In Istanbul, over 1,300 local markets have set standard meat prices for Ramadan in an effort to prevent speculative price hikes. This initiative is part of a broader campaign by the meat and milk institution and agricultural credit markets to ensure affordable meat prices during the holiday. The campaign fixes the price of minced meat at 190 TL and beef cubes at 210 TL per kilogram. The move is expected to be followed by chain markets, offering a glimmer of financial relief for Istanbulites during Ramadan.
