Potential of EMU Business ?

[suniltheleo]

Hello Sirs,

I have read up aot of articles on Emu farming nd want to set up in my native village .The main issue is market for the end product. Where do I sell my Emus ? Somebody posted here that it will bought at the rate of Rs 300 per kg, which I think is marginally higher than Goat meat in market today ? I also heard that Agri Gold is into buying emus ? can somebody throw light on the market potential of this business ?

Hi

Where are you located???


Emus produce:

Meat - many people cannot eat beef without aggravating skin conditions, others need a low cholesterol meat and don't want to give up red meat, still others eat emu as a preventative measure against heart disease.

Oil Products - Emu Oil is derived from the rendered, refined and processed fat of the emu. For more information on Emu Oil, visit our News Page.

Feathers - depending on size, used in crafts, flower arrangements, on hats, as clothing accents, fishing lures, jewelry, etc.

Leather goods - whole body hides are used in home decor, finished leather products include but are not limited to: wallets, key rings, key cases, checkbook covers, travel organizers, clothing, and credit or business card holders.

Claws:- Emu claws are used in jewelry, on key chains, as clothing accents, in craft projects.

Bones are a more specialized product, but are used by many artists across the world in natural designs. Some of our customers paint scenes on the flat breastbone of the emu, others use the ribs with the feathers and other items from nature in wall hangings. Some people collect skulls or whole skeletons.

Eggs - There are two kinds of emu eggs, bumpy and smooth. The smooth egg is prized for carving by Egg Artists while the bumpy one is utilized in craft projects such as our Emu Egg Bird House.
