India has maintained its buffalo meat exports at $3.17 billion in 2020-21, unchanged from the previous fiscal figure, despite an overall decline in goods exports in the pandemic-hit year, says government figures.
“Buffalo meat export from India is going on smoothly and there are no hurdles in the supply chain. The affordably-priced buffalo meat is contributing towards food security and food price inflation control in the importing countries,” a government release stated on Thursday.
The value realisation of buffalo has also increased to $2,921 per MT (metric tonne) from $,2754 per MT, the release added.
