Afshin Sadrdares, CEO of the Light Livestock Union, stated that there will be no shortage of red meat in terms of production and supply until the end of the year, and announced the reasonable price of each kilogram of male lamb carcass in the slaughterhouse as 1 million and 600 thousand tomans.
Red Meat Production and Supply Status
Sadrdares pointed to the country's livestock population and autumn births, emphasizing that the activities of fattening units will greatly help meet market needs. He also reminded that the increase in exchange rates has led to a rise in production costs, and the government must take necessary measures to maintain the purchasing power of households. These measures can help people secure their essential needs.
Problems in the Red Meat Market and Suggested Solutions
The CEO of the Light Livestock Union further referred to the existing problems in regulating the red meat market and said: "Part of these problems is due to insufficient supervision over the distribution network and the decrease in household purchasing power." He believes that with appropriate measures for market management, there will be no need for red meat imports.
Sadrdares also reported a decrease in red meat imports compared to the same period last year and added: "Diversity in supply has made prices more competitive." This diversity in supply can help improve the market situation and reduce pressure on households.
Finally, the CEO of the Light Livestock Union emphasized that given the country's livestock population and autumn births, there is no shortage of red meat supply, and this can help stabilize prices in the market.
