MO,
The export of snails and frogs to France is an ready market that we cannot satisfy.The challenge will be to get farmers for this type of animal husbandry.
The market for dogs is also untapped .The challange will be to secure the silence of animal rights activitists.Otherwise we cab export frozen dog meat like Taiwanese export frozen pork to USA earning 20 billion USD per year.
Locally,I know a kikuyu friend of mine who had become millionaire by sourcing dogs from ugenya,garrisa for the Chinese building Thika Road.we call him Kariuki Mali ya Umbwa aka Kariuki wa Ngui.
Rats for Giriama there is ready market. In Kisii there is a problem in that there are too many SDAs.They don't drink coke and can't eat unhoofed animals.You know that MO?
