Ministry of Agriculture Announces Indicative Prices for Eid Al-Adha Sacrificial Animals - Jordan News
The Ministry of Agriculture has announced the opening of imports for live sacrificial animals from Syria, as part of efforts to boost supply in local markets and stabilize prices ahead of Eid Al-Adha. اضافة اعلان According to the ministry's spokesperson, Lawrence Al-Majali, in a radio statement, importing live Syrian kids (young goats) has been approved and they are now available in local markets as an option for Eid sacrifices. He added that importing live sheep from Syria is currently limited to the military institution only, noting that this decision is part of the ministry's policy to diversify sources of sacrificial animals and reduce pressure on domestic production. Al-Majali highlighted that most sacrificial animals in Jordan are of local origin, in addition to imported animals from countries such as Romania, Australia, and Spain. He emphasized that importing from Syria helps balance supply and demand during the Eid season and enhances citizens' ability to purchase sacrifices at reasonable prices. Sacrificial Animal Prices Al-Majali noted that the livestock market in Jordan is witnessing an unprecedented abundance this year, with about 580,000 heads of local and imported sheep available, while the market demand is estimated at only 250,000 to 300,000 heads. He also shared indicative prices for sacrifices: The average price for a medium-sized imported sacrifice ranges between 200 to 225 Jordanian Dinars. The local sacrifice ranges between 220 to 260 Dinars, depending on supply, demand, and availability. He clarified that these prices are indicative, not fixed, and based on market conditions. Prices usually start to drop after the afternoon of the first day of Eid and continue to decline during the following Tashreeq days. Al-Majali urged citizens to shop around and compare prices before buying, noting that there are over 400 livestock sale points in Amman alone, in addition to other sites across the kingdom.

It involves an increased presence of both mobile and foot patrols, and heightened readiness to handle reports and observations around the clock. The plan also includes elevated preparedness at border crossings and terminals, which are expected to witness heavy traffic due to the return of expatriates and the arrival of visitors from neighboring countries, in addition to pilgrims returning from Hajj. On the traffic front, specialized departments have already begun implementing a strategy to organize traffic flow and prevent dangerous violations and reckless behavior.

Demand for Jordanian dinar surges ahead of Eid holiday
Ammon News - Demand for the Jordanian dinar is "significantly" increasing at exchange agencies in the local market, ahead of Eid al-Adha holiday and the start of the summer season, representative of financial and banking sector at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC), Firas Sultan, said. Sulatn noted the activity is primarily due to the "crucial" increase in remittances from Jordanian expatriates, which "typically double" during those periods to meet their families' needs during the holiday. Sulatn indicated that this growth is reflected in the increased volume of foreign currency exchange in favor of the Jordanian dinar. "These remittances are a main source of foreign currency in the local market and directly contribute to strengthening monetary reserves and supporting the purchasing power of Jordanian households, especially amid Eid preparations," he pointed out. According to data from the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ), remittances from Jordanian expatriates increased by 3% during the first quarter of this year, reaching $889 million. The bank added that the return of thousands of Jordanian expatriates to spend their holidays in the Kingdom during the Eid holiday and the increased tourist activity contribute to increased demand for the dinar, stressing the importance of this financial activity in supporting the Kingdom's economic cycle. Sultan also praised the CBJ's "key" role and its "prudent" policy in maintaining Jordan's monetary policy and enhancing confidence in the local currency.
