However, on the eve of 2023, there have been "four things" related to everyone recently, which frequently caused heated discussions on the Internet. What happened? Let's take a look, please express your opinions.
First of all, pork prices continue to fall.
As the saying goes, pork is safe in the world, which shows the position of pork in the eyes of ordinary people. We are a country with a strong preference for pork, and we consume about 54-56 million tons of pork every year. Pork is an indispensable frequent visitor on the table of residents, so the change of pork price has a high degree of social collection.
Since June 5438+ 10, the market price of live pigs has been declining, from the peak of 14.2 yuan to the current 9.47 yuan/kg. The price of a kilo of pigs has dropped by nearly 5 yuan, and the price of pork has also been affected. At present, the mainstream retail price of pork in various places has dropped to about 16-20 yuan/kg, with an average decrease of 4% and 5% per kg.
According to the latest data monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the average price of pork in the national agricultural products wholesale market is 30. 18 yuan/kg, which is 1.3% lower than yesterday. The price of pork has dropped to 15.09 yuan/kg, which is still relatively close to the people.
Beef in the national agricultural products wholesale market was 78. 17 yuan/kg, down 0.3% from yesterday; Mutton 67.8 1 yuan/kg, up 0.3% from yesterday; Eggs 1 1.99 yuan/kg, down 0.4% from yesterday.
The sharp drop in pork prices is indeed a good thing for consumers, but recently the price of live pigs on the market has risen again, and the increase is relatively large. It is estimated that pork prices will gradually rise next. Everyone is going to prepare meat for the Spring Festival. Personally, I think we can do it now.
Let's take a look at the pig price quotation: the national pig price has risen like a rainbow, among which the province with a large increase: Shanxi Province, the pig price per catty has increased by 9 cents, and the quotation is 9.5- 10.4 yuan/catty; Anhui rose 8 cents, 9.8- 10.65 yuan/kg; Jiangsu rose 8 cents, 9.9- 10.7 yuan/kg; Hubei rose 8 cents, 9.5- 10.2 yuan/kg; Other regions rose by 0.2-0.7 yuan. See the table below for specific quotations:
The rise in pig prices has been hinted in previous articles, and there is a high probability of "retaliatory" rise, which has already happened.
Personally, I think that the low pig price has appeared this year. Next, during the period before the Spring Festival, during the peak season of two large-scale consumption and seasonal consumption, the prices of live pigs and pork will probably be a volatile market.
Second, will the ban on setting off firecrackers be loosened?
Setting off fireworks is a folk custom that has lasted for thousands of years. It is said that the ancients set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve to drive away a monster named Xi. The ancient book Jingchu Chunqiu once recorded that on the first day of the first month, when the rooster crowed for the first time, everyone got up and set off firecrackers in their yard to drive away evil spirits.
After thousands of years of evolution, setting off firecrackers has become an important activity and feature of China New Year. It is not only a folk custom, but also a historical inheritance of China traditional culture.
However, in recent years, due to environmental protection, safety and other factors, some places have introduced policies prohibiting the discharge of fireworks and firecrackers, and some places have used electronic firecrackers or other means to replace the discharge. Of course, there are also different opinions on prohibition.
Recently, the news about setting off fireworks has become a hot spot, and it is also a good news that makes the general public extremely happy. That is, an article in People's Daily entitled "A word to the local government: it is not appropriate to ban firecrackers" has been widely collected by netizens all over the country. It is estimated that all places where firecrackers are prohibited will seriously consider this proposal. There should be some places where fireworks and firecrackers are forbidden, and residents can resume setting off firecrackers during the Spring Festival. Let's wait and see!
On this issue, the author strongly agrees with the People's Daily's suggestion for the following reasons:
First, setting off fireworks is an important part of China's traditional culture, especially the "Lunar New Year Culture". No other form of celebration can replace setting off firecrackers.
Second, setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the New Year is an integral part of our national culture and one of the characteristics that distinguish our Chinese nation from other countries and nations. Just like "Zongzi" we eat on Dragon Boat Festival, "jiaozi" on New Year's Day, "playing with dragon lanterns" on Lantern Festival and "enjoying the moon" on Mid-Autumn Festival, they are all our national elements and cannot be discarded.
I don't know what you think.
Third, the market oil price continues to fall.
At present, China has become one of the countries with a large number of motor vehicles, among which the number of motor vehicles reaches 3180,000, and the change of gasoline price involves hundreds of millions of families.
There is a lot of good news in the finished product market recently. At the last price adjustment node, the price of gasoline per liter was lowered by 0.34-0.37 yuan/liter, and the No.92 gasoline in most areas fell below 8 yuan.
The following table is the latest oil price quotations in various places:
The next oil price adjustment node is February 19 at 24: 00. According to the current oil price statistics, the latest crude oil change rate is -7.53%, and the oil price drops by 5 10 yuan/ton, down by 0.39-0.46 yuan/liter.
According to the current oil price level, if the oil price does not fall in the next three working days and remains at the current level, then 92 # gasoline will drop to about 7.5 yuan/liter, and filling up the 50-liter fuel tank will save about 20 yuan.
Fourth, the pensions of farmers in some areas have been raised.
Recently, it was reported that some places claimed to increase farmers' pensions, with the monthly increase of 5 yuan, 8 yuan and 10 yuan.
Judging from the current situation of pensions in various places, farmers' pensions in some places are still not low, and six provinces and cities surpass 200 yuan every month. From high to low, each person in Shanghai receives 1.200 yuan, 887 yuan in Beijing, 307 yuan in Tianjin, 2 15 yuan in Tibet and 2 15 yuan in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
Other regions are 103- 199 yuan/person/month, and the payment standards of Heilongjiang, Yunnan, Hunan, Sichuan and Liaoning are all below 1 10 yuan.
Generally speaking, the current basic pension for farmers is not high, and most areas are still above 100 yuan, and only a few developed areas have more pensions. On the issue of farmers' pension, many NPC deputies and CPPCC members called for an appropriate increase in farmers' pension standards. Among them, Zheng Fengtian, a deputy to the National People's Congress, proposed that farmers over 60 years old should receive 500 yuan pension every month at the age of 70 and 800 yuan pension every month at the age of 80.
This proposal is undoubtedly good news for farmers. I believe that with the development of China's economy, farmers' pensions will gradually increase, and this goal will be realized as soon as possible.
Dear friends, what do you think of the four major events: the decline in pork prices, the plunge in oil prices, the lifting of the ban on firecrackers and the increase in farmers' pensions? Welcome to express your views for the reference of netizens all over the country.
