Aus live cattle bound for Cambodia


22 August 2014

AUSTRALIAN live cattle exporters today warmly welcomed news that Cambodia is the latest market to open for Australian live cattle exports.

Australian and Cambodian government veterinary authorities have reached agreement on animal health certification requirements, paving the way for the start of trade in feeder and slaughter cattle between the two nations. Federal Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce said Australian exporters could now look to implement the Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS) and establish supply chains with Cambodian importers that met those requirements.

Meanwhile, Northern Territory Cattlemen’s Association CEO Tracey Hayes said the opening of Cambodia would create additional selling opportunities for northern beef producers.
