# Vietnam looks to import cattle from across the border

> Vietnam has asked Laotian authorities to supply up to 400 cattle per day, but Vientiane has requested more time. The two countries had signed a cattle export contract that has not yet been fulfilled. A Vientiane association plans to import 2,000 Australian cows and is seeking funding for the project.

## Why it matters

Regional live cattle trade in Southeast Asia is growing, but these volumes are small and unlikely to move global cattle or feed prices.
