AGRICULTURAL NEWS - Despite rabbit meat being consumed in large quantities in the European Union and Asia, it has not yet found mainstream appeal in South Africa, according to John Falck, CEO of Coniglio Rabbit Meat Farm.
Nevertheless, it seems as if the local market is starting to acquire a taste for it.
“Consumers who have had the opportunity to try rabbit meat have been pleasantly surprised,” he says.
Coniglio Rabbit Meat Farm, near Durbanville in the Western Cape, was established in 2011 to supply rabbit products to markets abroad and stimulate the demand locally.
Over the past six years, the business has gained momentum and gradually increased its product range as the demand for rabbit meat has grown.
