President Shahid's visit to African countries led to agreements for meat and livestock imports, with shipments arriving in Iran and being offered at reasonable prices in the market. This follows an increase in imported hot meat from various countries as a way to meet protein needs and stabilize the market, after domestically produced meat prices rose due to production costs and livestock slaughter. Currently, hot meat is imported from seven to eight countries, including Kenya, South Africa, and Eastern Europe, helping to balance the market and make protein products more affordable for the public.
