In recent days, the autumn mood in Hong Kong has been getting stronger. Today (17th) the lowest temperature in the urban area dropped to only 22.9 degrees. People who love the "side stove" have many reasons and good times to surround the stove, and the fat cow is the hot pot favorite of Hong Kong people.
However, whether frozen meat or fresh beef is facing the problem of high prices of incoming goods, there will still be pressure to increase prices in the future.
Some frozen meat merchants pointed out that the imported frozen meat in the United States has been greatly reduced, and the price is about 20 yuan per pound of meat. Therefore, it is predicted that the price will be increased next month: "The goods are like gold, and they will be added every day (incoming price)." Fresh meat stalls also revealed that Wufenghang, which acts as an agent for live cattle, will increase prices this Thursday (21st) after increasing prices earlier this year. It is expected that the price per head will be increased by more than 2,000 yuan, and only the retail price of beef will be increased at that time.

Epidemic meets Qiuliang again, but frozen meat shop: the worst business this year
Ms. Huang has been specializing in frozen meat and meatballs for 6 years, and she bluntly said that this year's business is the worst.

In addition to being affected by the weather, the price of incoming goods has also risen sharply.
Huang revealed that incoming goods in the United States are now drastically reduced, and each pound of meat is about 20 yuan more expensive: "The goods are like gold. The price is added every day (incoming prices)." In addition, the economy has been hit hard by the impact of the epidemic. The business volume has also been greatly reduced.
She said that the price of incoming goods has increased sharply and she has already announced to regular customers that the price will increase next month. Take the American Angus Beef Cattle as an example, the price will increase from 68 yuan to 78 yuan a pound next month.

Fresh beef wholesale price plus 8% on Thursday
As for the meat stalls selling fresh beef, the incoming price is also expensive.
Mr. Wei, the "Sanchang Beef Cattle" at the Yangwu Road Market, said that at the beginning of this year, Wufenghang had increased the price by about 6 to 7%. Based on the calculation of about 600 catties per cow, the price has increased by about 1,000 yuan. Fengxing will increase the price again, and it is expected that the price will increase by about 8%, that is, a cow will increase the price by more than 2,000 yuan.
He explained that the mainland beef is not enough to cope with domestic sales, so the price of incoming goods has risen sharply.
As the price of incoming goods will increase again, Boss Wei estimates that the price can only be increased after the 21st of this month, but the extent of the price increase can only be assessed depending on the quality of the beef.
He also pointed out that this year's turnover is indeed small, and it is estimated that due to the impact of the epidemic, the public's consumer sentiment has been greatly reduced.
