Jordan exported 60,000 sheep to GCC countries in past 8 days — Livestock Breeders Association
AMMAN — The Kingdom exported around 60,000 sheep to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries over the past eight days, said Head of the Livestock Breeders Association Zaal Kawalit.
This came following Saudi Arabia’ decision to lift its temporary ban on Jordanian livestock imports on June 14.
The ban was primarily imposed due to safety concerns following the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) among cattle in the Dhuleil and Hallabat districts at the beginning of this year.
