Haitham Abdel Basset, a member of the Butchers Division at the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, said that local meat production represents 40% of consumption.
Abdel Basset added, during his meeting with the media figure Faten Abdel Maboud, on the “Sabah El Balad” program, that the state intervened to fill the 60% deficit by importing calves from Brazil, Spain, or Sudan, in addition to importing frozen meat from Brazil or India.
Haitham Abdel Basset explained that the Nile Company for Al-Ahram offered Sudanese and Djiboutian meat in consumer complexes before the beginning of Ramadan at a price of 250 pounds per kilo.
A member of the Butchers Division continued: The prices of local meat in private outlets start at 400 pounds and reach 450 pounds, and these prices vary from one region to another.
He explained: There is a decline in the purchasing power of meat by 70% during the current period due to the rise in meat prices, and a set of restrictions must be put in place to control meat prices within the market.
