Prices of red meat in the local market continue to rise, as a large number of butchers and traders who sell the meat in installments continue to pay the same high prices, despite the notable drop in prices at major slaughterhouses and in wholesale markets.
Along with falling prices in large slaughterhouses, the price of meat imported from Brazil fell to around 70 dirhams per kilogram, and that of meat from Spain and Europe to around 80 dirhams.
On the other hand, a number of butchers continued to charge high prices in their stores. As for local meat prices, they do not exceed 87 dirhams per kilo at the highest price.
The efforts of importers contributed to the fall in prices on wholesale markets, which led to a drop in the prices of calves on the local market by around 3 thousand dirhams per head.
Prices remain significantly different depending on the cities and neighborhoods, with prices in Casablanca oscillating between 85 and 110 dirhams per kilogram, while in Tangier, prices reach around 130 dirhams per kilogram.
As for the importation of meat from Spain, the process was affected by the coincidence with the “Bonani” New Year celebrations in European countries, which caused a delay in some shipments.
Red meat imports are expected to see a notable increase in the coming weeks after the 2025 New Year celebrations end.
