The likelihood of resuming exports of Irish cattle to Egypt increased after Ireland’s Department of Agriculture successfully negotiated a veterinary certificate for fattening cattle for live export, Conor Finnerty writes for Agriland. The Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA) has reportedly been pushing that the certificate on live cattle to Egypt be extended to cover fattening, but quarantine remains to be an issue. The IFA says quarantine continues to involve excessive time and costs. Ireland has been cleared to export cattle since February 2016.
