Though the Indian meat production has been growing at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% during the last
one decade, there is a considerable concern to a certain
extent about production, which remains static or flow at the
present growth rate of 2% annually. Meat exports are likely
to increase at an annual growth rate of about 10%. While in
the previous year 2005-06, the exports touched a
spectacular 48%. The export of buffalo meat has been
growing at a CAGR of about 8%. The country produces an
estimated 1.5 million tonnes of buffalo meat annually. Of this,
about 24% is exported. Meat is primarily exported to the
Philippines, Malaysia, West Asian countries like the UAE,
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman etc., African and CIS countries.

Revolution, India is now fervently poised for the Pink
Revolution that will ensure diversification and large
investments in meat-food-processing.

processing industry.
