Libya imported £3.4 million worth of live sheep since the beginning of April this year the Ministry of Economy of Libya’s internationally recognized government in Tripoli reported Wednesday.

The news coincided with the arrival of a ship earlier this week at Tripoli port carrying 477 tons of livestock.

 It also reported that the reduction of the foreign exchange surcharge rate to 163 percent, compared to 183 percent last Eid, may contribute to a reduction in the prices of imported sacrifices compared to last year.
