How is the treatment of raising pigs in Muyuan?

The benefits of Muyuan pig farming are not very stable in the entire industry. When the industry is good, the annual income can be hundreds of thousands, but when the pork market goes down, it may result in losses. As of February 24, 2020, the national average pig price was around 22 yuan per pound. Some farmers were lucky enough not to encounter the epidemic. These farmers are relatively profitable.

For small and medium-sized pig farms in Muyuan, when the market is good, they can earn three to five million or one to two million. Last year, when the price of pigs was the cheapest, it was only five or six yuan per pound. Many pig farms either did not make money, and some even lost money. If the money earned this year is averaged, it has actually made up for the previous shortfall.

Because raising pigs is not a job or a part-time job, you will be paid for how many days you work. The initial investment in raising pigs is huge, including building a pig farm, buying breeding pigs, fattening, feed ingredients, etc. After all the hardware facilities of the pig farm are completed, this is just the beginning. The price of pigs varies every year. Pig prices as high as in 2020 have not been encountered in the past ten years.

It is not easy to make money by raising pigs. Everyone has heard of the famous pig cycle theory. Pig raising means making money every year and losing money every year. This is the most common cycle. But in many cases it is not a three-year cycle. Sometimes it is a profit in one year, a loss in two years, and a loss in two years.

Some farmers have been raising pigs for five years. After a comprehensive calculation, they found that they have worked in vain for five years without making a profit or losing money. This does not include the problems encountered in raising pigs. Every farmer has to face the costs of pig diseases, vaccines, feed, pig farm procedures, manure treatment and other expenses. Therefore, in general, the treatment of Muyuan pigs is not very stable in the entire industry.
