Prospects for a reduction in price veal meat They see competent officials at the Ministry of Development commenting on newsit.gr the ejection they have noted lately.
According to the same sources, the prices of veal in Greece between July 2024 – July 2025 have increased by 14%, while in the Netherlands the increase is twice as high (31%)!
The reason is that environmental rules for production of veal across the EU have been tightened, and investment in relevant biofuel production units has increased.
These rules have been imposed by Brussels because the cattle “produce” a huge amount of methane from which large masses of greenhouse gases are emitted.
Estimates of the same sources of newsit.gr report that the price front will be normalized in the veal in terms of production (as farming units, etc. will gradually integrate the new requirements of environmental rules, etc.), as well as the new requirements of their environmental rules, etc.). Beef, increasingly turning to significantly cheaper white meat (chicken, pork), and slowly in the coming months, demand will be reduced (due to the reduction of tourists).
The same executives report to newsit.gr that in addition to international meat prices (as 80% of the veal is imported into Greece), which are those that reflect national prices in each product, there are national factors, with the most important of them -which may raise the prices above the meat prices above that of “meat” prices above. And not to the producers and the retailers (eg supermarkets).
Consequently, any “subtle” interventions exist in the fixed (in the sense that pre -existing current increase in meat prices) This problem of supply chain will most likely relate to wholesale.
