Two flights were made to supply live cattle from Riga to the countries of Central Asia. 240 heads of young animals from Estonia were transported through the airport in Riga to the airport in Tashkent. The ability to transport animals by air significantly reduces transport time. Cattle buyers are showing great interest in this new opportunity, and for the Latvian cattle breeding industry this means increased competitiveness. In the future, the company plans to receive cargoes with cattle not only from the Baltic countries, but also from Poland and Austria, from which it will also be possible to transport animals through the Riga airport. "It will take time for customers to realize that there is such an opportunity, because until now this has not happened in the Baltic countries for 36 years. The exception was Lithuania, from which calves were sent to Israel 15 or 20 years ago. Perhaps the most famous airport in Europe in this area is the Belgian one, from where animals are transported to different parts of the world. I think the Riga area has become very well known even in a larger farm," says Riga. Adams.
