A total of 22,053 tonnes of lamb (up 71% YOY), 3,835 tonnes of goat meat (up 37% YOY) and 982 tons of meat from other types of livestock were produced during the one-month period, accounting for 39.5%, 6.9% and 1.7% of the total output respectively, SCI reported on its website.
For the last couple of years, Iran struggled to increase meat production in order to reduce the need for imports. According to the country's Livestock Affairs Support Company, red meat production has been around 850,000 tonnes annually for the last few years, while domestic consumption stood at 900,000 tonnes. Since 2019, the country achieved self-sufficiency in poultry. In Iran, per capita, meat consumption is around 35.5 kg/year, comprising of 12.5 kg of red meat and 23 kg of poultry meat
