In Brazil, discussions are underway regarding a potential ban on live cattle export, driven by requests from NGOs. The issue is not expected to impact the industry in the immediate future, but is being closely monitored, according to Fernando Petruzzi, the consignee of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Despite these discussions, the live cattle export market remains steady with a slight increase in calf prices. The primary markets for Brazil's live cattle exports are Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, and Iraq.
