As inflation and livelihoods are not enough, the citizen who is suffering from hardship due to day-to-day poverty in his pocket can not extinguish the "kitchen fire". While red meat prices have not been lowered for years, meat imports have not remedied.

It was even announced that meat imports from the wing of the government were made "so that prices do not stabilize, but stabilize," after prices have not fallen. The only remedy for unimaginable prices is "imported cheap meat", which is sold at several chain stores.
