SOUNDBITE (Arabic): MBAREK, Sheep breeder in Marrakech region, Morocco
"Prices are a bit high this year because of the drought. Morocco has lacked rain since 2019 and we hope the future will be better because the situation of farmers is currently difficult. There's also transport and fuel prices, and we know people find sheep expensive this year, but everything comes from the lack of rain this year."
