2007 Pork Route (Chronicle), Yisuo Network, Blog Translation

Our country is a big pork consumer. In 2006, the total pork output in our country reached 51.97 million tons, accounting for half of the world's pork production. There is a saying among the people that the year of pig will be prosperous every month. Unexpectedly, this golden pig in 2007 was really prosperous. Since the beginning of the year, the price of the "meat market" has been rising. May became a turning point, an eventful month. The stock market soared that month and set a new historical record; pork prices also soared to a new historical high. At the turn of spring and summer, pork has become the hottest keyword after the stock market. Although there are many factors leading to the nationwide rise in meat prices, generally speaking, May and June should be the off-season for pork consumption. Such abnormal sharp rise is bound to attract attention.
