Tridge summary

The article highlights the significant rise in food prices in the market, with cheese prices surpassing red meat due to a decrease in milk production of 4.4% and 15% as reported by TUIK and the industry respectively. This reduction in milk production is attributed to the low price of milk reaching a point where farmers were forced to slaughter more animals, resulting in less milk production. The National Dairy Council's decision to keep milk prices low has led to the closure of farms and withdrawal of farmers from production, further exacerbating the milk supply shortage. As a result, prices are expected to keep rising, with concerns extending to meat prices, which are also expected to increase by 30% to 40%.
