As Eid al Adha approaches casablanca food prices show mixed movement

Casablanca’s wholesale food markets recorded uneven price shifts this week as Eid al Adha approaches and consumer demand patterns begin to adjust. Fresh data from the municipal supply monitoring system showed contrasting trends across vegetables, fruits, and meat products.

Vegetable prices remained broadly stable, although some categories moved within narrow ranges. Tomatoes widened their price band to between MAD 3.50 and 7.50 per kilogram. Carrots edged slightly higher at the upper end of their range. Fresh onions held steady, while potatoes, cauliflower, and white cabbage showed no major variation compared with the previous week.

Dry onions continued their upward trend for a second consecutive week. Prices rose to between MAD 6.00 and 10.00 per kilogram, extending a gradual increase observed in recent market updates. Courgettes, cucumbers, and eggplants also registered modest gains, reflecting short term supply pressure in local wholesale channels.

Fruit prices moved mostly downward across several categories. Oranges recorded a sharp decline, dropping to between MAD 2.50 and 4.00 per kilogram. Watermelon and honeydew melon also fell compared with the previous week. Avocados remained the most expensive fruit in the market, while both local and imported bananas and apples held relatively stable ranges.

Red meat prices at Casablanca municipal slaughterhouses showed slight fluctuations as Eid demand begins to build. Beef prices ranged between MAD 85 and 98 per kilogram, while lamb prices slipped slightly on the lower end but remained broadly stable overall. Market activity reflects early seasonal adjustments linked to the religious holiday period.
