SOUTH EAST ASIA Australia is the main exporter of livestock to South-East Asia, supplying protein alongside red meat derived from domestic livestock production, via mainly by intra-regional trade of cattle, sheep and goats and from frozen product exported from India and South America.  

In 2016-17 Indonesia (509,110 head) and Vietnam (158,201 head) accounted for more than two-thirds of Australia’s total live cattle exports.

Other countries in South East Asia which import Australia cattle include Brunei, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.

Malaysia is Australia's largest market for live goats, importing 25,786 head in 2016-17, accounting for 90 per cent of total goat volumes. An increasing number of Australian sheep are also being imported by Malaysia, with 54,063 consigned in 2016-17.
