Description
Evija Skujina and Irina Pilvere analyze live cattle exports across European Union states from 2014 to 2024 in a 2026 study. Farm policy reforms and green strategy goals are reshaping the cattle sector, and trade patterns differ sharply by country. The authors combined export values, cattle population trends and clustering methods to group twenty-three member states by how export intensity and herd change move together over the decade.
Total live cattle export value rose strongly while the overall herd shrank, a split pattern the authors call decoupled. Three country groups emerged, from export-heavy states with falling herds to domestically focused states with low export intensity. Uneven structures raise questions about long-term competition and how common policies land in different national farm systems.
