The South African company, Kalahari Kid has announced plans to export goat products worth about R1bn ($101 million) a year to the Middle East by 2007.

The venture is a public-private partnership between investors in South Africa and the Middle East and the Northern Cape government. The geographical advantage of South Africa enables reduced transportation times and costs, and Kalahari plans to establish a network of farms from which goats could be sourced.
