Extermination of 500 tons of eggs imported from Turkey last week
“Hamid Kashani”, one of the egg producers in Isfahan province, criticizing the government’s performance in not supporting the domestic producer, says: “Despite many difficulties, despite the destruction of some laying hen farms, we tried to reach the market needs and now Eggs are supplied as much as the country needs domestically.
He adds: “It is very ugly for us that we used to be an exporter of eggs and a competitor to Turkey, but these days we have to import eggs from Turkey.” More interestingly, they subsidize foreign exchange to import domestically produced goods from another country, and then, for whatever reason, which may be mismanagement, 500 tons of Turkish eggs were destroyed last week due to decay in one of Shahriar’s cold stores; That is, about a million dollars of the country’s currency was wasted, and could not this money really be used to support domestic producers as subsidies for inputs such as soybean meal and corn?
