Young Journalists Club wrote: Seyed Ahmed Moghdisi, head of the Cattlemen’s Trade Union, stated: Currently, we do not have any problems in the production of milk and red meat, and there is no reason to worry.
Moghdisi announced the population of heavy livestock at 7 million and added: despite the significant decrease in meat imports compared to the previous year, we did not have a problem with the supply.
The head of the Cattlemen’s Trade Association attributed the difference in the price of red meat from the farm to the market as a result of the existence of middlemen and brokers and said: the current price of each kilo of male calf is 640 to 650 thousand tomans, which is why the reasonable price of each kilo of meat is 2 million tomans and mixed meat is 1 million 800 to 1 million 900 thousand.
He considered the provision of liquidity and direct supply of meat in the market and the connection of production chains as the solution to regulate the red meat market.
Stating that there is no problem in the production of raw milk, Moghdisi said: Estimates indicate that by the end of the year, the production of raw milk will increase by 600,000 tons compared to the previous year and reach over 13 million tons.
