We need to diversify the number of markets we are able to sell into, so that when the likes of Saudi Arabia come up with the next bullshit reason to block shipment of Somaliland livestock to them, there are other markets to still sell to. The addition of Egypt as a major new market is huge! We need to transition away from live animal exporting towards a frozen meat trade. The animals would be saved from the suffering of the voyage It’s worth more to the Somaliland economy to process animals in Somaliland, instead of shipping them live (leather). Meat processing facilities would create thousands of jobs. Farmers selling to the frozen meat trade would be exposed to less risk from closed markets or markets disrupted by disasters. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I think about it in light of your point above, it becomes obvious that the more often than not it is frozen meat rather than live animals that are shipped from New Zealand. I have no knowledge of this industry at all but my feeling is that the biggest hurdle to overcome would be more about ensuring the quality and healthiness/safety of the product, rather then facility or workforce challenges. Seems we've had a crack at this, but there is room for improvment. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
