Meat and poultry prices have fallen recently, according to a number of reports from chambers of commerce in various Egyptian governorates.

Prices of certain other essential commodities, meanwhile--such as fish, vegetables, sugar, rice, flour, oil, legumes and eggs--have stabilized, according to reports.

The price of locally-produced meat has decreased by LE5 per kilo, currently ranging between LE52 and LE55 per kilo, with prices as low as LE35 per kilo in some governorates.

Per-kilo poultry prices have also fallen from a previous LE15 to between LE11.5 and LE12. Per-kilo prices for imported frozen meat, meanwhile, now range between LE27 and LE30, depending on type and quality.
