February 25, 2026

The culling of 13,000 animals due to foot-and-mouth disease has raised concerns about potential meat price increases ahead of Easter. Authorities believe the market is currently functioning normally, but they express worries about possible supply pressures. The President of the Consumers' Association notes that prices are not expected to change significantly, although there will be a shortage of lambs. Consumers should be cautious in their purchasing if prices do rise. The complete picture will depend on developments in the coming weeks.
