Why are Sudanese sheep among the most sought-after in Saudi Arabia?
Taste, price, volume and seasons: why demand for Sudanese sheep is so high in the Saudi market.
In short: Sudanese sheep sell well in Saudi Arabia for four reasons: leaner meat, prices suited to volume compared with local breeds, availability in quantity at peak seasons, and a long trading relationship between the two countries. Demand peaks before Eid al-Adha, in Ramadan and during Hajj.
| Season | Why demand rises |
|---|---|
| Eid al-Adha | sacrifices — the year's peak |
| Ramadan | iftar gatherings and feasts |
| Hajj | hadi, sacrifices and Makkah's needs |
| Weddings and events | large feasts |
