Lebanese Forces on Food Price Increase
An environmental fee imposed on soybean meal, sunflower meal, beet pulp, veterinary medicines, and feed additives threatens to increase production costs in the poultry, cattle, and fish sectors, negatively impacting Lebanon's food security. The relevant unions are calling for the immediate abolition of this fee due to its importance in supporting animal production and maintaining affordable prices for consumers. They warn that continued imposition of this fee could lead to higher inflation and increased prices for meat, dairy, and eggs, and it jeopardizes the livelihoods of approximately 50,000 families working in the sector. This escalating cycle is a response to unmet demand, and its approval poses a significant risk to national production and food security in Lebanon.
