Livestock

Livestock trading has continuously increased over the last 20 years, 1990 and 2018, the volume of meat exports increased by more than threefold (327%). However, crop products still dominate agricultural trade. The proportion of meat in agricultural exports has fluctuated substantially between 5.6% and 7.5% for the last 20 years. An increase in the consumption of livestock products and change in trade policies or economic liberalization has increasingly facilitated a rise in livestock product trade Development in transport such as long-distance cold-chain shipments has made possible the trade and movement of perishable crops, livestock products, and feedstuffs over long distances. Although the bulk of livestock production is consumed within the country of origin, the continuous rise in consumption of livestock products and the increasing degree of openness to trade has made it possible for some countries to specialize in exporting certain livestock products. Trading patterns of meat exports, revealing that beef exports from Oceania and Latin America, pork from Europe and North America, poultry from Latin and North America, and mutton from Oceania have steadily increased in the last ten years. On a volume basis, Brazil has been the largest beef exporter globally since 2017, followed by Australia, India, and the United States of America (USA). Over the past decade, India's rise in beef exports is a new phenomenon fueled by rising developing country demand. Foot and mouth disease status is a significant driver of global trade patterns in beef (and lamb).
