Berbera — Livestock exporters at Berbera port say shipments to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf destinations are running at their strongest pre-Hajj pace in three years, aided by streamlined veterinary clearance and steadier freight rates.
Officials caution that the season's gains still depend on rangeland conditions inland, where a patchy rainy season has left some herds in poorer shape than headline export numbers suggest.
