The NFF supports the continuation of a sustainable live sheep export industry that is accountable and delivers positive animal welfare outcomes. The live sheep export trade is critical to many Australian farmers and regional communities, and makes a significant contribution to the broader Australian economy (more than $250 million in 2016-17). Australia is a leader in the global live export industry as the only country that demands welfare is monitored and protected through the whole supply chain.
