 Australia has exported camel meat, primarily to the Middle East but also to Europe and the US, for many years.The meat is very popular among North African Australians, such as Somalis, and other Australians have also been buying it.The feral nature of the animals means they produce a different type of meat to farmed camels in other parts of the world, and it is sought after because it is disease-free, and a unique genetic group.
