Facing severe drought conditions that have decimated local livestock, Algeria is preparing to import 1 million sheep in anticipation of the upcoming Eid Al-Adha celebrations. Government officials revealed that the move is aimed at mitigating the impact of prolonged water shortages on domestic animal husbandry and ensuring that millions of Algerians can partake in the traditional sacrificial festivities.
The importation plan comes as local farmers struggle with dwindling herds and reduced meat production, a situation exacerbated by climate change and erratic rainfall patterns. Authorities are coordinating with international suppliers to secure the required livestock while implementing strict health and safety checks to prevent the spread of animal diseases.
This initiative not only aims to stabilize the local market during a critical cultural period but also underscores Algeria’s broader efforts to address food security challenges amid escalating climate risks.
