The cancellation of this year’s Eid al-Adha celebrations, while posing short-term challenges for seasonal businesses, is expected to strengthen the national economy and promote sustainable livestock management, according to economic experts.
The decision comes amid rising living costs and financial strain on Moroccan households. Economist Mohammed Jedri noted that Morocco’s livestock herd has shrunk by more than 38%, lacking sufficient time to recover.
“Years of drought and continued Eid sacrifices have prevented the livestock population from returning to pre-pandemic levels,” Jedri told Hespress English. Suspending the Eid sacrifice, he explained, will ease financial pressure on families struggling with high meat prices, as they will no longer need to purchase livestock for the occasion.
Hicham El Jouabri, regional secretary of wholesale red meat traders in Casablanca-Settat, predicted that the royal decision would lead to a gradual drop in meat prices by reducing demand on an already strained livestock market.
The move is also expected to push those stockpiling sheep for Eid al-Adha to sell them for regular consumption, making meat more accessible. “Prices have already reached 120 MAD per kilogram and could surge to 200 MAD if the Eid sacrifice goes ahead,” Jedri warned.

Beyond economic factors, economist Mehdi Fakir highlighted that the decision allows the livestock population a much-needed recovery period, promoting long-term sustainability.

However, Jedri urged the government to support livestock farmers in maintaining their herds and ensuring profitability. Many breeders fear the decision will devastate their already fragile financial situation, as they rely on Eid sales to recover from economic losses caused by drought.
“We’ll be ruined,” warned Al Ayachi, a farmer from Laarach, emphasizing that breeders have incurred substantial costs over the past months and cannot afford further losses.
He also warned that the decision could severely impact rural communities, potentially forcing some residents to migrate to urban areas in search of financial stability.

He said, "Peace is there in the city. Proper deployment of police personnel, PAC is there. It is the duty of police to fully implement the Court's order on the ground, and we will do that. Police are alert ahead of Friday prayers. "
Security has been heightened in the Shahi Jama Masjid area of Sambhal after the Allahabad High Court directed a three-member committee to oversee the mosque's painting ahead of Ramzan, officials said on Thursday.
Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal mandated a panel consisting of officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), a scientific expert, and a local administration representative to ensure the work was conducted without causing structural damage to the mosque.
Sambhal ASP Shrish Chandra told ANI that heavy security arrangements have been put in place around the site. "Tight security arrangements have been made around the disputed site. An adequate police force has been deployed... Peace will be maintained... Surveillance is being conducted through CCTV and drones," he said.
Samajwadi Party (SP) spokesperson Ameeque Jamei assured that peace would prevail in Sambhal.
"During Diwali, houses across the country are cleaned and painted. Similarly, ahead of Ramzan, mosques are also cleaned and painted. I believe the ASI should extend its full support instead of getting involved in politics. Those attempting to disrupt the unity of Sambhal will not succeed. Sambhal will remain united," he told ANI.
Earlier in the month, the Uttar Pradesh police's SIT filed a chargesheet of over 4,000 pages in six of the 12 cases in the November 24 Sambhal violence that erupted during the ASI's examination of the Mughal-era mosque. (ANI)
