Sacrificial sheep price falls, demand remains sluggish
KUWAIT CITY, June 4: Although prices of sacrificial sheep have dropped compared to last year and demand is expected to increase ahead of Eid Al-Adha, the market remains sluggish despite a growing trend of online purchases. In an interview with the newspaper, citizen Fahd Al-Mutairi said he noticed that most Kuwaitis still prefer to buy local sheep, even though they are more expensive than imported varieties. He disclosed that he surveyed several sellers before making a purchase and found that prices for local sheep range between KD165 and KD175. However, he criticized the lack of price regulation, describing the pricing as 'arbitrary,' with some local sheep selling for as low as KD160. Sheep trader Abu Mutab, also a citizen, confirmed that prices have declined by about 10 percent compared to last year. He attributed the dip to the recent closure of the Kabad livestock market due to the spread of a virus in some cattle farms. He clarified that although the disease affected cows and not sheep, and despite repeated assurances from the Food Authority that it poses no risk to consumers, the temporary closure has disrupted supply and undermined confidence in the market. He expects a slight increase in prices closer to Eid Al-Adha, particularly by Wednesday and Thursday, pointing out that just a month ago, prices were approximately 10 percent higher. He also voiced concern about the surge in online sheep sales; many of which, he claimed, are conducted by unlicensed sellers. While online shopping is convenient for many customers, he warned that it can be misleading, especially for buyers unfamiliar with sheep breeds. He cautioned that some sellers may falsely market imported sheep as local, potentially deceiving customers. He called on regulatory authorities to intensify oversight of online livestock sales to protect both the market and consumers. Another citizen, who identified himself as Butarki, disclosed that he makes it a point to buy his sacrificial sheep from the Kabad livestock market every year. He observed that prices this year are noticeably lower than last year, which he attributed to what he described as a general lack of interest from citizens in purchasing sheep this season. Bu Faisal, a livestock farm owner, affirmed that the price of local sheep tends to fluctuate based on the cost of animal feed. He said this year's price decline is largely due to the abundance of various types of sheep currently available in the local market. He cited another factor -- the noticeable reluctance of charitable organizations and committees to purchase sacrificial animals for donation this year, which has led to an oversupply. He explained that prices are also influenced by seasonal dynamics, such as many citizens choosing to travel abroad during the Eid holiday; thereby, reducing local demand. He added that pricing can vary depending on the market's location, with some areas commanding higher prices than others. He echoed concerns over online sales, saying that the prevalence of online sheep sellers has played a major role in pushing prices down this season. He stressed that fluctuations in feed prices and labor costs remain critical factors that influence the cost of local sheep in particular. With Eid al-Adha approaching, the Kabad sheep market is witnessing a slowdown and decline in prices compared to last year. The staff of the newspaper toured the market, where both traders and citizens expressed expectations that prices may rise slightly as the Day of Arafat nears. Still, the overall sentiment remains one of stagnation, with many pointing to the surge in online sheep sales as a major contributor to the current downturn. Bilal Al-Din, a trader specializing in Saudi sheep, said prices currently range from KD166 to KD175 with weights between 28 and 35 kilograms. He pointed out that prices are roughly KD10 lower than they were two months ago. Sheep seller Mizan Rahman stated that he exclusively sells Iraqi sheep for KD110. He revealed that local sheep are priced between KD170 and KD175, Syrian sheep between KD140 and KD145, and Iranian sheep from KD95 to KD100. Similarly, trader Mubarak Al-Ali disclosed that he deals only in Iranian sheep, priced at KD95 to KD100; indicating that most of his customers are Iranians and other expatriates who often choose more affordable options compared to the higher-priced local or other Arab breeds. Sheep seller Abdul Hamid Hussein corroborated this view, saying local sheep are sold for between KD160 and KD170, with Saudi sheep only slightly cheaper. He added that prices are expected to rise automatically on the Day of Arafat due to increased demand, revealing that the weights at his store range from 25 to 30 kilograms.

Eid market oversight intensifies
KUWAIT CITY, June 3: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry affirmed the availability of a sufficient number of sacrificial animals of various types, sizes, and prices in the markets to meet the demands of citizens and residents during Eid al-Adha. Director of the Department of Commercial Control and Consumer Protection Faisal Al-Ansari said the department's emergency teams conducted intensive market campaigns to monitor prices and ensure the availability of adequate quantities of sacrificial animals. He explained that field monitoring revealed the availability of adequate quantities of imported sacrificial animals. The price of a 40-kilogram Juffali sheep ranges between KD 95 and KD 120, a 50-kilogram Syrian sheep between KD 125 and KD 140, a 30-kilogram Somali sheep between KD 45 and KD 55, and a 45-kilogram Jordanian sheep between KD 100 and KD 115. Such inspection campaigns would continue in all markets before, during, and after Eid al-Adha, in cooperation with imported sheep traders, to ensure sufficient meat quantities are available at affordable prices. Al-Ansari indicated that a comprehensive plan has been developed to survey central and subsidiary markets, including meat, sweets, fruits, dates, and other shops, to ensure vendors comply with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's regulations and requirements. He commended the efforts of the Coast Guard and the Customs in facilitating the release of shipments arriving from neighboring countries by sea.
