meat prices

[stuart]

on the national news tonight said that the price of meat was going to drop. the reasoning is along the lines of import bans being lifted and due to that meats that had been stockpiled for a greater profit were being released on to the market.
sounds like a mixture of greed and polatics to me.

i dont suppose the price efes will drop ]

Why. Does it contain meat? lol

I'm surprised it's taken this long. If the same thing happened in the UK - meat prices increasing so much that it was considered a luxury because all national production was being shipped abroad - there would literally be riots.

It is true that there are will be a temporary lifting of the ban on meat imports but as yet it is uncertain if this will have any impact on the price of meat!

Our esteemed Prime minister Tayyip Erdogan about 2 days ago announced that there would be 1TL reduction on the kilo price of all meat but I am not sure at whaat end of the market this was to take 'immediate effect'

Do you really think so? If it was France for sure! But the last time British people got off their butts was over the Poll Tax

Well I think so. If none of us could afford meat because it was all being sold abroad and Gordon Brown had banned meat imports I think the need for a pork chop might just get people off their butts. It is incredible to see a country in such a situation - giving all it's meat to other countries and leaving themselves with so little that the price rockets out of reach. The government is supposed to act in the interests of the people!

I don't think Erdogan will worry about pork chop protests.

[Scunner]

Maybe not, and nearly all the bacon and sausages sold in "English Breakfasts" along the Turkish coast are brought in by us - the British. All restaurants have their friends who bring supplies over when they visit. Exports of meat to Russia have no effect on these prices.

So, it could be that pork becomes the cheapest meat in Turkey []

I think someone said that pork now is the cheapest meat in Turkey in the other topic on meat prices. Ironic huh!
