As for the EXPORT of cattle itself , in good years it amounted to more than 450 thousand heads per year (which can reach several hundred million tons). At the same time, it is the main engine for the production of this livestock in the country. The main buyers were other countries in the bloc, notably Germany , Italy , Portugal and France .
