Iranian meat production to overpass 3.5 million tonnes
Iran is expecting 3.5 million tonnes of production in meat by the end of March 2021. The statement was made by Morteza Rezaei, the deputy minister of Agriculture, who also predicts an increase in egg production. "Considering the measures taken, the egg production will reach 1,650,000 tonnes," he said. The deputy minister noted that based on the official statistics in recent years the production of red meat and chicken meat has increased by 2.5%, and 6.5% respectively. Back on August 15, the Statistical Center of Iran (SCI) announced that production of red meat in Iran stood at 36,200 tonnes in the fourth month of the current Iranian calendar year (June 21-July 21), showing 19% growth compared to the same month in the past year. The SCI’s report said that beef and veal had the lion’s share in the country’s red meat output during the fourth month with 20,400 tonnes, followed by lamb and mutton with 12,400 tonnes, and red meat from other livestock with 709 tonnes. Iran is among the leading consumers of red meat in the West Asia region with lamb being the most sought after.
