Ms. Huang, who lives on Quxi Road in Huangpu District, hasn't been to the market to buy groceries for some days.

It seems that pork and eggs are a bit more expensive than before? Ms. Huang muttered to herself.
The situation is indeed like this. The vendor told Ms. Huang that compared to the same period last month, the purchase price of white meat has increased by about 3 yuan per kilogram; The purchase price of eggs has also increased by 1 yuan per kilogram compared to the same period last month.
In fact, the rise in domestic pig prices began in late July. According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the price of live pigs reached a new high of 17.61 yuan/kg on August 3rd this year. On August 8th, the average wholesale price of pork reached 22.74 yuan/kg, an increase of over 20% from the lowest price of 18.78 yuan in July.
The reporter learned from Shanghai Vegetable Group that from August 1st to August 15th, the wholesale trading volume of pork in the vegetable group was 118590 heads, a year-on-year increase of 3.44%; The average price is 21.52 yuan/kg, with a year-on-year increase of 21.17%. The price of eggs in Jiangyang Agricultural Products Wholesale Market is 5.6 yuan/jin for foreign eggs, 5.8 yuan/jin for grass eggs, and 5.9 yuan/jin for grass eggs.
The official WeChat account from the wholesale market of Shanghai Agricultural Products Center shows that on August 15th, the average wholesale price of pork for various varieties in the Shangnong batch was 29 yuan per kilogram for pork ribs, 25.8 yuan per kilogram for sandwich meat, and 25.8 yuan per kilogram for boneless hind legs... all of which have increased compared to the same period last month.
Why did pork and eggs experience an upward trend? According to expert analysis, due to recent rainfall in most parts of China, pig production has been affected, resulting in a short-term decrease in market supply. Coupled with the sustained downturn in pig prices in the first half of the year, market sentiment towards price increases has boosted pig prices. However, compared to the same period last year, pig prices are still significantly lower. Looking ahead to the future, as the weather improves and demand stabilizes, pig prices will tend to stabilize.
The rise in the price of eggs was first boosted by seasonal demand such as Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day and stocking up before school starts. Secondly, during the Xiaoshu and Dashu seasons of over a month, due to the relatively high temperature, the appetite of laying hens is affected, resulting in a significant decrease in egg production. As the weather cools down in the future, egg prices will enter a stable period.
