Australia is the world's largest exporter of livestock, and the most successful country engaged in international livestock exports. Australia is an important source of protein for many countries around the world that cannot produce enough livestock to feed their population, and we are able to meet overseas demand for livestock exports as well as chilled and boxed meat products.Australia's livestock exports include cattle, sheep and goats that are exported overseas for either food production or breeding. Many countries prefer to purchase livestock for cultural and religious reasons. In addition, many people have a preference for fresh meat rather than chilled or frozen products and in some cases a lack of infrastructure means people need to buy fresh meat every day instead of the chilled meat that's available at supermarkets or butchers.
The live export industry is focused on ensuring Australia's animals are well cared for and that the industry meets the standards that Australian farmers, livestock exporters and communities expect. The Australian live export industry is recognised as having the world's highest animal welfare standards for the export of livestock and is subject to strict regulatory requirements to ensure the well-being of Australian animals exported to overseas markets.
