India exports meat and meat products to more than

60 countries with its total exports reaching Rs. 3274.74

crores in the year 2006-07. Malaysia and UAE are two of its

major importers but export to these countries is subject

to regular inspection of slaughter houses and meat

processing units.

OnAPEDA's initiation a 3 member delegation from the UAE

and a 10 member delegation from Malaysia visited Indian

slaughterhouses.They were completely satisfied by the food

safety procedures adopted and approved export of meat and

meat products from the inspected meat processing plants

and slaughterhouses.

This initiative will surely give a boost to the export of meat

and meat products which includes sheep and goat meat and

also buffalo boneless meat.
