    Increase in price of meat is inevitable, it is only restricted by declined consumption

    The decline in meat consumption in Serbia has stopped the increase in prices, but the increase in the price of this food is inevitable because the stock of farm animals is decreasing rapidly, and the import will decrease by about 50% after the rise in the price of meat in Europe, cattle breeders warned today.

    President of the Assembly of Agribusiness Producers of Serbia (SPAS), Zoran Milicevic, has said that the demand for livestock has almost completely stopped, and that the prices of livestock fodder have exploded and that the production of pigs causes losses of RSD 60-70 per kilogram.

    Cattle are sold below the price

    Pigs are sold at a price of RSD 165 to 170 per kilogram of weight, and a minimum per kilogram of weight should cost RSD 240 considering current fodder prices, in order for producers to remain in business.

    Fattening plants and stables are rapidly being emptied, after a sharp increase in livestock fodder because production is completely unprofitable and livestock farmers reduce losses by shutting down production,“ Milicevic said, as reported by Beta.

    He pointed out that livestock farmers from central and other parts of Serbia, where cereals are grown less, are looking for salvation in the exchange of meat for corn from commodity reserves these days, because its price is RSD 42 to 45 per kilogram at traders’.

    Cattle fodder is expensive

    As he said, the producers are facing a big problem, because cattle fodder is too expensive, and even if they wanted to buy it, they do not have the money because they cannot sell cattle ready to be slaughtered.

    He said that the pig fund in Serbia had been halved compared to about twenty years ago, when it contained about five million pigs, which was the number consumed by the domestic market.
