Facing one persistent headache are the consumers in front of him Easteras the deficiencies and accuracy they drive prices for lambs and goats on high.
This year prices for lamb goats are as follows:
– Fresh bulk milk lamb rib (Greek): €18.05
– Whole milk goat (Greek): €10.98
-Milk leg of lamb (Greek): €12.95
– Milk goat leg (Greek): €13.50
– Agrinio milk lamb: €15
-10 kg of meat: From €109.80-€180.50
The Live News investigation, however, also looked for the cheapest of the cheap, and found them mainly in hypermarkets, i.e. supermarkets where the prices are between 9 and 10 euros, as the large quantities allow a big drop in prices. Here, too, the table will be filled at great cost:
-Greek lamb (hand – ribs): €9.90
-10 kg: €99
-Greek goat (thigh): €10.90
-10 kg: €109
If the prices are compared with last year, the shock is unimaginable and the pain in the pocket unprecedented for Easter 2024.
The accuracy is high
That is, this year the cheapest goat is 4.5 euros more expensive, while upwards there is no ceiling, since lamb and goat can get an increase of 40 euros. Want to see the worst? Filling in the pieces of the puzzle, older video to be exact from 2021 this shot. Local fresh milk goat lambs only 6.99, in another shop at 5.99€, in 2024 in Varvakeio 10.99.
-2021: €59.90–€69.90 / 10 kg
-2024: €109.90 / 10 kg
-Increase: From €40-€50
Lambs will be less and more expensive this year. Shortages in the Greek market this Easter, due to increased exports, over 20%, to Italy, Spain, Germany and Portugal.
In an unsuspecting time, accuracy was seen coming to the consumer’s pocket, and how else can it be done when the wholesale price is 9 euros.
The lamb will be sold by the breeders for more than 9 euros per kilo, otherwise they will not… come out, as the breeders from Kastoria pointed out, write “Ta Nea”.
With these in mind, consumers are both scared and skeptical, the anxiety that the lamb or goat entered the country with a passport and they sell it to them for Greek is great and justified.
However, some good news about the course of prices comes even at the last minute. But on the other hand, will the middlemen keep the prices or will they go for super profits? Breeders will sell their lamb goats for between 7 and 7.5 euros. A large number will be missing from the Greek market.
But look at this from the other side, it’s the other side. “Flying” up to 12 euros for lamb in Lesvos. The price of lamb on the wholesale market reaches 10.8 euros.
Athens prices in Kalamata
In Kalamata butchers, the price of lamb ranges from 13 to 14 euros per kilo. Another issue that has arisen due to the fact that Easter falls late, is that the animals are a little heavier, reaching 16 kilos, since the weather has allowed them to grow. At the same time, people mainly want lambs and goats between 10-12 kg.
Added to the explosive cocktail of supply demand and various problems are zoonotic diseases, with livestock farmers complaining:
The livestock farmers of the Municipality of Lokron in Fthiotida remain without any substantial support, who are faced with the unbearable economic consequences of the smallpox disease that struck herds in the area.
However, the consumer may be concerned that the veterinarians who inspect the carcasses are heading for a strike that will obviously affect the market, as despite the declaration of the strike as illegal, the geotechnicians say they are determined to continue their fight to assert their just demands their.
“We sell for 8 euros, but in Athens they buy for 18 euros. The lamb needs to be tagged,” a farmer told Live News.
