The forecast for the import of live sheep to China indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with values dropping from 2.2956 million USD in 2024 to 1.5723 million USD in 2028. Comparing the forecasted data, the annual import value shows an average decrease in the rate of approximately 9.5% over the five-year period. This consistent decline suggests a shrinking demand or increased self-sufficiency.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in domestic livestock policies and their impact on import needs.
Changes in consumer preferences affecting the demand for live sheep imports.
Influence of international trade relations and tariffs on import volumes.
Technological advancements in local sheep farming improving productivity.
