Libyan News Agency: High prices of sacrificial sheep among citizens' dissatisfaction in light of low salaries and traders' complaints about the lack of fodder.

Tripoli, July 17, 2021  (LANA) - Livestock markets in various Libyan cities are witnessing a significant increase in prices that do not match the monthly income of citizens, especially those who receive low salaries while traders complain about the high cost of fodder.

 Representatives of the Libyan News Agency, in tours they made to a number of markets, monitored the citizen’s complaints about the high cost of sacrificial sheep, as well as the merchants about the lack of fodder throughout the year and the monopoly of some private sector companies on prices in the absence of control over these companies.

The authors of the report noted a clear reluctance of citizens to buy sacrificial animals, noting that the prices ranged between 900 dinars and 2800 dinars, a figure that the one who receives a salary from the state cannot secure in light of his needs and his family to provide for other things.

  A number of citizens whom the agency’s delegates met expressed their dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Economy’s always late plans to carry out its responsibilities in allowing early coordination with the Central Bank to import livestock that would contribute to lowering prices for people with limited income and enable them to obtain a sacrifice.
