Recent reports about the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in Azerbaijan have drawn widespread public attention – and appear to be affecting the meat market.
In several supermarket chains across Baku, prices for beef and lamb have noticeably declined in recent days.
At Araz supermarkets, a new discount campaign has been launched.
Current prices show a marked decrease compared with earlier levels: beef is now sold at 15.49 manats per kilogram, while lamb is priced at 13.99 manats per kilogram.
Special “Discount” tags are visible across the meat section, covering various types of products. Store representatives said the campaign was introduced in response to a drop in consumer demand observed over the past several weeks.
A similar trend has been reported in other retail chains and butcher outlets throughout the capital.
