JAKARTA: Indonesia will import 180,000 live cattle from Australia for the third quarter, marking the restart of imports after a ban on the trade was lifted this week, said chief economics minister Hatta Rajasa.
Australia's government removed a month-long ban on live cattle exports to neighbouring Indonesia on Wednesday, saying it was satisfied the A$320 million trade could resume after a furore over mistreatment of livestock.
Rajasa met with Australia's foreign minister Kevin Rudd in Jakarta on Friday to agree the detail of resumption of trade.
