The Association of Kano
Butchers Multi purpose Cooperative Society decried low patronage by customers
in the Christmas season due to financial challenges.
The Public Relations
Officer of the Association, Alhaji Jinjiri Ali, disclosed this in an interview
in Kano on Monday.
According to him, this
year’s festive season is not like the previous year when “we slaughtered
between 200 to 250 cows daily, but this year we slaughtered between 100 to 150
cows daily”.
Ali said the price of a
big cow now cost N130,000 to N200,000 as against N80,000 to N100,000 earlier.
“The high cost of
transportation occasioned by the ongoing fuel scarcity across the country leads
to the high cost of cow.”
Ado Haruna, a meat
seller at Abbatoir market, expressed dissatisfaction with the level of sales
this season, adding that he hardly sold all the meat this season, unlike last
year’s Christmas.
“Last Christmas I sold
all the meat and customers still came for more supply”
Haruna added that people
preferred to purchase chicken this season than cow meat,” he lamented.
“I hope next year’s
Christmas will be easier for people than this year,” he said.
