The Moroccan breeding crisis increases meat prices and threatens eid

In the space of 9 years, Morocco has lost more than a third of its national livestock, according to the Minister of Agriculture, Ahmed El Bouari. The herds melted because of water stress, when the kingdom has just entered its 7th year of drought. The pasture areas have shrunk and replace them with cattle food is expensive, putting pressure on breeders. Result: the prices of the meat explode and the sacrifice of Eid is today threatened.
