Foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Libya causes 70% livestock loss, milk production drop, and price hike.
A foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in Libya has severely impacted cattle farmers, particularly in Misrata, where milk production has plummeted from 70,000 liters to 20,000 daily. Many farmers have lost up to 70% of their livestock due to the disease and delayed vaccine delivery. This situation has led to rising prices for meat and dairy, causing financial strain on consumers. Authorities have initiated emergency vaccination plans, but farmers argue the response has been too late.
