CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Grass carp has broken through the ten yuan mark, and crucian carp has almost doubled. Why are the prices of freshwater fish rising so fast?

On the one hand, it is due to the impact of the epidemic, and on the other hand, the prices of fish fry and fish feed have increased.

Grass carp is a common food ingredient in our daily life. Its price used to be around six yuan at most, but now its price has exceeded ten yuan.

Faced with such a situation, many citizens have directly stated that they cannot afford to eat it. It is indeed surprising that the price of freshwater fish has risen so quickly.

So, what are the reasons that lead to this phenomenon? Let's analyze it together.

First, because of the impact of the epidemic.

One of the reasons why the price of freshwater fish has risen so fast is because of the impact of the epidemic. Due to previous factors, many farmers have had poor sales.

The price of freshwater fish has risen so much because the epidemic has caused sluggish sales and affected the normal cycle of fish farmers.

During the epidemic, farmers could only store fish in ponds and could not sell them normally, resulting in the inability to raise new fish fry.

Second, because the price of fish fry has risen

According to the chief of the Fisheries and Fishery Administration Section of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, the price of fish fry has also increased a lot nowadays.

Because the costs of farmers have increased a lot, the price of freshwater fish has risen so fast. This is actually a cyclical process.

Under normal circumstances, such problems would not occur, and they are all caused by the impact of the epidemic.

Third, because of the increase in fish feed

Another reason is the rising price of fish feed. As the cost of fish farmers increases, the price naturally rises a lot as well.

There is no way to lower the price for the time being. I believe that as the epidemic stabilizes, the price of freshwater fish will gradually return to normal.

Previously, pork prices increased, and now the prices of freshwater fish have increased so much. Some netizens also said that the next price increase might be food prices.

I think this still depends on the recovery of the epidemic situation. If the epidemic is under stable control, the chances of prices rising again are very small.

During the 2020 epidemic, many farmers increased the amount of fish in their ponds. However, due to the epidemic, the consumption of fish did not increase, so the amount of fish in the ponds was increased, which disrupted the normal breeding cycle of some farmers, so there is a problem with the breeding volume this year. In addition, the price of fish fry is rising, and the price of fish feed is also rising. These factors have led to an increase in the price of freshwater fish.

The main reason is that people now have a high demand for fish, and every household needs to eat it, so the price of fish has also risen accordingly.

Affected by the 2020 epidemic, many farmers increased the amount of fish in their ponds, but did not increase consumption, disrupting the normal breeding cycle of the aquaculture industry. However, this year there is a problem with the breeding capacity, the price of fish fry is rising, and the price of fish feed is also rising. This is why the price of freshwater fish has risen so fast.

It is probably due to the impact of the recent floods, which has led to a relatively rare number of freshwater fish, and the current price of freshwater fish is relatively expensive.
