A working session was held at the Ghzoun governorate on Wednesday to present a national program aimed at providing sacrificial animals for Eid Al-Adha 2027. The program seeks to provide 30,000 sacrificial animals, exclusively for sale through structured and designated sales points. This initiative is part of Tunisia's efforts to enhance food security, support livestock production, and regulate the sacrificial animal market.
The program is designed to support breeders by providing them with financial and technical advantages. It adopts an integrated approach that links organized production to structured marketing. This includes supporting breeders in acquiring and fattening sacrificial animals, providing necessary feed and financing, as well as technical, health, and veterinary support. The goal is to improve productivity and provide high-quality sacrificial animals under optimal conditions.
During the session, the conditions and mechanisms for participating in the program were explained, along with the financial and technical benefits allocated to breeders. The importance of early participation was emphasized to allow breeders to adequately prepare for the season and ensure proper herd preparation. Ghzoun Governor, Karim Al-Berengi, stressed the need to mobilize various regional structures and intensify fieldwork to promote the program and support interested breeders.
The program aims to limit speculation and monopolization, improve marketing channel organization, and enhance citizens' purchasing power. By providing sacrificial animals through structured sales points, the program seeks to create a more organized and transparent market. This initiative is expected to benefit both breeders and consumers by ensuring a stable and reliable supply of sacrificial animals.
The working session was attended by various stakeholders, including regional authorities, breeders, and representatives from relevant institutions. The program's implementation will involve collaboration between different entities to ensure its success. By supporting the livestock sector, the program is expected to contribute to Tunisia's food security and economic development.
The Ghzoun region is expected to play a significant role in the program's implementation, given its importance in livestock production. The region's breeders will benefit from the program's financial and technical support, enabling them to improve their productivity and contribute to the national goal of providing high-quality sacrificial animals.
The program's success will be evaluated based on its ability to achieve its objectives, including providing 30,000 sacrificial animals and promoting a more organized and transparent market. The initiative is part of Tunisia's efforts to enhance its food security and support its livestock sector, and its impact is expected to be felt beyond the Eid Al-Adha celebrations.
