hello,
i am Anil from india, andhra pradesh. here emu bird farming is going on for the past 10 years, and it got more popularity in last 5 years only. here every one are saying that emu bird products like, meat, oil, skin and etc are having huge demand in U.S , EUROPEAN MARKETS and also in AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND. i want to whether is it true?
i had contacted some Friends and relatives in U.S and they said that they haven't seen selling emu meat in the grocery stores there and haven't seen a Menu card in the restaurant with Emu meat on it.
i want to know is there real market for emu bird? can u give me suggestions on this matter.

Thank you for your note. The market in the US is limited; it is not huge. There are several farmers that are doing well with their products by doing their own marketing. The oil is in greater demand than the meat.
There are some business people who are buying the oil, fat and meat. There are business people who are buying considerable amounts of oil for their companies, and they have established oil suppliers who are emu farmers.
I am not familiar with the European, Australian or New Zealand markets. At one time, the Australian market was large, but I do not know its status at this time.
The American Emu Association is having its annual meeting in July in Des Moines, Iowa. You can find out more information at American Emu Association | Developing structural support and visionary leadership for the emu industry
