The sheep export campaign for the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice has once again positioned Algeria as the main destination for Spanish lamb, both live and as meat, in a context marked by the absence of sales to Morocco.<\/p>\n

According to EFEAgro, exports to the Moroccan market have practically ground to a halt following the imposition of a 200% tariff on lamb from Spain and Portugal. This measure is part of Morocco’s strategy to protect and strengthen its domestic livestock after several years affected by drought.<\/p>\n

Given this situation, Algeria has absorbed a significant portion of the foreign demand. As early as 2025, Algeria accounted for 82% of Spanish live lamb exports during the month leading up to the religious festival, a trend that continued into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The sector views the Algerian market’s performance positively, although it also warns of the need to diversify export destinations and open new markets to avoid excessive dependence on a single buyer.<\/p>\n

In addition to the increase in live animal exports, Algeria is also increasing its purchases of meat and carcasses, a particularly positive trend for the Spanish processing industry, as it generates greater added value and reduces the health complexities associated with transporting live animals.<\/p>\n

The season has allowed export levels to remain similar to those of previous years, although the sector anticipates a moderation of farmgate prices once the religious celebrations have ended and with the arrival of summer, when lamb consumption traditionally decreases in the domestic market.<\/p>\n
