Morocco suspends tariffs on sheep and beef

The measure will remain in effect until December 31 and aims to increase the domestic supply of red meat. It covers live sheep as well as beef, lamb, goat, and camel meat. The post Morocco suspends tariffs on sheep and beef appeared first on ANBA News Agency .

Morocco has temporarily halted tariffs on live sheep and beef imports until the end of this year, according to Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa). The decision, announced on July 27, applies to imports from any country and aims to boost the supply of red meat in Morocco, following a 30% decline in its cattle herd last year.

The drought and increasing feed costs are cited as reasons for the livestock drop. Currently, Brazil and Morocco engage in trade where Moroccan live cattle for slaughter are under a similar tariff suspension regime, with a 2026 annual quota of 300,000 head.
