It seems that Aziz Akhannouch's government has already sensed the negative repercussions of the rise in red meat prices in all Moroccan markets, and the possibility of them reaching unprecedented numbers, especially as we are at the gates of the holy month of Ramadan, which is characterized by a doubling of household consumption of foodstuffs.

In this regard, the official spokesman for the government confirmed that immediate and practical measures were taken that would restore meat prices to their previous state, as importers were granted a set of exceptional privileges, foremost of which was the abolition of the weight requirement completely, in order to facilitate the process of providing animals destined for slaughter to supply the national market with a form. Fast, as the requirement to specify the weight of cows at 550 kg at most was very difficult for importers to undertake, as they will now be able to open up to other markets known to have large weights, which will be directed directly to slaughter to cover the needs on the national market.

Paytas also revealed the government's intention to provide a set of other mechanisms that will be announced during the next few days, and which aims to encourage the import of these materials.
