Morocco: Eid lamb will be more expensive
As the feast of sacrifice approaches, livestock prices are raising concerns in Morocco. The evolution of tariffs results from a complex balance between the surge in diesel prices and the improvement in recent weather conditions.
With a liter of diesel reaching nearly 15.50 dirhams, the cost of transport and distribution is exerting strong pressure on the livestock market. This inflation complicates daily life for Moroccans, who are highly sensitive to prices as Eid al-Adha approaches due to strong demand for meat. Questioned by Goud, Amine Sami, an international expert in economics and strategic planning, clarifies that current pricing results from a balance of power between two major factors.

On one hand, fuel prices directly impact logistics costs and animal feed. On the other, recent rainfall that fell on the country has revived agricultural activity and improved the condition of the national livestock. According to the expert, this interaction creates a "situation close to relative stability", while creating regional disparities linked to transport costs, the availability of livestock farms, and the distance between production and consumption areas.

This market reflects a broader economic and social dynamic. While energy costs impact the entire value chain, agriculture continues to mitigate inflation and support purchasing power in both urban and rural areas. The economist concludes that this market is heading toward an equilibrium dictated by production and demand, emphasizing the importance of "improving distribution chains and increasing production" to guarantee greater stability in the future.
