Possible price per kilo of meat
Mohamed Wahba, head of the butchers’ division, said that the rise in meat prices is due to the rise in feed prices during the last period, and on the other hand, the rise in the prices of imported meat, which is highly relied upon, pointing out that Egypt’s meat production is not sufficient for local consumption.
Wahba added that the price of meat ranges between 280 and 320 pounds, and is expected to reach 350 pounds by Eid al-Adha. If the state does not develop radical solutions and not palliatives to reduce prices, this is done by increasing the quantities of imported meat in the coming period.
