Qatar Launches National Initiative to Support Local Production and Sacrificial Animals for Eid Al‑Adha 2026

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), in coordination with the Ministry of Municipality, has announced the launch of the National Initiative to Encourage Local Production and Support Sacrificial Animals for Eid Al‑Adha 1447 AH – 2026.

The program aims to strengthen domestic agricultural output, ensure the availability of sacrificial animals at affordable, subsidized prices, and support citizens in observing Eid traditions. Officials emphasized that the initiative reflects Qatar’s commitment to promoting local production, enhancing food security, and safeguarding cultural practices during one of the most significant occasions in the Islamic calendar.

The announcement underscores the government’s broader strategy to bolster national self‑sufficiency while providing citizens with reliable access to livestock markets during the Eid season.
