Paper on Spring Festival consumption
Changes in some food prices around the Spring Festival Before and after the Spring Festival, the food supply in Jincheng market was sufficient, but due to the strong demand during the Spring Festival, the prices of major non-staple foods and important commodities changed. According to the market price survey of Jincheng Investigation Team of National Bureau of Statistics, the prices of staple foods such as pork and oil are running at a high level, and the prices of vegetables fluctuate greatly before and after the Spring Festival, and the prices have dropped significantly. First, the average price of oil rose after the holiday. Soybean oil rose from 12 yuan/kg last month to 13.4 yuan/kg. Sesame oil rose from 29 yuan/kg last month to 33 yuan/kg arowana soybean oil (5L) rose from 6 1 yuan/barrel last month to 65 yuan/barrel (excluding supermarkets). Arowana blending oil (5L) rose from 765430 last month. The increase in oil prices is mainly due to the increase in the cost of raw soybean oil, which is a cost-driven increase. The domestic soybean production has been reduced year after year, and the soybean production in the main producing areas has decreased, which has led to the increase in soybean purchase price. The sluggish demand for soybean meal, coupled with the shutdown of some oil plants, will force crushing enterprises to raise the price of soybean oil to maintain normal profits. Second, the average price of meat rose, the price of eggs fell, and the price of meat was running at a high level. Among them, pig hind legs rose from 26.3 yuan to 29.2 yuan per kilogram last month, pork belly rose from 25.5 yuan to 27.7 yuan, and beef rose from 3 1.2 yuan to 33.3 yuan. The increases were 1 1%, 8.6% and 6.7% respectively. The price of eggs dropped from 6.9 yuan last month to 6.2 yuan, with a drop of 1 1.3%. Because the Spring Festival is the peak season for pork consumption, the demand is large, and the heavy snow climate and the rising price of refined oil have increased the transportation cost of pigs. The price is still at a high level. It is expected that if a large number of live pigs can be listed in March, the price is expected to fall. The main reason for the drop in egg prices is that most families have more reserves during the Spring Festival, and the market demand for eggs has decreased. At the same time, laying hens also entered the peak period of laying eggs, and the output increased, which led to the decline of egg prices. Third, the average price of vegetables fell after the holiday. Before and after the Spring Festival, the prices of some vegetables changed obviously. In the early Spring Festival, due to the influence of the snow and ice weather in the south, the transportation was inconvenient and the price of vegetables gradually increased. On February 3, the price of vegetables reached its highest point. Among them, per kilogram of Chinese cabbage 1.93 yuan, fennel white 2.67 yuan, spinach 4.67 yuan, celery 3.87 yuan, leek 7.53 yuan, cauliflower 6.67 yuan, cucumber 9.47 yuan, tomato 6 yuan, eggplant 9.53 yuan, green pepper 10 yuan, and zucchini 7.67 yuan. After the Spring Festival, the price of vegetables in Jincheng market dropped. Among them, 1.6 yuan, fennel white 2.27 yuan, spinach 3.07 yuan, celery 3.33 yuan, leek 5.33 yuan, cauliflower 5.33 yuan, cucumber 4.8 yuan, tomato 4.53 yuan, eggplant 5.87 yuan, green pepper 7 yuan and zucchini 4.47 yuan per kilogram. The decreasing rates were 20.6%, 17.6%, 52%, 16.2%, 4 1.3%, 25. 1%, 97.3%, 32.5%, 62.4%, respectively. 1
