There is no b2b startup to cater to online meat delivery companies. These companies easily procure fish and hav tie-ups with poultry farms for chicken, but when it comes to mutton they are facing issues. Currently they buy mutton frm suppliers. Few are also trying to rear sheep’s/goats in large nos through progressive shepherd’s. Still theres a demand and supply gap.
So why not build a startup in this category, like ninja cart who is a link between farmers and e-tailers in vegetables and fruits category.
Also hotelier’s, export firms, super markets and butchers need this service. And the demand is huge. Like luscious alone is close to reach 1lakh orders per month with a average price size of 650/-
Out of this mutton orders stand at 10%-12%
Also current gaps frm farmer to kitchen in this category are many, wch can be plugged by the help of technology ensuring more profits to shepherds and continuous and quality supply to the online companies.
I appreciate your future plannings of direct marketing in goat/sheep mutton. Hope,It will be practical soon in nearby future. Even one farmer, name sri srinivas of M/s Yashodavana Goat farms, hullihalli of Nanjangud taluk, started a big goat farm and started selling Goat milk and its by products also, at premium prices and public also started purchasing.
Good future is there for direct marketing of Goats, Sheeeps meat and goat milk and their by products also. In direct marketing of Goat/Sheep meat, another advantage is they can be marketed comfortably even though the size of the animal is bigger, provided the meat is tender.
example: The sirohi, Beetel, Jamunapari are very big animal breeds and at the tender age of one year it self, they weigh around 50 to 70 kgs, even more, and they are lenghthy animals. In a butcher shop, if they are hanged , they looks at a height of 6 to 7 ft. customers don’t like to purchase, though the meat is tender and very tasty. This problem will not be there, if their meat is marketed directly, online. Very beneficial to farmers and end users also.
I once again appreciate your vision. with best wishes , g.p.rao, farmer
We can do pasteurization of Goat milk , after harvest and do tetra packing. It will have a keeping quality of few months.
Goat milk has limited market in south India, at present , where as, very good market in North India. The tetra packed Goat milk can be exported to North Indian cities/towns comfortably.
Yashodavana goat farms , hirehalli, Mysore are doing. Goat milk industry is in its beginning in South India.
Products like Goat cheese , is having a great market. You can contact NDRI(National Dairy Research Institute) , Bengaluru for cheese technologies.
