Meat production increases by 7 times in 9 years.

I think the cost of raising a cow is quite high anywhere in Bangladesh. It is because pastureland is not available in the country. So, the farmers have to buy the feed from the market. Even I have seen fodder grass being sold in the market.

This is how the meat prices go up and only a selected few can regularly consume it. However, although it may look like a paradox if a time comes when only the professional farmers raise the livestock the meat prices will look cheaper than now if the production rises and the earnings of common people grow in parallel.

Recently there was strike of the meat sellers who were telling a different story. They were saying while bringing a cow to Dhaka they needs to give bribe on every spot to police and local leaders and at Gabtoli they need to give big chunk of money to local leaders to let the cow in. They claimed if the bribing and extortion is stopped price will reduce to half. You raise a good point as well, increasing efficiency and providing the farmers the feed at a reasonable price will help to reduce the price more. The meat shop owners were saying due to high prices sells has reduced. Earlier they could sell 4-5 cow in a day but they are struggling to sell 1-2 cow. Many meat shop has been closed due to this reason.

Yes I did and some are even producing meat from vegetables and giving the exact flavor of chicken, beef, mutton or pork, to make it more healthier.

Anyway what you said is shown here!!! That is interesting but we do not know about the harmful impact of it.

without bribes and extortion, the prices will certainly go down, if not by half. But, anyway, BD needs to improve the quality of the system of slaughtering. If we think of a modern country, we will need many localized slaughtering houses. This will also stop extortion.

I have seen many slaughterings and even the processing on the streets. This practice is certainly not healthy. Entire Dhaka is engulfed in blood after Eid. We should stop it and bring everything under a modernized system.

Bangladesh government has made such plan but do not know any update of the slaughterhouses!!! Even I am hearing for last couple of years cow and goat needs to be slaughtered at the designated slaughterhouses during eid but it is not implemented.

To be tagged as a developing nation BD needs to improve the quality of slaughtering by implementing the introduction of slaughterhouses. Since it is not possible to build all the slaughterhouses in a day, therefore, the system may be built one by one at the designated places. All the Wards in Dhaka may build slaughterhouses near the big markets. People will be required to send the cows/goats there.

However, considering what I see in the fish market I wonder if the callous government authority people in BD will care about keeping the houses clean all around the year.
