What stands out in this basket?

The US$ 384.0 million in live cattle: it is an uncommon chapter in Brazilian trade, and Turkey ranks among the few destinations of weight. Unlike processed meat, live cattle depends on specific logistics and sanitary clearance, which makes the flow more sensitive to regulatory decisions than to price.
