Abstract: The macrocontrol measures of pork market have become a significant issue which is closely related to peoples livelihood and popular feelings. It has also become a great task for government dealing with inflation and stable supply. Since 2007, the government has taken more macrocontrol measures to rein in pork prices, but the periodic fluctuation of pork prices has been intensified. Through analyses, the paper has pointed out the following opinions. The reserve policies in the light of pork circulation area can stabilize pork prices to some extent. However, the expected effects of macrocontrol measures on production area were far from satisfactory whether in the aspect of strength or direction. The comprehensive effects on production area have contrarily increased the fluctuation of pork prices. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the effects of macrocontrol measures separately from the circulation aspect and production aspect when effects of those government measures are studied.

Key words: pork prices, macrocontrol measures, effects, Zhejiang
