Mawashi announces end of sale of subsidized livestock

Qatar Company for Meat and Livestock Trading (Mawashi) has announced the end of sale of livestock from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Jordan, which it had offered at subsidized prices during the holy month of Ramadan and for the duration of Eid Al Fitr, as the subsidized quantity almost finished.

The subsidized prices initiative is running for the third consecutive year through the fruitful collaboration amongst the Ministry of Business and Trade, Qatar Development Bank and Mawashi and has been continuously well-received by Qataris owing to the role it plays in securing high-quality meat and livestock during Ramadan’s peak season at affordable prices.

A Mawashi official stated that this step strongly highlights the company’s steadfast commitment to cement well-measured fundamentals and methodologies for food pricing during Ramadan and throughout the year.

Mawashi was founded with the aim of meeting Qatar’s market needs in meat and livestock. The company transports livestock, fodder, and meat products to facilitate trade; manages the automatic and national slaughterhouses; and uses the latest technology in processing its products according to international standards and specifications.
