KUWAIT'S LIVESTOCK PRICES HAVE RISEN BY 35%

  • 18/02/2022

Kuwait City: The COVID-19 pandemic's effects are still being felt in key sectors, such as the livestock market, which has seen a 35 percent increase in prices in recent days due to a shortage of animal feed imported into the country compared to previous periods and a significant increase in demand from citizens and residents. The prices of local sheep of the "Shafali" kind increased at the livestock market in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh earlier this week. 


The cost of a head ranged from KD 70 to KD 80. (depending on size). It was just sold for around KD 60. The price of a Georgian lamb was KD 60, and the price of a local Naimi sheep was KD 120. Customers have a high demand for medium-sized Shafali and Al-Nuaimi varieties, according to livestock market vendors, who stressed that the amounts transacted in the market determine the pricing based on supply and demand. 

Meanwhile, despite the high prices, which are comparable to the cost of Australian sheep, which runs between KD 59 and KD 62, people are flocking to the livestock market. They explained that they are forced to pay the difference and buy Shafali and Nuaimi sheep for their homes or even events since the prices are so close, and that the size of the sheep sold at the market is larger than those sold in livestock trading companies and butcheries.
