The reason for this round of price increase of aquatic feed is the increase in raw materials.

On August 7th and 8th, Hanshou Tongwei and Changde Tongwei issued aquatic feed price increase notices. Both price increase notices stated that the price of raw materials has increased significantly recently. In order to ensure product quality and better safeguard the fundamental interests of our customers and friends, we have decided to increase the price of aquatic feed from 0:00 on August 8 and 0:00 on August 10 respectively. The price of products will be increased, with the price increase range of conventional pellet materials and conventional expanded materials ranging from 100-125 yuan/ton.

The reporter learned from many aquatic feed companies in Hunan that due to the increasing pressure on raw material prices, although most companies did not immediately follow the increase, they all expressed plans to increase prices in the near future. The relevant person in charge of Hunan Haid said that the company has not yet raised prices, but is making plans. It is expected that the industry will gradually increase feed prices in the near future.

Some of the companies interviewed said that although they have not raised prices yet, they will follow up in order to ensure quality. The person in charge of a company said that his company always adheres to high quality and high price. This year, the price of pellets of the same grade is much higher than the feed price of some companies that have increased prices. "Even if others increase their price by 100 yuan/ton, it will still be about 50 yuan/ton lower than the current company price."
