The Economics of an Industry
The emu revolution is gathering momentum and is poised to
become the next substantial domestic and export earner over
the world. Emu farming has opened a potential product range
that has international scope with demands so great that the
expansion over the next decade promises to be significant,
resulting in staggering earning potential for breeders and
investors alike.
A new opportunity is available for business to participate
at various levels in this exciting new industry. The emu
industry is in its infancy and now is the time to become
involved. The interest and investments in this exciting new
industry are largely due to the products and advantages
discussed below:
Emu By-Product
- Emu Meat is red in color with flavor similar to
beef yet contains less calories and cholesterol than
chicken. Additionally, emu is a pure, wholesome product
containing NO chemicals or hormones. Qualities are sure to
satisfy the appetites of many health conscious people.
- Emu Oil is receiving worldwide acclaim for its
medical as well as cosmetic applications. It is currently
being used and tested as a medical carrier, an aid to
arthritis and all types of muscle and joint pain as well
as a treatment for burn pain and scarring. In addition,
claims that emu oil possesses extraordinary anti-aging
elements are currently under study with results to date
attracting serious interest from the cosmetic industry.
- Emu Leather is a world class leather that is
attracting overwhelming interest in the high fashion
industry as exotic leather with high value.
- Emu Feathers are the only forked feathers in the world
with their long, narrow design complimenting high fashion
and jewelry designs in addition to practical uses such as
feather dusters and fishing lures.
- Emu Eggs are the only eggs in the world supporting 8
layers of colors allowing them to be carved into cameo
fashion heirlooms and cut and transformed into music and
jewelry boxes.
No other livestock can be compared to the emu in its
offerings. In producing two vital and at least three
decorative by-products, the emu surpasses even the buffalo in
product diversity and yield.
The Emu Advantage
The emu, second only in size to the ostrich, is native to
Australia and offers strong advantages over traditional
livestock.
The emu is a relatively simple animal to farm and easy to
manage.
- It adapts to almost any climatic condition.
- It has a very low susceptibility to disease.
- It integrates well with other farming operations, i.e.
horses, cattle, sheep, etc.
- It requires very little ground space when compared to
other livestock, (15 acres easily accommodates up to 600
birds).
- It efficiently converts feed to meat yielding
28-30 lb. Of premium meat at a processing age of
one-year-old which also allows quick turn over of stock
for the breeder.
- It consumes negligible dollars in feed (approx.
$85 per year) resulting in a high proportion of product
revenue to low maintenance cost.
- It has created a worldwide demand for breeding
stock, meat, oil, leather, feathers and other by-products.
Emu Economics - why the time is right
NOW is the time to seize the opportunity to become
involved in the newest & most exciting agri-business. A
product demand cycle is imminent as more consumers become
aware of the healthy and vital products produced by the emu.
The industry has endured through the high-priced breeding
cycle and is currently breaking into the commercial market
with secure knowledge in husbandry and product development.
This means that new comers will find stock prices attractive,
will not incur the capital losses incurred by the pioneers in
the trial & error phase of husbandry and will not have to
wait for products to be refined and developed as they are
readily available and in place.
With our population increasing rapidly, the demand for
healthy meat protein only continues to soar. Our very unstable
weather patterns have and will continue to have a devastating
impact on the beef and pork market. Here, the emu will emerge
as the treasure that it is. Unlike traditional livestock,
which can take up to 3 years to harvest, the emu is ready to
harvest in just one year.
Because the bird population is relatively small, the demand
for product will quickly exhaust all available harvest stock.
As a result, the industry will enjoy a returned value for the
existing breeding birds and higher prices for foundation stock
as well as slaughter stock. It is inevitable that a surge in
breeding stock prices will once again occur as these cycles
continue through the laborious birth of an industry.
Complete breeding and Management Facility
We will export eggs to China for incubating, hatching
& farming. Nutritional needs are met through a strict and
specialized feed program developed to insure high productivity
from breeding stock and premium yields from slaughter stock.
Management and facilities incorporate the latest technology
for optimum results at all levels.
China Joint Venture Emu Farming
The corporation has initiated discussion with some
potential Chinese partners in the emu farming project. It is
our intention to build several emu farms in China that we can
export emu eggs to China as our investments.
Since emu in North America will lay eggs during November to
April every year and emu in Peru will lay eggs from June to
September. Thus we can export emu eggs to China all year
around.
Peru Emu Farming
Peru emu farm this year can export 600 emu eggs to China
and next year it will lay more than 1000 eggs. The following
are the pictures of Peru Emu Farm.
Emu Export from North America
The corporation will purchase emu eggs from North America
and export to China for a reasonable profit. It is our
intention to acquire emu farms in North America to supply emu
eggs to China.
Future Development
The corporation will first setup a model emu farm in
China. Within a few years, this can be developed into a new
type of farming since the great market demand in red meat.
Most of farmers in China are individuals and emu farming can
be inexpensive and profitable to them. Many chicken farms in
China will like to expand into other animal farming business
and emu will be one of them that they will consider.
