It is understood that the MSC and the county Dongtai, Jiangsu Province is well-known breeding area layer, in which the Dongtai Tang Yang, Xu Zhen, and so he is more "chicken town". However, Hai'an, Dongtai 6 eggs produced are sold into the region such as Shanghai and other Yangtze River Delta, most of the rest of the eggs on the ground "to digest."

Guangdong, one of the industry, revealed to reporters in the north of Guangdong is indeed a lot of eggs, into a 7 or so, but mainly from Dalian, Liaoning, Henan, Hebei and other regions, Jiangsu Province, eggs sold Guangdong is not essential, and other products, such as laying hens Out of the old hen rarely enter Guangdong.

Guangdong layer industry is yet to be affected

Jiangsu layer was detected positive for bird flu, Guangdong layer of how the industry will be affected? The industry generally believes that the price of eggs is indeed down, but not the main reason is bird flu in Jiangsu, but the social environment of recession, leading to decreased consumption.

Jiangsu talk about avian flu, the Agriculture Co., Ltd. Ise Heyuan, deputy general manager Li Guanfeng that does not understand how, just know that there have been over there such a thing. He said that in the near future Ise some fluctuations in the prices of eggs, but sales did not change much, "dealer did not give us any feedback information."

Guangzhou, Seoul Li Sheng eggs even South-hui, general manager of the avian flu is not "a cold." He asked that the avian flu has occurred so many years, the industry is to crack down on the obvious, but there are not many industries as a result of people who had chicken and bird flu this! "It is only tested positive, even if the bird flu outbreak, do not have to care too much."

Turning to the recent drop in prices of eggs, even the South-hui has complained that up. He said that the price of eggs would have been in a downward channel, and avian flu, it misfortunes never come singly. However, even that the South-hui, egg prices and sales both fell, was not caused by bird flu, but since the second half of this year, the decline in spending power caused by.

The financial impact of the tsunami in almost all sectors, including industry layers. Even South-hui said that the support layer for more than a decade, the annual market in November this year, no recession, "feeling worse day than the day." He said that in previous years, according to the normal market, after entering the National Day in November, the plants begin to make food New Year require a large amount of eggs, but obviously feel demand this year. "In addition, we have a lot of eggs in the company's direct access to major restaurants, restaurant sales less, for example, take 10 boxes of the past, now 5, as long as me, that very few people to enter the restaurant consumption." He said.

Analysis of the industry, despite the Jiangsu layer of avian flu on the impact of Guangdong, but the industry as a whole layer will be a blow. The source said that the eggs containing the melamine crisis has not completely past, present, industry and usher in a layer of bird flu blow to public confidence in the consumption of eggs will certainly be weakened market outlook is not optimistic.
