70% Sell Half a Calf
Haitham Abdel Baset, head of the Butchers Division at the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, said that around 70% of butcher shops in Egypt sell less than half a calf per week, due to declining purchasing power and rising operating costs. These costs include higher rents—which have increased at some shops from EGP 400 or 500 to around EGP 3,000 a month—as well as workers’ wages, electricity, water and gas bills, and the cost of sales and packaging supplies. He added that weak sales and mounting expenses had prompted some butchers to sell or rent out their shops, putting the future of the trade at risk and threatening further closures of meat outlets.
