The Spanish agricultural Minister, Luis Planas, has expressed satisfaction over Morocco's decision to permit the import of fresh sheep and goat meat from Spain. This development is seen as a sign of the maturity of the Spanish meat market and Morocco's main destination for sheep and cattle exports, especially given the positive trajectory of live animal exports. The decision was announced during a meeting between Planas and his Moroccan counterpart, Ahmed El Bouari, in Rabat. The ministers also highlighted the strong bilateral relations between Spain and Morocco.
