Mauritania –Circulating data regarding the import of camels from Mauritania to Morocco indicate that talk about the existence of a monopoly on import licenses by a limited number of people does not reflect the current situation, at a time when the import of camels via this route has been halted since 1994.
According to available data, camels coming from Mauritania have not been allowed to be brought into the national territory since that date, within the framework of regulatory, health and security controls related to the movement of the herd across the border, which makes talk of monopolizing import licenses that are currently open a matter that requires scrutiny, given that imports from this route have already been halted for decades.
The Moroccan regulatory system imposes restrictions on a number of imports, while subjecting the entry of herds across the southern border to strict monitoring, especially in light of the sensitivity of the region and the risks associated with smuggling and the movement of herds outside legal channels.
In this context, the rise in camel prices is not directly linked to what is described as a monopoly on import licenses, as other factors interfere in determining prices, including the decline in herd numbers, the high costs of breeding and fodder, and successive years of drought, in addition to developments in supply and demand in the market.
These data come at a time when the prices of camels in the southern regions recorded a remarkable increase, as the price of a camel exceeded 20 thousand dirhams, while the price of a camel reached about 34 thousand dirhams, and the price of some camels reached between 55 thousand and 65 thousand dirhams.
The rise in camel prices was also reflected in the meat market, as the price of camel meat at some butchers in the city of Laayoune exceeded 150 dirhams per kilogram.
