Essential: Boost meat production, slash unit costs
Ahead lies Eid-ul-Adha (the festival of sacrifice), with its main ritual of animal sacrifice. In Bangladesh, almost half of the total yearly animal sacrifices occur during Eid-ul-Adha. Last year, 141,812 animals were sacrificed, including 4.581 million cattle, 107,875 buffaloes, 5.352 million goats and sheep, and the rest 877 other animals (such as camels, deer, etc.). This year, around 1 crore and 30 lakh animals are prepared for sacrifice. With an assumed 10% annual increase in demand, the demand for animals might reach 1 crore and 10 lakh this time, with an expected surplus of around 20 lakh animals. Due to the recent pandemic and economic instability, the demand for sacrificial animals has been relatively low for the past three years, resulting in unsold animals. However, there might be a slight increase in demand this time. Nevertheless, due to recent price fluctuations and increased production costs, the price of animals may rise. If animal sales decrease, farmers will suffer losses. In such circumstances, it is advisable to completely stop importing both formal and informal sacrificial animals.
