Recently, many claims have been made about artificial meat production. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry responded to these claims.

The ministry stated that the closure of animal markets is a routine measure to prevent the spread of infectious animal diseases. This practice is implemented not only in Turkey but also in many countries.

The ministry emphasized that artificial meat production is not licensed or supported. They also announced that there is no regulatory framework or incentives in this area.

Stating that their goal is to support domestic production and ensure public access to healthy food, the ministry expressed that there are no policies that would harm the livestock sector.
