Hamshahri newspaper criticized the government for the rise in meat prices because they did not pay attention to the warnings.
Hamshahri wrote that the increase in meat prices was predictable considering the production and slaughter indexes.
While the market regulators and policymakers focused on slaughterhouses, if they had also focused on livestock farming and production, the mystery of the rise in red meat prices could have been predicted.
The Statistical Center had previously revealed that the number of slaughtered cows and calves in livestock farms has decreased by 22% compared to the same period last year, and on the other hand, the number of slaughtered sheep and lambs in livestock farms has decreased from 57 million in the summer of this year to 42 million in the autumn.
