During the reported period, the government expected 113.9 million dollars from the export of meat and milk products. Out of the total revenue, 61.3 million dollars was bagged from the export of goat and sheep meat. Ox meat and meat by-products generated 1.3 million dollars and 2.93 million dollars, respectively.
