Tabaski 2026 : Ziguinchor face à la flambée des prix des moutons
In Ziguinchor, the livestock markets are well-stocked with sheep, but transactions are slow. The atmosphere is tense, marked by a real tug-of-war between sellers defending their prices and buyers who consider them too high. Prices, ranging from 130,000 to over 200,000 CFA francs, are causing concern among Muslim worshippers wishing to perform the sacrifice of the Prophet Ibrahim.
At the market in the Alwar neighborhood, vendors offer various explanations. For some transporters, the price increase is linked to the security situation in the Sahel. "The blockade imposed on Bamako by a jihadist group and the unexpected decision by the Burkinabe government prevent us from selling at the prices buyers want," explains Ahmet Fall. Others, like Amadou Diallo, point to the high costs of transport and feed: "We spend a lot on transporting and caring for the animals. Feed is expensive in Ziguinchor. Customers can't understand these costs." For the faithful, this price surge risks weighing heavily on households, especially the most vulnerable. "The increase affects everyone," emphasizes Mohamed Sagna, a father we met there.
Authorities had estimated the need for sheep in the region at over 25,000 head. On the eve of Tabaski, however, the main livestock market in Ziguinchor remains well-stocked, fueling the hopes of breeders and sellers to sell the bulk of their livestock despite the persistent price pressure.
