During the first quarter of 2026, the livestock and livestock products industry experienced overall positive trends, with significant growth in marketing volumes across the cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry sectors.
The dairy sector showed weaker performance in the domestic milk production segment.
Cattle marketing rose by nearly 20%, and beef exports tripled, despite a sharp downturn in domestic abattoir activity.
Sheep marketing surged nearly 70% due to live exports and increased European demand, while goat marketing saw modest growth. Pig marketing increased slightly due to reduced imports, while poultry saw double-digit growth in chicken and egg sales.
