Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, production of raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Morocco remained stable at around 44 000 t per year, with market volume following a similar pattern. This stability was supported by substantial public investment of 7.65 billion dirhams in the red meat sector, a national herd of 30.7 million head, and genetic improvement programs that boosted cattle productivity by 36% and sheep by 23% between 2008 and 2019.

Production fell by 10.6% to 39 480 t in 2022, reducing market volume to 39 418 t. In 2023, despite a persistent structural drought that raised feeding and fattening costs for livestock, production saw a modest recovery to 40 224 t. Government measures such as suspended import duties and VAT on cattle and sheep, a ban on slaughtering breeding females, imports of sheep to meet demand, and the opening of the first livestock market in Sidi Bennour to regulate sales and enhance regional breeding potential helped mitigate the drought's impact.
