Turkey: Livestock and Products Annual
Livestock numbers and red meat prices have been a critical issue for the current administration of the Turkish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MinFAL) as they try to address the public’s concern for high red meat prices and their impact on food inflation, which has been exacerbated by the devaluation of the Turkish Lira against the Dollar and Euro. High feed prices continued to drive the costs of beef up. New import policies favor government-affiliated importers over the private sector.
