The association says that the aim of this ban is to increase the growth of livestock at the local level and ensure the export of quality meat, that the employment related to slaughtering is related to the local market and that the minimum price of meat export for fresh meat will also be increased in the coming weeks.
This increase in the price of meat export will also benefit farmers, which will increase the overall trend towards livestock. The association further says that in this regard, meat exporters say that the export of boneless child beef of female animals should also be banned.
