The article highlights a significant decrease in the export of Dutch heifers to Russia due to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In the 2020-2021 financial year, over 9,000 heifers were exported to Russia, which dropped to just over 4,800 in the 2021-2022 period. Despite this decline, Russia remains the primary destination for the export of breeding stock. The Dutch dairy sector has seen a reduction in cattle export activities compared to five years ago, with a notable drop from over 46,000 export certificates issued by CRV in the 2016-2017 financial year. The pandemic and the introduction of phosphate rights, leading to fewer young cattle, have further limited the availability of heifers for export.
