Major Export Companies - these companies are major participants in the live export industry. They assemble and prepare export consignments of animals.

Mr Ahmad Ghosheh Livestock Shipping Services (Exporters of sheep and cattle) P O Box 1441 South Perth WA 6951

The four major exporters of cattle, sheep and goats are:

Al Mukairish Australia Pty Ltd - is Saudi owned.

Wellard Rural Pty Ltd - is Italian owned

Livestock Shipping Services - is a Jordanian company

Emanuel Exports Pty Ltd - is owned here in Australia however their MAJOR agreement is with Kuwaiti Livestock Transport and Trading Company of Kuwait.

SO the vast majority of money goes overseas, not into community as they like to claim.
