01-Oct-2010 (15 years 8 months 5 days ago)According to information from commercial exchanges within the livestock farmers sector, the exportations, both within the EU as well as in other countries, show an upward trend.
The export ranking is headed by the swine sector, which exports 30% of their production to foreign markets, while the beef and dairy sectors export around 20% of their total production.
In the case of the swine sector, in this first trimester it has manager to icrease the figures from the year before (+2,5 % with respect to 2009 and + 7,4 % if we compare to the first trimester of 2008). But perhaps the best news from this first trimester is the fact that this increase is based on foreign exports (+ 14,2% with respect to 2009) more than on exports within the EU, although those have also experienced a slight increase (+0,5%).
