The prices of red meat in the Moroccan markets have witnessed a new rise despite the importation of important quantities of cows in recent months in an attempt to reduce the high prices.
As an example, sheep meat recorded a noticeable jump, with the price of a kilogram exceeding 120 dirhams in some markets, which angered consumers.
According to special data, the sale prices of red meat during the past week in the massacres of the economic capital reached about 100 dirhams per kilogram for beef, while the sale price of sheep meat reached about 115 dirhams, before exceeding the barrier of 120 dirhams at some points of sale in installments.
This rise comes despite government measures that included importing cows with the aim of enhancing supply and easing pressure on the market, but consumers believe that these measures have not yet been reflected in the final prices, in light of the continued rise in feed and transport costs.
Professionals believe that the wave of high prices is linked to several factors, including the high cost of production and the weak availability of local livestock.
