# Will Meat Prices Rise in the Coming Period? Butchers’ Division Responds

> A representative of Cairo’s Chamber of Commerce butchers’ division said meat prices are among the goods likely to rise after the recent increase in the dollar exchange rate. He cited Egypt’s reliance on imported corn and soybeans for animal feed and called for removing customs duties on feed and raw materials to limit potential increases.

## Why it matters

A weaker Egyptian pound raises the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients, potentially increasing livestock production costs and supporting higher meat prices. Removing import duties could partly offset that pressure.
