Live exports are highly valued by the agri-business sector. My Department facilitates this commercial trade while ensuring that live animal exports are carried out in compliance with legislative welfare standards.

There are currently no trade restrictions on Israel in place.

There has been 1 shipment of 3,397 cattle to Israel since 7th October 2023.
