Horse and Rabbit Meat Markets - Possible Outlets for Exporters in Developing Countries

Article Abstract:

The market in rabbit and horse meat may be promising to developing countries' suppliers according to certain surveys. The local output of rabbit meat will probably not match demand for some time even though domestic production has increased in some areas. The same situation applies to horse meat production and demand. Marketing these products requires adherence to the health and veterinary laws of importing nations. Rural sector earnings could be inproved through rabbit meat marketing, as rabbits do not eat food which could be used for human consumption and they are superior food convertors. From 1977 to 1981 yearly world imports of rabbit were more than sixty thousand tons, and horse meat imports were in the neighborhood of a quarter million tons yearly. In 1977, the price of horse meat was about one- third less than beef, but by 1981, the price of the two meats was just about the same. Italy is the foremost importer of rabbit meat.
