袋鼠肉將會進入中國市場?
Australia's ABC:The Chinese will soon be chowing down on kangaroo meat from far west New South Wales, if a South Australian meat processor has its way.
Adelaide-based Macro Meats has spent over a year working on the feasibility of exporting their national emblem onto Asian dining tables.
Now managing director, Ray Borda is confident that their 'roos will make the leap into China in 2014.
Ray Borda says apparently, it's all approved, but it's just getting all the legal health certificates and other requirements absolutely correct that is taking time. Macro Meats has been working with both Australian and Asian companies on logistics such as shipping and cold storage.
In the meantime, a new range has been developed that Mr Borda says bucks the 'roo's reputation as a "cheap cut" and a boring meat.
He said what they're trying to do with their new 'Paroo' range is to allow for more choice. The grey kangaroos are more flavour some, whereas the red kangaroos are more mild, more like beef.
