Meat and dairy prices rise
The Poultry Syndicate and its related sectors in Lebanon have called for the abolition of the "environmental fee" imposed on vital materials such as soybean meal, sunflower meal, cottonseed meal, beet pulp, veterinary medicines, and feed additives, as these are essential for poultry and livestock farming and contribute to food security. They warned that continuing to impose these fees will raise production costs, leading to higher prices for eggs, poultry, meats, and dairy products. This would negatively impact the purchasing power of Lebanese consumers and threaten self-sufficiency, especially amid difficult economic conditions. The syndicates appealed to the government to immediately revoke these fees and warned that they will take escalatory measures if their demands are not met, in order to protect the domestic production sector and food security.
