Algeria: President Tebboune Orders the Import of One Million Sheep

Algeria had already imported, in March 2025, one million head of livestock in anticipation of Eid al-Adha. At the time, cooperation was established with specialized public associations and cooperatives across the wilayas to sell sheep intended for sacrifice, in coordination with the bodies and institutions authorized to handle distribution and marketing.

Moreover, Algeria experienced a wave of drought in 2025 that hit wilayas known for sheep farming, driving up red meat prices, with the kilogram estimated at $20.
