Guatemala and El Salvador continue to offer better prices to Nicaraguan producers than those offered by local slaughterhouses.
Livestock farmers and industrialists have yet to reach an agreement on the purchase prices of cattle for slaughter, which has meant that producers prefer to export live cattle to other countries where better prices are offered, in particular, Guatemala and El Salvador.
They have not managed to reach an agreement with local slaughterhouses on the upward adjustment of sales prices of livestock.
They have asked the Nicaraguan government for approval to sell three thousand head of cattle to slaughterhouses in the region where better prices are paid.
This was announced by representatives from the Federation of Livestock Associations of Nicaragua (Faganic).
