Morocco’s Minister of Agriculture, Ahmed Bouari, addressed recent disruptions in livestock markets ahead of Eid Al-Adha. He attributed temporary imbalances between supply and demand to increased pressure in the days leading up to the holiday and logistical challenges related to animal transport. Bouari characterized these issues as isolated and limited incidents that were disproportionately amplified. The minister’s comments aim to reassure the public regarding availability for the important religious festival. He indicated the situation is under control and not widespread. This is the first official statement regarding the reported market fluctuations. The disruptions had raised concerns about potential price increases or shortages before Eid Al-Adha.
