period 1988 to 2021. The data is collected from World Integrated Trade Solutions (WITS)

(ARDL) and Error Correction Form to check the existence of long-term and short-term
relationship between the variables. The findings of the study revealed that the animal exports
have a significant and positive impact on the Gross Value Added (GVA) in the long run while
the results from Error Correction Form posits that there is no short-run relationship between
the variables.
