U.S. the Largest Market for Australian Goat Meat

The United States has become Australia's largest market for goat meat. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service reports that in 1990, the United States imported 3 million pounds of goat meat. By 2001, that number had risen to almost 12.6 million pounds. The goat-slaughter rate at USDA-inspected facilities more than doubled, to 560,000 goats, during the same time period. The Wall Street Journal reported on June 4 that goats have become one of the fastest-growing U.S. agricultural industries.
