Sažetak
While camel milk has long been a sustainable traditional food in drylands
and rangelands, it is increasingly being used by non-pastoral people in
major American and other global cities. Research was conducted to
determine the current practices of camel farmers and camel dairy
stakeholders, particularly dairy producers in the US and dryland countries.
Methods included direct communication with dairy producers, consumers,
pastoralists, scientists, doctors, retailers and social media data. Literature
reviews, farm visits and conferences were undertaken. The goal was to
establish some parameters of the current camel milk market to provide a
baseline for halal camel milk consumers, and secondarily examine the
potential of the camel tourism market. The various types of camel milk
products in the US were determined to range from fresh raw, VAT and
flash-pasteurized liquid, frozen liquid of the same types, and imported
powdered milk either spray-dried or freeze- dried. Similar products are
available in dryland countries with more abundant camels. Various methods
for closing sales, making deliveries and creating adequate milk preservation
methods are found in all camel dairy operations. Trends for camel milk are
upward despite these common challenges, as camel milk use is growing
among consumers. Halal consumers represent a promising and largely
untapped market for this halal food due to health demands, cultural pride
and halal tourism opportunities.
