Ammon News - Assistant Secretary General for Livestock Affairs at the Ministry of Agriculture, Musbah Al-Tarawneh denied claims that livestock prices will rise to JD350 prior to Eid Al-Adha.

Al-Tarawneh further accused some traders of inflating livestock prices through media, after reaffirming that prices are considered normal and “reasonable” for all Jordanians.

He also stated that it is still considered “too early” to assume livestock prices for Eid al-Adha, adding that Jordan is still in the process of receiving livestock from neighboring countries such as Syria and Egypt.

In the meantime, Al-Tarawneh indicated that Jordan is yet to export any livestock, affirming that local demand for it is expected to be high for Eid al-Adha, which will deem prices to be affordable and reasonable for everyone.
