Turkey's ministry has announced that live imports of weanling cattle will resume in the coming weeks after being halted since November. Turkish importers will also have to pay for licences.
Imports had been suspended to stabilise domestic beef prices.
Resumed Turkish live cattle imports add modest demand for weanlings from Ireland and South America, though transport and quarantine costs limit competitiveness.
