Export market for Frozen Bone-in Lamb Cut in Chile (12월, 2022)

The article highlights the significant increase in lamb meat prices in Chile due to high production costs, with costs per sheep unit reaching $120,000 and the meat becoming at least 20% more expensive. These increased costs are attributed to high fertilizer costs for pasture and high prices of veterinary supplies, leading to low demand due to the high prices and economic challenges faced by the country. Felix Cancino, the manager of the San Juan Sheep Cooperative, emphasized the challenges farmers are facing, such as rising costs of inputs and medications, which are making it difficult for farmers to maintain optimal conditions for the sheep.
