Affected countries such as such as Syria and Jordan government has partaken responsibility
of tackling this crisis by subsidising. As the price of sheep and goats increases the demand is less,
therefore in order for the demand curve and the supply curve to meet- the government has to
intervene, in this case by 'subsidising' where the government pays the producers additional payment
to lower the price of sheep and goats, where it is goats and/or sheep are affordable for people in
Qatar. However, 'subsiding' does not work affect the supply curve or the suppliers, as they still
achieve financial gain.
During such period of time where demand has increased on one market of goats and sheep,
has affected other protein-related markets to go down. For example, as mentioned in the article that
fish consumption during the period of Muslim festivals 'Eid al Haji', the demand for fish has been
low due to the availability of meat in abundance. The reason to why fish market has gone down is
because there is more supply or quantity of meat such as goat and sheep, therefore the
production of fish has stopped for this period of time, as the demand of fish has gone down, the
producers would not make much income from fish production than they would from the production
of meat (mostly goats and sheep). As shown from (Fig iii.), as the demand of fish is low, the prices
will go down, as little of this good will be produced. However in a long-run it will be an alternative
more people who dont get meat but fish, to buy fish at a cheaper price, therefore there will be a
demand of this good and will result to increase the price of fish.
