In 2009, there were more than 3 pig slaughter prices in some areas, causing the industry to be shocked, and the news was like a bombshell, which directly blew up the last psychological defense of farmers across the country!

This price is less than half of last year's!

The fluctuations of the "pig cycle" are really like big wind and waves, in which small boats are easy to be overturned, and large ships are more stable.

As a "big ship", Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Wen's shares, etc., have been enthusiastic about expanding against the trend, and the pace has not slowed, which has triggered a wave of controversy in the industry.

Market participants criticized the expansion of pig enterprises: "With the influx of capital and the expansion of production capacity, if the entire production capacity is released more powerfully, then the pig price may be in a loss period for a considerable period of time, which is equivalent to extending the price decline cycle......"

Analysts also said: "There is a certain risk in the expansion of pig breeding enterprises against the market, first, pork prices are difficult to predict, and it is difficult to draw conclusions about whether pork prices are about to enter a rebound cycle." In particular, the heavy asset expansion model of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, which requires higher capital requirements, and the investment period of pig breeding is too long, which is likely to cause tension or even rupture of the capital chain......"

The most important thing in pig raising is cost control, and the cost of pig raising in Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is not known to the outside world. Compared with the lower expansion cost of Wen's shares, Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is simply unanimously bullish, if Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is a listed company, the stock price will plummet.

For many individual farmers, they don't care about the expansion of Rausch's pig faucet, just facing the dilemma that the selling price cannot go up, the cost is increasing, and the pigs have to be fed, which has made them have a headache.

......

Pingshan County, in the western part of North China Hebei Province, is a state-level poverty-stricken county.

There are more than 300,000 acres of dry slope land in Pingshan County, these dry lands are very barren, farmers rely on the sky for food all year round, and the planting efficiency is extremely low, and they can only grow sweet potatoes every year, and the net income per mu is less than 500 yuan.

In order to increase income, as well as digest the sweet potatoes that are not easy to sell, every farmer in Pingshan County raises pigs.

Who would have thought that this year's pig prices plummeted, overproduction, pigs can only circulate in the county, only supported by local consumption, resulting in a large area of pigs to increase income, not to mention the cost can not be recovered.

The backlog of pigs in Pingshan County is getting more and more serious, and the price continues to fall without a bottom line, in the words of farmer Li Haiyuan, the price of hairy pigs is no longer comparable to the price of eggs.

Who would have thought that pigs raised after working hard for more than half a year would not be as expensive as eggs?

Li Haiyuan kept contacting the pig dealer for a month, but he still couldn't get out of the slaughter. Facing the eager gaze of his family, he shook his head helplessly: "There are many small retail investors like me around, raising more than 300 catties and more than 400 catties every day......

Moreover, according to the current minimum purchase price, they will lose about 300 or 400 yuan for every pig they sell, and if they raise dozens or hundreds of pigs, they will lose tens of thousands of yuan, which is simply a heavy loss.

Li Haiyuan tearfully watched the price of pigs diving all the way, and they couldn't sell it, and they dreamed of eating melon seeds and easily selling pigs at a good price like in previous years!

However, there is no such thing as a blessing, and there is no single line of evil. They also caught up with the reorganization of the local pig farms.

It turned out that Pingshan County, as the western ecological barrier of the provincial capital, was the source of drinking water in the provincial capital, and the pollution of the environment caused by large-scale pig breeding had begun to appear, and the province demanded that the pig farms be rectified.

When the news came, Li Haiyuan wanted to cry without tears.

Although he is also vaguely aware of the pollution of the environment caused by pig breeding in the county.

Many small and medium-sized pig farms have not gone through any environmental impact assessment procedures, and the manure and water are either dug in a pond or discharged directly into the nearest river.

In the past, the village could still use river water for irrigation, but now it can only use well water.

In particular, people who are close to the ponds that emit pig manure not only have to endure the strong foul smell in the air, but also dare not eat the shallow well water, because the shallow well water may have been polluted without any anti-seepage treatment.

According to investigators from the province, if this continues, pig farming will cause irreparable pollution of the local groundwater, and it must be rectified.

However, when we encounter such a dismal business moment, how should we rectify it?

Pig raising may seem like a trivial matter, but for Pingshan County, it is a big matter: one is to increase the income of farmers, the other is to protect the environment, and both are important matters of people's livelihood.

This is a real problem, with the local barren land endowment, you can only make a living by farming. Aquaculture income accounts for a large part of the villagers' income. The phrase "don't let them all go" is easy to say, but the farmers can't afford the consequences.

The requirements given by the province are to gradually reduce the amount of pigs raised, and establish standardized large-scale pig farms, but now the pigs in the hands of farmers cannot be sold, and the losses are also heavy when they are sold, and even many farmers are still burdened with loans, who has the capacity to build the so-called standardized pig farms?

Li Haiyuan is not only worried that the price of pigs will fall and will not be able to sell, but also worried that not being able to raise pigs in the future will affect the livelihood of the family, which is simply gloomy.

Then he got a message: "A company called Jiagu is here, and it is going to build a large pig farm in our county!"

Li Haiyuan was not happy at all, this was obviously a livelihood grab, is it difficult to welcome them?

Immediately, I got the news: "The farmers' pigs are harvested, and they are all harvested at cost price!"

Now Li Haiyuan has a smile, if someone said in previous years that someone would collect pigs at cost price, he wouldn't have glanced at it, but now he can sell it at cost price without losing money, which is a great thing!

"Is this company coming? When can we come to our village to collect pigs?" Li Haiyuan began to look forward to the early arrival of this company: "I really didn't expect that there would be a company that could help our people a lot!"

The follow-up is a wave of news: Jiagu plans to establish a pig farm with a stock of 800,000 heads in Pingshan County, and brought high-yield sweet potato varieties, through cooperation with the county government, it is determined that the sweet potato industry will be one of the industrial poverty alleviation projects in Pingshan County, to help farmers achieve planting poverty alleviation and prosperity.

Many farmers who are worried about their families' livelihoods are crying with joy and looking forward to the arrival of Jiagu!

......

After Qi Zheng arrived in Pingshan County, he saw the grateful expressions of the farmers at the Jiagu agricultural and animal husbandry pig harvest site, and said to Li Dongliang beside him: "Although our wave of pig collection seems to be a loss, we have won the hearts of the people of a county!"

If the purchased pork is sold now, even if there is its own sales channel such as Yonghui Fresh Supermarket, according to today's pork prices, it will definitely be a loss.

But judging from the current situation, after Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry assumed additional responsibilities, the investment in local pig farms was stable!
