Ministry of Commerce: Hubei Daily Necessities Prices Fall Further

Wang Bin said that the Ministry of Commerce has done a good job in supplying the daily necessities market, and mainly introduces the situation in three aspects:

The first is the supply of daily necessities in Hubei and Wuhan. In the past few days, Hubei's daily necessities market has been running steadily, the inventory has been basically stable, and the prices of daily necessities have fallen further. The province's key survey of commercial stocks of rice, noodles, cooking oil, poultry, and milk can guarantee a supply of 10-15 days, pork and eggs can guarantee a supply of about 5 days, and dynamic inventory of vegetables can guarantee a supply of about 3 days. This is dynamic inventory, and there is a continuous supply of supply after daily sales. The supply of daily necessities in Wuhan has clearly improved. On February 7th, vegetable trade volumes at Baishazhou and Sijimei wholesale markets reached around 3,000 tons, a sharp increase from the previous few days. Among them, 70% of the vegetable merchants in the Four Seasons Market have resumed business, and the meat in the three supermarkets of Wushang, Zhongbai and Zhongshang can meet the sales of 5-10 days. There are also some large enterprises whose inventory in Wuhan can meet the stock of frozen meat consumption for about 40 days.

The Wuhan Municipal Government is promoting the gradual restoration of the farmer's market operation and the organization of open-air street markets. As of February 8, 14 open-air street markets have opened. In the past two days, roadside market stalls have both durable and durable road vegetables such as potatoes, radishes, and green onions, as well as seasonal new leaf vegetables. Dalu dishes are mainly from Baishazhou, and Sijimei gathers goods from all over the country. Fresh leafy vegetables are mainly purchased by the stall owners in the road market to buy them in farming areas around Wuhan. These road markets are relatively open and there is no need to line up. The surrounding residents are still very willing to come here to purchase. In addition, some e-commerce platforms and large supermarkets have explored the pre-sale model of vegetable packages, which means that the order can be placed on WeChat the day before and can be picked up at the store the next day. This method improves efficiency and reduces The burden on distribution companies has reduced the concentration of people and is welcomed by citizens. This approach is worth promoting everywhere.

Do everything possible to increase the supply of livestock production

Kong Liang said that for animal husbandry and veterinary work, meat, eggs and milk are a necessity for ordinary people, and there can be no problems in production and supply.

Poultry meat has increased by 12.3%, beef and mutton by 3.2%, poultry eggs by 5.8%, and milk by 4.1%. Hog production is also accelerating. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, livestock production has been greatly affected due to some production stoppages, blocked transportation, and other reasons. In response to this problem, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs quickly moved to coordinate relevant ministries and commissions to accelerate the restoration of normal production and circulation order in various places. Got better results. The main things are:

First, strengthen market supply and demand monitoring and guide farmers to stabilize production.

Second, coordinate the relevant ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Communications to issue relevant notices urgently to promote local maintenance of normal circulation and production order, and support feed enterprises and livestock and poultry farming enterprises to resume work and resume production.

Thirdly, a hotline was opened to respond to the social concerns of the common people. Many problems were reflected through the hotline, and they were supervised and implemented point-to-point to guide local governments to correct and resolve them.

In the next step, we will do everything possible to increase the supply of livestock production to lay a solid material foundation for epidemic prevention and control.
