Côte d’Ivoire: is a sheep crisis imminent before Tabaski?
Concerns are mounting across Côte d’Ivoire following Burkina Faso’s recent decision to indefinitely halt its livestock exports. With the upcoming Tabaski celebration, Côte d’Ivoire’s demand for sacrificial sheep is projected at 350,000 head, with a staggering 75% typically sourced from neighboring countries. The crucial question now is whether the nation faces a significant sheep shortage. As the festive period approaches in just ten days, how is the Ivorian government strategizing to avert a potential crisis? Furthermore, should consumers brace for an inevitable surge in livestock prices?
