What happened to Jumla meat
The Egyptian meat market has witnessed a rise in prices and a decline in sales activity of up to 60%, due to increased production costs and escalating inflation. This has led to decreased purchasing power and reduced consumer demand, especially with the start of the school year and families allocating part of their budgets to other needs. According to the head of butchers' union, the price of a kilogram of whole meat has reached between 350 and 400 Egyptian pounds, making it one of the cheaper options, primarily because of reliance on importing camels from Sudan and Somalia. In contrast, prices for local and sheep meat range between 450 and 500 pounds per kilogram. The local meat production in Egypt accounts for about 40%, while the country depends on imports for the remaining 60%. The union has called for supporting farmers, facilitating loans, and providing the necessary production supplies.
