On September 7, reporter visited several wet markets and supermarkets in Huaihua urban area and learned that the pork prices were stable and registered a slight decline, which has brought benefits to consumers.
At Yingfenglu Wet Market, the reporter found that pork stalls were bustling with activity. Stall owners said that pork prices had fallen compared with before, and consumer enthusiasm for purchasing had increased significantly. According to one stall owner, with the price decreasing from 18 yuan to 16 yuan per kilogram, there were more customers than before.
A supermarket staff told the reporter that the pork price declined about 10% due to adequate market supply.
In recent years, with the continuous expansion of pig farming scale and the continuous improvement of breeding technology, pig stocks have increased steadily, providing a stable supply of pork to the market. Meanwhile, relevant government departments have further strengthened the regulation and supervision of the pork market, effectively ensuring the stability of market prices.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching and the demand for pork has risen, pork prices have not fluctuated significantly due to the abundant supply. Major merchants are competing to launch various promotional activities to attract consumers to buy pork.
The stable pork prices with a slight decline are not only beneficial to consumers in reducing their living costs, but also play a positive role in promoting the healthy development of the pork market. It is expected that pork prices will continue to remain stable in the near future, which will make pork more affordable for consumers.
