Monthly average prices for imported cow meat in Egypt 2019-2023
As of May 2023, the monthly average price for frozen imported cow meat in Egypt stood at 201.45 Egyptian pounds (6.51 U.S. dollars) per kilogram. This illustrated an increase of 13.28 percent compared to the previous month. After September 2019, the main drop in average price was a result of government intervention by increasing supply through Brazilian and Sudanese meat imports. For most of the Egyptian population, imported frozen meat is seen as an inferior product in comparison to locally bred meat. The price kept fluctuating until February 2022, then it started to increase at a steady pace afterwards.
