As pork prices keep soaring, Chengli builds premium aluminum-alloy pig transport trucks for the "golden pig"; with pork prices climbing steadily, pigs themselves have risen in value and are now truly golden pigs. China's pork supply gap has also attracted the world's largest pig farming company, Danish Crown, to enter the Chinese market. Founded in 1887, the company is now the world's largest pork exporter, exporting meat products to nearly 130 countries worldwide, with annual sales exceeding RMB 66 billion. It has established its first production base in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. As soon as the news broke, domestic pork enterprises and 40 million pig farmers could no longer sit still…
In such a booming market, Chengli Auto Group has also increased its production and R&D investment in special vehicles for the livestock industry, including various bulk feed trucks, livestock and poultry transport trucks, and harmless disposal trucks. Recently, Chengli Auto Group has built a premium ride for pigs——a premium all-aluminum pig transport truck. For details, please contact the Van Truck Market Department Manager of Chengli Auto Group (WeChat ID: 18871133000).
Chengli's premium all-aluminum pig transport truck uses an original Dongfeng China VI commercial vehicle chassis. The cab is white and equipped with original air conditioning, power steering, ABS and spring brakes. The box body is made of all-aluminum material with an internal insulation structure. The box is divided into 3 layers, and 2 of the layers can be raised and lowered hydraulically; through the hydraulic system, the partition boards can be lifted and lowered. Each layer is fitted with compartment dividers, and the dividers are reinforced by welded carbon steel round tubes. The watering system delivers and feeds liquid water through a liquid feed tank, pipeline pump, pipes and drinking nozzles. The spraying system consists of a pneumatic water tank, pipes, nozzles and a wastewater collection tank, providing spray cooling for the livestock and keeping the box clean. The temperature control system uses an onboard refrigerator, heater blower, gas mixing and delivery chamber and box exhaust fan to ensure air circulation and constant temperature in the livestock living space. The rear door opens automatically through the hydraulic system, forming a passage for piglets to enter and exit the box, and is fitted with guardrails. A mini generator is provided to power the relevant equipment. Cameras are installed on each layer inside the box. This ensures the safety and comfort of the pigs throughout the entire transport process.
Affected by African swine fever, pork prices across the country have kept rising, up 11%. So what has caused pork prices to keep climbing?
Experts analyze three major reasons behind the sharp rise in pork prices:
1. Farmers have proactively reduced production capacity out of fear of African swine fever
African swine fever is a major factor affecting hog inventory and slaughter volume. According to CCTV's "Economic News Broadcast", many farmers have cleared their hog pens. In fact, most of those who cleared their pens had not experienced ASF outbreaks; it was more a panic clearance to minimize losses for fear that an outbreak might occur. After all, ASF has a severe impact with a 100% mortality rate, and once it breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable.
2. Impacted by the reduction in hog inventory and slaughter volume
(1) The rise in pork prices is directly related to the reduction in hog inventory and slaughter volume. As hog inventory and slaughter volume decline, slaughterhouses face greater pressure in purchasing hogs and raise their purchase prices; pork supply also falls, and as demand outstrips supply, pork prices rise.
(2) In the first half of the year, national pork output fell by 5.5%; hog slaughter volume reached 313.46 million head, down 6.2% year on year; and hog inventory reached 347.61 million head, down 15% year on year. Every province saw a decline of varying degrees. In Chinese residents' meat consumption, pork accounts for as much as 75%, while beef and mutton together account for about 10%. So it is obviously not feasible to try to replace pork with other meats. Given the huge hog shortfall, rising meat prices are normal according to the law of supply and demand.
3. Resuming production remains a challenge
Although the domestic epidemic has passed its peak period, it has not been fully contained. Recently the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced that African swine fever outbreaks have occurred in some cities and districts of Hubei Province. Although news of ASF vaccine development occasionally emerges, progress remains very slow, and there is still a long way to go before a vaccine can truly reach the market.
Some experts believe that with the arrival of the pork consumption peak season, pork consumption will gradually rise. On the supply side, as panic selling ends in some regions, the country will face a nationwide hog shortage later on, and the marginal supply-demand gap will continue to widen, so pork prices may still rise.
