“A total of 222 cattle or 143,504.2 lbs from the Orange Walk District were successfully exported today to Mexico,” said Belarmino Esquivel, Principal Agriculture Office and Livestock Director at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security, and Enterprise (MAFSE).

“This particular cattle export generated approximately $287,000.00 in revenue.”
