The Price Department Of The NDRC Said The Price Increase Should Be Close To The Turning Point.

Zhou Wangjun, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, said that although the first half of the year

On the afternoon of July 22nd, in an interview with the Chinese government website, he explained that there were four reasons:

First, the commodity prices in the international market have dropped significantly, and the import impact on China will slow down; two, the domestic monetary regulation has played a positive role; three, the supply of important domestic commodities is guaranteed; four, according to the price fluctuation cycle, the price rise should be close to the turning point.

In addition, the tail factor is also falling rapidly.

Zhou Wangjun stressed that from the current situation,

In answer to netizens' questions about who benefits from the rising prices of agricultural products, he pointed out that the high cost of circulation of agricultural products is a fact.

The next step is to vigorously clean up the circulation fees, including the green channel policy that has been implemented. The annual toll of fresh agricultural products can be reduced by 13 billion yuan.

In the second half of this year, we will also clean up the entry fees and bank card fees of shopping malls and supermarkets.

Zhou Wangjun acknowledged that there were some hype factors in the price increase of agricultural products in the first half of last year and the first half of this year.

For example, last year's cotton, ginger, garlic, mung bean, etc., and a typical case of hoarding dangshen for some time.

He said that the market order has improved since last year, with more efforts to investigate and punish illegal price behavior.

He also analyzed the reasons for the surge in pork prices this year.

In his view, the first is the reduction of supply, which is the root cause; two, the pig price was too low last year, resulting in slaughter of sows in large numbers of pig farmers; three, it was relatively cold last winter, and the pig mortality rate was high; four, the cost of raising was indeed rising sharply.

Zhou Wangjun pointed out that the Mid Autumn Festival to the winter solstice is the peak season for pork consumption. Pork prices should be basically stable or stable before the Spring Festival next year.

Pork prices may fall sharply next spring.

He warned that farmers will lose money if they blindly fill in the fence.

For netizens who say, "China's pig disease is a major factor in driving prices," Zhou Wangjun replied that China's cold chain logistics is not developed, and there is still a lot of live pig pportation.
