Morocco is currently defending its agricultural subsidy policy while seeking to stabilize its domestic meat supply through imports. The government has pledged efforts to address the situation by importing cattle and frozen meat from countries including Brazil and Uruguay. High consumer prices remain a concern, with beef exceeding MAD 120 and lamb over MAD 180 in several regions. The expected new shipments of frozen meat, particularly from Brazil, are anticipated to arrive in early October.
