Mr. Yang Haomin, president of IKO Ostrich Company in China and organiser of the conference held in China in March 2004 has recently visited a number of countries and attended several International conferences. Mr. Yang Haomin's aim was to gain a clearer understanding of our industry. He submitted a full report of his findings to the World Ostrich Association WOA. The full report is available to members of the WOA. http://www.world-ostrich.org
These are the major factors reported:
- Need for International Cooperation
- Lack of Supply
- How to Decrease Costs of Production
- How to Improve Quality of Products
For those who have followed our bulletins over the years, I think
every one of those points will sound very familiar - we have
continually discussed them. We have also offered solutions.
Some quotes from Mr. Yang Haomin's report:
Quote: He impelled on the basis of mutual benefit all the world's
ostrich breeding enterprises to be united, exchanging techniques,
developing market and making full use of advantages.
This congress stressed market, trade, cooperation, the union as well as
mutual benefits; prospected development of world ostrich industry;
analyzed regional advantages of developing ostrich industry and
emphasized information communication and importance of the union. The
conference with strategy significance was a distinguished one in the
history of Asian and East European ostrich industry. End quote
Quote: Now they stop because of lack of supply and high price. End quote
Quote: From the above it can be concluded that currently, two main
markets for skin and meat have opened up, which are in urgent need of
large supply of goods. End quote
Quote: The current problem exists in Chinese market is high demand and low supply. End quote
Quote: In addition, the way to decrease the cost of managing, breeding,
processing and marketing, combined with improvement in the quality of
the products need to be tackled as a matter of urgency. End quote
The report concluded:
Quote:
Matter of uniting ostrich industry
Union of ostrich industry is a necessity. Ostrich industry should be
impelled in different way at different levels, which includes union of
every ostrich association, union of every ostrich country, union of
regions and union of enterprises. Only by union can ostrich industry
realize the unification of breed, management, process, and brand and
achieve intensivism, industrialism, standardization and
commercialization. End Quote
Blue Mountain have not only been encouraging better communication
between all sectors of our fledgling industry for many years, they have
also been providing the mechanism to achieve this on an International
level. In addition Blue Mountain have been publishing results of
studies, trials and comparisons, papers presented at International
conferences and regular bulletins covering nutrition, management and
industry information that is freely available to the
industry.
We have consolidated some of that information into two documents that can be downloaded by clicking on their titles.
1. Proving the Untapped Production and Profit Potential of Ostrich
2. Economics and Commercialisation of Ostrich Production
Both documents are in pdf file format.
