The article reports a significant increase in the average prices of sacrificial animals, such as beef calves, beef females, buffaloes, and lamb, by 20-30% this year. This surge in prices is attributed to a notable increase in fodder prices since March, caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war and global price hikes. The prices of sacrificial meat can vary across governorates and regions due to transportation costs and traders' profits. Additionally, the article mentions that the Ministry of Awqaf has announced that the sales of sacrifice bonds have reached 40 million pounds, with over 18,000 instruments sold so far.
