Heba Press – Casablanca
Casablanca markets have seen a notable drop in red meat prices in recent days, with the first shipments of imported meat beginning to arrive in the Moroccan market.
According to informed sources, imported meat is sold at competitive prices, ranging between 80 dirhams per kilo of beef and 85 dirhams per kilo of lamb.
On the other hand, local meat prices remain high in certain upscale neighborhoods, exceeding 100 dirhams per kilo of beef and 120 dirhams per kilo of lamb.
This decrease should help ease pressure on local markets, especially if imported shipments continue to arrive and supply increases.
It should be noted that the Kingdom received at the beginning of this month three trucks loaded with around 100 tonnes of fresh meat, imported from Spain via the port of Tangier Med. These quantities were directed to the Casablanca-Settat region and the city of Fez as part of a government plan to provide meat at reasonable prices, thus reducing the rise in local prices.
