In fact, Putian is not the first area in Fujian to limit pork purchases.
At the end of July, Xiamen City has provided a 5% preferential subsidy for pork-based agricultural products from 96 affordable stores, but each citizen has ordered a limit of 5 kg each time.

Many netizens complained: "Do you calculate that you can buy a few pounds of meat for your salary?" "The rhythm of eating the soil!"
On the 22nd, Weibo also uploaded a meat price adjustment notice from Shanghai Aisen Meat Food Co., indicating that all kinds of pork prices have risen from the next day, and the tenderloin has risen from 42.8 yuan/kg to 49.8 yuan/kg. 16%, while the small row increased from 28.8 yuan / kg to 35.8 yuan / kg, an increase of up to 24%.
In addition, Guizhou has begun to implement the daily distribution of 7 live pigs. "Free Asia" radio interviewed the strict name of the local meat stalls. He said: There is no pig in the pig farm, and the pig was buried alive. There are only 7 pigs in a county town, limited supply.
The strict surname owner also said that the current price of pork in the country has risen, and the price of local pigs has also soared. Moreover, there are still many people who are afraid of African pigs, do not dare to eat pork and high prices, and the next Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang and other peak seasons will be more troublesome.
In response to the growing shortage of pork, the State Council’s executive meeting of the State Council on the 21st issued regulations for the allocation of pigs in various provinces and cities. Among them, Sichuan, a large pig raising province, directly allocated the annual minimum number of stalls to cities and towns. Afterwards, the CCP officially recognized the pork supply crisis for the first time.
The meeting pointed out that since the fourth quarter of last year, the supply situation of live pigs has been severe, and the production capacity of live pigs and breeding sows has decreased by 32.2% and 31.9% over the same period of last year.
China produces 700 million pigs a year, accounting for about 50% of the world's pigs.
Since August 3 last year, the first African swine fever epidemic in mainland China has spread from Shenyang to Guangdong and Guangdong since the outbreak of the three northeastern provinces. In just over 8 months, the epidemic has spread throughout mainland China, resulting in a pig-shaped cliff. cut back.
According to data released by the US Department of Agriculture in April, the African swine fever epidemic may cause China's pig production this year to drop from 710 million last year to more than 200 million.
On the same day, at the regular press conference held by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the Communist Party of China, experts initially expected that the pork price increase in the second half of the year may exceed 70%, a record high.
Lai Xiusui, an authoritative scholar in Taiwan's veterinary profession, once said that the African swine fever virus is "a pig's HIV" and it is very difficult. Europe was "fallen" in 1957. The first European country that came out of African swine fever was Portugal. After 1980, it spread to France and Belgium. After 42 years in Portugal, Spain was cleared after 34 years.
There are still 17 countries in Europe still have African swine fever. There are currently no effective vaccines and treatments for African swine fever. Its virus can survive for a thousand days in frozen pork. The epidemic is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate of up to 100%.
Lai Xiu-Sui believes that since this malignant animal infectious disease has entered the mainland, the CCP has never recorded it. African swine fever may have been on the mainland for decades or centuries.
Chen Bingzhong, an official of the former Ministry of Health of the Chinese Communist Party, said that the CCP concealed the epidemic and seriously deregulated its supervision, which is the cause of the expansion of the epidemic area.
Bloomberg News reported on March 26 that people familiar with the matter disclosed that China may purchase up to 300,000 metric tons of US pork in 2019. This figure will be about 80% more than the 166,000 tons of pork purchased from the United States before the trade war.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the Communist Party of China estimates that the total amount of pork imports in China will increase by 28% this year.
