Qatar Is Slashing Sheep Prices Ahead Of Eid Al Adha 2023 Celebrations
For the approaching Eid Al Adha celebrations, the government has started a new campaign to lower the cost of sheep and other livestock.
The MoCI said that sheep would be valued at QAR 1,000 if they weigh 40 kg or more
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), the Ministry of Municipality, and Widam Food Company are working together to lower sheep costs.
The cost-cutting plan, which will last until July 1st, aims to stabilise markets during Eid Al Adha, provide inexpensive items, balance supply and demand, and stop irrational price increases for meat during peak demand periods.
Underweight sheep and those who don’t follow the guidelines won’t be sold.
