Meat prices have fallen shortly after the release of meat reserves by the government. The Ulaanbaatar budget allocated MNT 6.8 million to reserve meat preparation.

Residents of the capital say reserved meat sales help drive down the prices of meat products. About 12,000 tons of meat from 22 companies is sold at supermarkets. A kilo of beef costs MNT 3,700; 3,200 for mutton; and 2,600 for goat meat. The prices are twice as cheap as meat prices from last week.

The price fall comes just as hikes in fuel prices threaten to push up the prices of consumer goods across the board.
