Saudi market opening may revive live sheep trade
14 Jan 2005
The export of live sheep from Australia fell by 23 per cent to 3.6 million sheep over the numbers exported in 2003, while the level was 40 per cent below that recorded in 2002. The live sheep trade was dealt a blow after Saudi Arabia was banned from the trade in August 2003 following the stranding of thousands of sheep on board the Cormo Express in the Persian Gulf for animal health reasons. Industry body Livecorp expects the live sheep trade to Saudi Arabia to resume in the first half of 2005.
