According to the National Bureau of Statistics Taiyuan Survey Team released on August 18: In July, the rise in egg products in Taiyuan continued to climb, and the price of fresh eggs reached a record high.

Since the beginning of this year, as one of the residents’ daily necessities for daily consumption, fresh egg prices have continued to rise and have risen to the highest point of the year since July. According to a survey conducted by the Taiyuan Survey Team of the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of fresh eggs rose by 18.9% from January to July this year, and the price of egg products has risen by 18.0%. The strong rise is cause for concern.

In the first half of this year, the monthly price of fresh eggs in Taiyuan was 8.9 yuan/kg in January, 9.18 yuan/kg in February, 7.19 yuan/kg in March, 7.38 yuan/kg in April, and 8.26 yuan/kg in May, in June. 8.85 yuan / kg, July egg prices rose to 9.1 yuan / kg, up 2.8% over the previous month, up 24.6% over the same period the previous year. The rising price of fresh eggs caused the prices of downstream products to rise. The price of egg products rose by 5.0% from the previous month and was up by 21.9% from the same period of last year.

The rising price of fresh eggs is mainly due to the increase in the price of pork this year, which has led to the increase in the price of chicken, which has led some people to sell layer chickens as broilers, resulting in insufficient supply of fresh eggs. Second, as the weather gets hotter, the egg production has increased. The decline, and feed prices, labor costs and transportation costs rose, resulting in an increase in production costs; Third, the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the peak moon cake production, increased demand for eggs, but also an important reason to push up the price of eggs.
