Nuevo León has lost its animal health status to export live cattle to the United States, leading to a 58.8% drop in exports in the 2023-2024 cattle cycle compared to the previous year.

The loss of this certificate affects one of the most important industries in the state, with over 13,000 members from the Regional Livestock Union of Nuevo León.
