Govt Will Support Young Entrepreneurs In Rabbit Meat Production

The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries will continue to encourage young entrepreneurs to venture into rabbit meat production, Deputy Minister II Datuk Che Abdullah Mat Nawi said.

He said the industry has great potential as demand for rabbit meat had been increasing and it could be an alternative to beef and mutton as a protein source.

“There are several advantages in rabbit breeding including its short production cycle, lower operating costs and fast, lucrative returns,” he told reporters after a seminar on potential of rabbit meat production and modern fertigation for young entrepreneurs at Peladang Setiu Agro Resort here, last night.

“So far, we have assisted three potential farmers through the Young Agropreneur Scheme by providing them the necessary equipment, infrastructure and livestock feed amounting to RM60,000.

“JPV also provides assistance to rabbit breeders and is planning to build a rabbit slaughterhouse with halal status in the Kuala Nerus district,” he said.

He added that rabbit meat-based products such as burgers, marinated and grilled rabbit meat, rabbit satay and other products are always in high demand.
