UP strike hits Delhi hard, meat supply down by half, prices soar

Meat traders’ strike in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh has halved Delhi’s supply and  sent the prices soaring, with mutton selling for Rs 500 a kilo in some areas on Monday.

Traders at Ghazipur, Delhi’s only slaughter house and biggest wholesale meat market, said they were not getting cattle from Uttar Pradesh, the biggest suppliers of animals, which had led to buffalo and goat meat costing at least 25% more.

“Around 6,000 goats and 900 buffaloes were sold every day but in the last three days, not more than 2,500 goats and 400 buffaloes have been sold,” a trader said at Ghazipur, which borders Uttar Pradesh. He didn’t wish to be named, fearing a backlash from vigilante groups....

Prices of pulses and vegetables could rise if the situation in UP was not resolved by the end of Navratras, said Qureshi, who is also the country’s leading meat exporters.

According to an estimate, Delhi consumes around 40,000kg of buffalo meat and 80,000kg of mutton a day....

“We do not have any problem with illegal slaughter houses being shut down but what we are doing is per rules but our business too is suffering,” said another Ghazipur trader on condition of anonymity.
