Bangladesh’s Fisheries and Livestock Ministry has dismissed reports claiming that Brazil would supply beef to Bangladesh at Tk 120 per kilogram. The ministry clarified that the government has made no decision to import beef from abroad, including Brazil. Officials highlighted that livestock farming in Bangladesh is not only vital for meat production but also for women’s empowerment, self-employment, poverty reduction, and economic growth. More than 1.5 million small farmers and 600,000 seasonal farmers rely on cattle rearing during Eid-ul-Azha. The ministry also warned of potential health and preservation risks associated with importing foreign meat.
