Meat Market Changes

The domestic pig breeding is supported with high amounts for the fifth year and now the government is eager to favor the consumers.

As a part of the domestic pig breeding program, the government plans to reduce the Value Added Tax (VAT) on pig carcase meat to 22 percent. While previously the three million pig population was the goal, now the goal is to increase the livestock numbers to 7 million, increasing not only the exports but the domestic consumption as well.
