Just now,I watched the Economic Information of CCTV2,which reported continually increasing price of farm produce.
The report said the price will increase this year too and it wouldn't go back again.So consumers should try to adapt the situation.
I agree with it and I think the price of farm produce didn't reflect its value before.For example,some time ago,in my village,every family fed about two pigs just in order to eat up leftover.They earned less than 100 yuan per pig,though they didn't add the costs of food and workforce.In the end,most families refused to feed pigs again.Now,only 2 families still feed the pigs including my parents who won't do it next year.So,why doesn't the price of the pork soar?
Another key fator is the high price of petroleum.Because of the high price of the petroleum,many states decided to find its replacement and the ethanol is a better choice.So many factories were built to make it from food such as wheat,corn etc.And their prices soared greating while the crude oil increased.Thus,ethanol became a bridge of the price between the farm produce and industrial products.
Recently,the price of farm produce increased greatly all over the world and many governments took efforts to reduce the its exports.In China,the Customs began to levy an additional tax on farm produce if they were sold to foreign clients.
Nobody knows tomorrow's price of the farm price just like no one knows if the price of petroleum could go back to $20 a barrel.I think the better way,also the simple way,is to reduce the expenditure.
