Agriculture Ministry Details 2026 Pet Cattle Imports
The Ministry of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, and Food Sovereignty confirmed that the increase in red meat prices in Morocco in recent years is due to a decrease in the number of livestock resulting from drought and rising feed prices. This has led to the slaughter of some females and a reduction in supply. To address this crisis, the government launched a policy in 2026 to eliminate customs duties and taxes on the import of 300,000 cattle heads by the end of 2026, while opening the door for suppliers to import without prior licensing and processing requests within less than 24 hours. The monthly import rate reached approximately 24,000 heads, with a surge in demand in October following the opening of the Portuguese markets, which contributed to increasing the availability of red meat and stabilizing prices in the domestic market.
