Turkey's Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Vahit Kirişci, has sent a delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina to import 1,000 kilograms of boneless meat to Turkey due to a meat shortage and rising prices. The meat prices have already increased by 19% last week and are expected to rise further. This comes as meat carcass prices have increased from 100 liras to 119 liras in a week, and there are concerns about the sustainability of animal husbandry in Turkey. The Turkish Butchers, Breeders, Meat and Meat Products Federation has criticized the Minister for his silence on the issue and has called for his resignation if he is not performing his duties.
