Ahmed Al -Bouari, Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests, revealed that the number of the national herd had decreased.
In his speech, the Minister declared at the press conference which followed the work of the government council held on Thursday, that the country suffers for the seventh year of drought, which indicates that animal production is heading to eat instead pastures.
The minister added that the herd had recorded a decrease of 38% compared to the 2016 national census, stressing that this decline affected the production of red meat, which prompted the government to resort to import.
