According to those working in the market, animals from Syria, Iran, Georgia, India and other places are imported. The buyers, who see the week before Eid as an opportunity to sell their animals, have been preparing.
“There are all types of large and small animals suitable for sacrifice that can be found here despite the market not being as active as the years before. But we expect the number of buyers to increase in the few next days for selling and buying,” Tahsin Hamad Ameen, one of the sellers, told Anadolu Agency.
“Eid al-Adha has a large impact on the bazaar. Sellers and owners of animals tend to their animals for a year to sell them for this Eid. This year the number of animals is massive, but buyers are much fewer. The animals are cheap. The price of a small animal is 300,000-350,000 Iraqi dinars, and big cattle for 500,000.”
