Rwanda is experiencing high beef prices due to a Rift Valley Fever outbreak, prompting nutritionists to recommend alternative protein sources such as chicken, fish, soy products, and plant-based foods to ensure nutritional needs are met affordably.

You face rising beef prices that shift consumer demand to cheaper proteins like chicken and soy. Adapt your product or service offering now to capture customers forced to switch away from beef.
