The Ministry of Agriculture has confirmed that the
local market is currently oversupplied with sacrificial sheep, with a total of
600,000 heads available.
Despite the estimated demand of around 300,000 heads of
local sheep, the local market has twice the required number.
This decision comes in response to the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's recent announcement to resume importing live sheep from Jordan.
Over the past 45 days, the
Ministry of Agriculture has
already imported 320,000 heads of live sheep, with an expected increase to
approximately 500,000 heads within the next 10 days.
Furthermore, the ministry has emphasized that the live sheep
from local breeds, intended for export, are specifically raised to meet the
needs of the Gulf markets.
These exported sheep adhere to weight and specification
requirements in line with the demands of the Gulf region.
