Meat price in Addis Ababa set at 1,200 Birr per kilo

The Addis Ababa Cooperative Commission has set a new price for meat, fixing it at 1,200 Birr per kilo at cooperative butcher shops. This decision follows a study and discussions with 274 butcher shop owners, initiated after public complaints regarding previous pricing. The commission warned that measures will be taken against any shops found selling above the newly set rate. Additionally, the commission is facilitating direct linkages between butcher shops and livestock suppliers to stabilize supply, reporting that approximately 7,000 such linkages have been established to date.
