Greasy Thursday: The 'World Cup' for Butchers - Price Ranges (VIDEO)

Greasy Thursday is a significant day for butchers, comparable to the World Cup for football fans. The President of the Pan-Cypriot Butchers Association, Kostas Livadiotis, stated that Cypriots consume an average of 100 kilograms of meat annually, with a downward trend due to prices and dietary habits, while the global average is 40 kilograms. The prices of chicken and pork remain stable, while lamb has been expensive for a year and beef has doubled in price worldwide. Butchers are trying to address the global price increase, which is due to increased demand and reduced supply.
