Livestock prices soar ahead of Bakrid
Livestock prices have surged ahead of the Islamic festival of Id-ul-Adha, or Bakrid, which is set to be celebrated on May 28. Many Muslims are visiting cattle markets to purchase sheep and goats for the ritual sacrifice known as 'Qurbani'. The cost of meat has increased significantly compared to last year, leading some farms to struggle with unsold stock.
- ▪The price of sacrificial livestock has increased, with meat now priced at ₹1,000-₹1,150 per kilo compared to ₹650-₹800 last year.
- ▪Farmers are focusing on buying young animals to rear for Bakrid, as they are more cost-effective.
- ▪Many butcheries are accepting bulk orders for pre-cut meat to be delivered on the festival day.
