Spanish farmers seek urgent aid over cattle export collapse
The Spanish Farmers' Union has sounded the alarm after the halt of cattle exports to Morocco, which was considered Spain's main market in this sector. Morocco's decision to suspend imports of live cattle due to reported cases of contagious hoof-and-mouth disease in northeastern Spain has caused disruptions in the Spanish market, with exports dropping from around 62,000 head in 2024 to zero by 2026. This suspension threatens the stability of the beef production sector, which accounts for approximately 15% of the overall value of Spain's livestock industry. The union has called on the Spanish government to take urgent diplomatic measures to reopen the Moroccan market and protect the meat sector.
