"Our institution is taking the necessary measures to ensure supply security and price stability in red meat. As part of our regulatory efforts to regulate and balance the meat and milk markets, our meat supply to the market continues uninterrupted.

In order to prevent exorbitant price increases, our institution will slaughter 15,000 large cattle until January 15, 2025, along with the live slaughter animals available in TİGEM enterprises, and the fresh carcass meats obtained from these slaughtered animals will be delivered to PERDER member markets, butchers, and meat industrialists at reasonable prices. There is no issue regarding the supply of products to the market."
