The Institute of Animal Development estimates that donkey meat exports from Ethiopia to Hong Kong brought in $300,000 USD in foreign exchange during the most recent fiscal year.
Dr. Sahlu Mulu, the institute’s deputy director general, claimed in an interview with Bisrat Radiona TV that Hong Kong should receive the donkey meat since, in addition to donkey meat, donkey skin is widely utilised in China for therapeutic purposes. He pronounced it complete.
They continued by alleging that 140 tonnes of donkey meat were exported to raise money during the previous fiscal year. The institute said that there were already plans in place to export 600 tonnes of donkey.
The performance of the donkey meat export business was improved, and slaughterhouses were given the tools they required to deal with the issue of a scarcity of shipping containers thanks to a variety of projects that the Ministry of Maritime Transport and Logistics worked on together.
Due to a shortage of shipping containers for slaughterhouses during the shipment of the goods, donkey meat had to be sold on the international market beyond the middle of the year.
Dr. Sahlu Mulu noted that the absence of shipping containers in the business was the reason for this fiscal year’s increased performance. During the same time period the year before, donkey meat sales brought in about 200,000 US dollars. considerably the just finished fiscal year, donkey meat exports brought considerably more money than they did during the same time in 2014.
