Product Profile of Processed Meat

Product Introduction
The total processing capacity in India is over 1 million tons per annum, of which 40-50 percent is utilized. India exports more than 500,000 tons of meat, mostly buffalo meat.

The production levels in these two categories have been almost constant at 950,000 tons with annual exports of less than 10,000 tons. more..
