Côte d’Ivoire: looming sheep supply concerns as Tabaski approaches

Côte d’Ivoire: potential sheep crisis ahead of Tabaski?

A recent decision by Burkina Faso to halt its livestock exports indefinitely has sparked considerable apprehension across Côte d’Ivoire. With the upcoming Tabaski festivities, the country anticipates a demand for approximately 350,000 heads of livestock. A significant 75% of this requirement typically relies on imports, primarily from neighboring nations. As the celebration approaches in just ten days, concerns are mounting: will Côte d’Ivoire face a critical shortage of sheep? What strategies are authorities implementing to avert a potential crisis? Furthermore, should consumers brace for a surge in livestock prices?
