"Press gourd ladle and up," to show the very image of the direction of the current agricultural prices. From "garlic you malicious", "bean you play" to "ginger you army" "sugar the emperor" and then to "oil you up" "Ping what".Many agricultural prices soared, let some low-income families dialogue, engel's coefficient all the way walk tall, quality of life, down. These families are not a university graduation soon after the 80 small husband and wife. Xiao Chen and small square, a pair of 80 small couple, a see I will suffer badly, because for a set of small family secondhand room, a month to maintain daily life money only one thousand yuan, the economic base of the fragile agricultural prices prices family on particularly sensitive, food consumption expenditures, wage bonus piaffe, will only enhance their engel's coefficient. The so-called Engel's coefficient (Engel 'sCoefficient), is the total food expenses personal consumption expenditure the proportion of amount. The coefficient calculation way is: home food spending and total divide; Family total consumer spending and times; 100%.
According to the United Nations food and agriculture organization of the standard, the engel's coefficient in more than 59% of poverty; 50%-59% for food and clothing; 40%-50% for a well-off; Less than 40% for rich. So, see a national, a period of the residents living standards, not only to see its income level, also want to see its food spending proportion, especially to see its agricultural prices level. Here take America
For example, I know of a 10 years ago immigrated to the U.S. from Hong Kong, Mr. Huang is now a hotel room competent, his family income is more than $60000, raising two children, in the United States belong to just qualified middle class. He told us, the more than $60000 in addition to pay federal tax, state tax and housing property tax and buy social insurance will remove about $20000, except for building a year and take out 28000 dollars, the two car payments from the thousands of dollars, plus education and medical spending, and the rest of the money used for living expenses, and also a year 89000 dollars, a month on average about $7800, including food spending per month after dollars at most. So he and many American families, money is spent to bare, are generally no savings. Mr. Huang said, the house of his food spending about of its total income of about 12%. He said, the engel's coefficient, and can't explain their life is very rich, and can only say, than americans for the income level, the agricultural products price is really cheap, so the average American society, the engel's coefficient is about 12.5. Later, Mr. Huang led us to a supermarket near Washington, this is called the "greater China" super market, obviously is the China open supermarket boss, to the supermarket shopping Chinese many, so many goods also marked the Chinese.
Looking at such prices of agricultural products, and that's the envy, no wonder the old beauty can spend a month left hundreds of yuan money to have a meal!
