The National Union of Red Meat Importers, part of the General Union of Algerian Traders and Artisans, has welcomed the presidential directive to launch a thorough investigation into meat prices. The union stated that this measure promotes transparency and protects consumer purchasing power. Expressing full readiness to cooperate, the organization pledged to provide authorities with all necessary data regarding costs, from international sourcing to final delivery. The government investigation, initiated following allegations of monopolistic practices and the labeling of imported meat as local, aims to examine price variations across different regions. The union reiterated its commitment to maintaining a steady supply of quality meat at prices that are fair for the Algerian consumer.
