Oran: arrivée d’un navire transportant des ovins en provenance de Roumanie
Summary of the Arrival of Sheep Cargo in Oran
On Thursday, Oran welcomed its sixth shipment of imported sheep from Romania as part of the planned import program for the upcoming Aïd festival. This initiative aims to bolster local supplies in anticipation of increased demand during the holiday.
Upon arrival at the port, the unloading of the sheep was promptly conducted following the completion of health inspections carried out by veterinary inspectors. These procedures are crucial to ensure the animals’ health and safety before they are distributed for sale. Representatives from the transport authority, agricultural services, and the Oran port authority were present to oversee the process, highlighting the collaboration among various agencies involved in the importation effort.
Logistical arrangements were put in place for transporting the sheep to designated quarantine areas. This step ensures that the animals meet all necessary health standards before they enter the local market.
To date, the Oran port has successfully discharged a total of 69,000 sheep imported from Romania and Spain, underscoring the significance of this import program in supporting local supply chains while catering to the cultural traditions associated with the Aïd celebration.
This initiative not only addresses the immediate demand for sheep but also reflects broader efforts to enhance food security and provide sufficient livestock for local communities.
