South Africa's borders remain closed for livestock exports due to the loss of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)-free status and outbreaks of the disease. However, the Red Meat Producers’ Organisation (RPO) has successfully resumed exports of red meat to various countries, reaching record levels. The RPO has also formed the National Genetic Export Advisory Committee (NGEAC) and the International Red Meat Forum, involving countries like Namibia and Botswana, to negotiate the export of genetic material.
