Egypt plans to import 15-25k sheep/goats monthly from Somalia & Djibouti to counter rising meat prices ahead of Ramadan.

Egypt plans to import 15,000-25,000 live sheep and goats monthly from Somalia and Djibouti to counter rising meat prices, particularly ahead of Ramadan. The African Livestock Importers Association estimates that the imports will help balance market prices and bridge the gap between local production and consumption, while also supporting the provision of meat at reasonable prices. The agriculture and supply ministries are facilitating import procedures to ensure a swift supply to the market, with the goal of stabilizing mutton and red meat prices for consumers.
