are about the same. It is better to eat vegetables and eggs than pork. "Ms. Huang, a citizen who lives in Haoer Lane, quipped," A few days ago, eggs were sold for 5.8 yuan a catty, and today they have risen by 20 cents. "Business owner Zhou Na hurriedly explained:" Today's price from Gouzhuang is one kilo in 5.4 yuan, which is more expensive than last week, and the price is naturally higher."

In the Jinjiang Aquatic Agricultural and Sideline Products Comprehensive Wholesale Market, Mr. Zhao, a wholesale operator, believes that although there are many factors driving egg prices, the current egg prices are already at a high level, which will definitely curb consumer demand. Although the price may still rise, the range is limited. It is expected that it will not exceed 10 cents per catty. "However, the seasonal consumption demand for eggs will increase after September, and the price may be difficult to fall."

A farmer told reporters that from Jiande to Hangzhou, the cost of gasoline, labor and damage will increase by about 0.2 yuan per catty of eggs. "It will take some time for the increase in acquisition and wholesale prices to be transmitted to the retail link. Although the current increase in the retail link in the Hangzhou urban market is smaller than that in the acquisition and wholesale link, the market price is stable and bullish in the later period."
