Japanese media: Chinese hot pot to eat Japanese beef rice
The Japanese beef rice chain the price since April.Although there are out of deflation, rising prices and excise tax increases the trigger, but the main or because beef prices.In February last year Japan eased restrictions on imports of U.S. beef.The law of supply increases price decline but why here is broken?
The Japanese beef rice companies increases
Before march, "yoshino home", "loose" and "food home (SUKIYA)" ordinary beef rice prices are the same, all the tax rate to each bowl of 280 yen (about $16 yuan).Yoshino holding with April excise tax increases, use place more than two weeks, more flavor of beef, the price raised 20 yen.
In July, loose house also began to use "cooked meat", the original replace cold fresh meat, frozen meat is made in "advanced" beef rice, sold at the price of 380 yen.Consumption tax increases after-tax "food" to their homes have down the price of beef rice 10 yen, but its holding company (ZENSHO) prime holdings begins in late August, 21 yen prices rise again.
Prices for many reasons, including the yen, shortage of lead to rising labor and so on.But Japan's meat industry stakeholders agree the reason is, beef prices "beyond expectations".
Beef rice using called "chest meat (Short Plate)" of American beef pork belly, the transaction price in Japan for about 1000 ~ 1000 yen per kilogram, rising 90% a year.Near the highest in eight years.Each bowl of beef rice beef consumption is 120 grams.A Japanese auspicious economic research institute, chief researcher at shark island cheng ichiro said, "now every bowl of beef rice food cost 40 yen from a year ago to improve, in more than 150 yen".If a price 300 yen per bowl, the cost of ingredients proportion will reach 50%, more than is considered 40% of the profit and loss line.
In February 2013, Japan eased restrictions on imports of U.S. beef, will import objects from the "growing" under 20 months to relax the "growth period under 30 months.6 times had expected due to the import of the target object to expand and increase supply will cause prices to fall.In fact Japanese beef imports of 230000 tons last year, increased by 50% over the previous year.But only for half a year after just relaxing restrictions on 10 ~ 20%, and then there was rising sharply.
During the year, the yen depreciated about 10% against the dollar, U.S. beef wholesale price has gone up by about 30%.In the United States, 2010-2012 in the aftermath of the drought continues.More and more farmers because of shortage of feed the beef cattle are slaughtered in advance the meat.As a result, at the beginning of this year, the United States beef cattle herds have fallen to below 90 million head, lowest on record since 1952.
Due to the beef cattle can only breed once a year, even if the prices are not immediately.The U.S. meat export federation said "number of beef cattle will rebound in 2016".Two-day food and animal material pool and the second minister ji said, "can breed cows for postponing tendency of slaughter is also very significant. Shipments to reduce than expected this summer, pushing the price increases".
But there are individual view, even if a few years later, the United States beef cattle breeding stock recovered, will not return to the previous low cow bellies.This is because the last 10 years China become the meat consumption power, global meat trade pattern has changed.
The cow bellies to Chinese hotpot
Yoshino home use the chest meat production began in 1971.In America then, "said the fillet of beef steak will be considered to be used as meat", and almost no sell cow bellies, and the price is very cheap, but by the yoshino put the pork belly into products for the Japanese market.Later, the Japanese beef rice chain began at 300 ~ 300 yen per kg price purchasing chest meat.
In December 2003, the outbreak of mad cow disease in the United States, the situation has changed.Japan for two and a half years to stop imports of U.S. beef.To approve the import, prone to prevent mad cow disease - cattle into the Japanese market, set a limit on the growing season.In Japan during the stop importing, chest meat lose market, yoshino holdings said, "the United States began to develop in emerging markets like China".
Affected by the outbreak of mad cow disease, China banned the import of U.S. beef.But it has been traded through Hong Kong and other countries.Hong Kong beef imports of 130000 tons last year to more than three times before the outbreak of mad cow disease.Large meat wholesalers said, "cow bellies in China is mainly used for hot pot, very popular in China than Japan's purchase price, fully grasp the initiative".
Shark island said, "if beef is that price, a bowl of beef rice at around 400 yen more reasonable".No matter whether Japan can get rid of deflation, as one of the symbol of cheap beef rice has not the possibility of resurrection.
