Alexandru Jurconi, head of the National Pro Agro Federation, said Tuesday that meat prices are unlikely to soar in the upcoming period, that is to go up by more than 5%.
Jurconi also said all the other inputs for the meat processing industry are on upward trend, due to higher grain prices.
According to Jurconi, when prices go up by a certain percentage, the demand decreases proportionally.
Jurconi has called for lower sales tax on basic agri-food products and for effective checkups by the National Sanitary-Veterinary Authority.
