Lambs to slaughter
Stockbreeders in northern Greece called off their blockade of slaughterhouses on Saturday night but are due to meet today to decide whether to take further action in their dispute with merchants over the price of lamb. Merchants have refused to offer more than 6 euros per kilo despite farmers' demands for 8 euros per kilo for the animals' meat. Stockbreeders had blocked access to slaughterhouses in Thessaloniki, Halkidiki, Drama, Eleftheroupolis and Kavala in an effort to force merchants to negotiate as the demand for lamb increases over the Easter period.
