    Red meat prices continue to record a continuous increase in the Iraqi markets, with the end of the first week of the holy month of Ramadan approaching, at a time when the numbers of livestock are witnessing a significant decline due to the drought crisis and lack of government support.
    The price of one kilogram of lamb and beef ranges between 19,000 to 23,000 (equivalent to 13 to 16 US dollars), with an average increase of about 5,000 dinars per kilo, compared to pre-Ramadan prices.
    Some media circulated news that the reason for the high price of red meat in Anbar province was the smuggling of sheep and livestock to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
    The livestock sector in the central and southern regions of Iraq faces many challenges that caused the level of livestock and poultry breeding to drop by more than 50% during the last period, due to many factors, including the high drought rate in Iraq and the lack of government support for the breeders sector.
    Earlier today, Tuesday, the Anbar Governorate Agriculture Directorate attributed the rise in red meat prices to the reluctance of breeders to sell sheep, in addition to the harassment of some of them at the security controls during their movement, denying that breeders smuggled sheep to Saudi Arabia.
    Yesterday, Monday, the Ministry of Agriculture identified the reasons for the rise in meat in the local markets, while indicating that measures were taken to reduce it and protect rare animals.
    The Administrative Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Mahdi Sahar al-Jubouri, said in a press statement that "the agricultural sector, in both its plant and animal parts, has been significantly affected by the scarcity of water and the climate change crisis, and in particular the productive animals represented by sheep, cows, buffaloes and goats."
    Al-Jubouri pointed out that “the fluctuation and rise in meat prices in the local markets is due to the lack of natural pastures and fodder, in addition to the high demand for them, which led to an increase in their prices during the past months.”
    He added, "The ministry has taken a number of measures to reduce meat prices, including providing fodder for livestock breeders and supporting them with yellow corn, as these steps will be sufficient to reduce prices and protect rare animals such as al-Rim gazelles, falcons and birds in the marsh areas."
    Al-Jubouri continued, "Amounts of money have been allocated within the Food Security Law and the current year's budget for the rehabilitation of oases, forests and natural reserves belonging to the ministry's departments," noting that "the Ministry of Water Resources has been approached to increase water releases in the marsh areas to address the scarcity crisis and preserve livestock in the country.”
