US - A major trade crisis between the US and Mexico has been averted after a preliminary agreement was reached earlier this week (6 June). The agreement has helped to ward off steep taxes on Mexican sugar imports.In response to this new agreement, National Pork Producers' Council (NPPC) President Ken Maschoff issued a statement saying,"America’s pork producers congratulateCommerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and his team for negotiating a sugar deal in principle with Mexico that works for both sides. The last thing we need going into the NAFTA modernization talks is a black cloud hanging over the discussions.
6月6日早8点,美国与墨西哥达成一个初步协议,因此避免了两国之间的一个重大贸易危机。该协议有助于帮助墨西哥糖类进口产品,避免被美国征收高关税。国家猪肉生产商委员会(NPPC)对此协议作出回应,主席Ken Maschoff发表一份声明称:“美国的广大猪肉生产商们祝贺商务部部长Wilbur Ross和他的团队为两国双方努力协调,与墨西哥谈判,在原则上达成一致。美国猪肉生产商协会在即将进行的北美自由贸易协定现代化会谈中最不希望看到的就是笼罩在谈判上的不安因素。”
中国猪肉价格上涨的原因:
8月14日,商务部部长助理黄海就猪肉价格持续上涨接受新华社记者采访时指出:猪肉价格上涨,最根本的原因是猪肉供不应求,拉动价格上涨。他还特别强调,国内外饲料价格持续上涨,加大养殖成本,对生猪供应产生不利影响。国内市场玉米价格持续上涨,直接影响到养殖成本。7月10日全国玉米平均价格达每吨1650元,较4月中旬上涨7.1%,平均每吨上涨110元。国际市场饲料价格今年以来也一路上扬,今年6月美国芝加哥期货交易所玉米期货价格同比上涨57.6%,大豆价格上涨39.7%。6月12日,国家发改委、农业部、商务部有关司局的负责同志做客中国政府网,就猪肉涨价问题也谈了自己的看法。发展改革委价格司副司长周望军在谈到粮食涨价情况时,说是主要是受国际市场价格的拉动。他说,由于美国大量使用玉米生产燃料乙醇,大量使用大豆生产生物柴油。美国玉米产量占全世界的40%,贸易量占全世界的60%。玉米是主要饲料的来源,美国大量的使用玉米深加工生产乙醇之后,导致美国玉米价格大幅上升,近一两年总涨幅达到了60%—70%。由于整个玉米、大豆价格上涨,导致粮食储备减少,导致整个粮价上涨。
