Morocco’s agriculture ministry said a nationwide livestock identification operation ended on Dec. 31, 2025, closing a key step in a government program to rebuild the national herd after years of pressure on breeders and meat supply.
The ministry said the first tranche of support totalled 5.5 billion dirhams, with about 5.2 billion dirhams already paid to roughly 1.1 million breeders by bank transfer or payment order.
Officials said the identification drive covered 32.3 million head of livestock and created the database used to determine eligibility for direct aid.
The ministry said it will handle complaints during January from breeders who say they were missed by the identification process.
The program is being rolled out as Moroccan meat markets adjust to tight supply, with local reporting pointing to steep lamb price rises and a growing share of imported beef from Brazil and Uruguay.
