Western Cape Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism MEC, Ivan Meyer, has welcomed the continued growth of the province's equine export industry, highlighting its contribution to job creation, rural development and economic growth.
The Western Cape's growing equine export industry is creating jobs and strengthening South Africa's agricultural economy, with 31 horses recently exported to France through Cape Town International Airport.
Western Cape Minister of Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism, Ivan Meyer, has welcomed the continued growth of horse exports, describing it as a sign of the province's strong animal health systems and global competitiveness.
The latest consignment departed on June 30 after completing the mandatory pre-export quarantine period at the Kenilworth Quarantine Station, a key facility that enables South African horses to access international markets.
According to Meyer, the successful export highlights the province's ability to meet strict international biosecurity requirements.
