GLOBAL CATTLE BUSINESS: FACT SHEET

  3. CHINA 100 million.
  4. USA 93 million.
  5. EU 89 million.
  6. ARGENTINA 53 million
  7. AUSTRALIA 27 million
  8. RUSSIA 18 million
  9. MEXICO 16 million
  10. TURKEY 14 million.

B. TOP 10 MILK EXPORTERS

Additional Considerations:

  1. Nigeria is not among the top 20 nations in the global cattle business.
  2. Non of the top cattle producing nations create cattle colonies or engage in primitive cattle grazing. All the top cattle producing and exporting nations utilise modern technology and ranching methods to maximise production and profit.
  3. Non of the top nations earning billions of dollars annually from the cattle business condone the killing of citizens for cattle.
  4. Nigeria’s cattle business requires a complete re-think now and not later, for posterity’s sake.
