The government has taken action to reduce red meat prices.

Red meat prices have suddenly increased by 60 lira in some regions over the past week, while the Meat and Milk Institution stated that there is no stock problem. The ESK indicated that the news about rising meat prices does not reflect the truth and announced that there is no issue regarding stocks.

The statement from the Meat and Milk Institution is as follows: "This statement has become necessary following news in some media outlets stating 'Red alert in meat, prices have suddenly skyrocketed.' Our institution is taking necessary measures to ensure supply security in red meat and price stability."

"THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH STOCKS"

"As part of our regulatory efforts aimed at regulating and balancing the meat and milk markets, we continue to supply meat to the market. Our current stocks of red meat and live animals are at a level to meet market needs, and there is no situation that would cause exorbitant price increases in red meat."

"DO NOT BELIEVE IT"

"We respectfully announce to the public that speculative claims regarding further increases in meat prices should not be believed."

PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN'S INSTRUCTION ON RED MEAT

While discussions on the subject continue, a critical statement regarding red meat prices came from President Erdoğan. Erdoğan announced that "We plan to take another step," indicating that there will be imports of large cattle.

Erdoğan stated, "We evaluated this with our Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, İbrahim Yumaklı. I instructed that we should quickly import large cattle from Uruguay and Brazil so that citizens can access red meat at the prices they expect. We will evaluate this and take these steps."
