      abstract = {Both legal and illegal livestock marketing systems are  operating at different magnitudes
in the Amhara Region’s  Ethio-Sudan cross-border cattle trade. Small farmer  exporters and
traders are the major actors in the illegal  cattle marketing system while medium- to  largescale
licensed exporters are dominantly operating in  the legal system. Most cattle sales
are related to farm  households’ cash needs and commercial orientation. However,  cattle
sales are also induced due to fear of theft and  insecurity. The paper analyses volume of trade, transaction  costs, trade barriers or constraints and how to address  them.},
