Extract

The development of a community may rightly be said to be reflected in its meat requirements. Primitive peoples are quite satisfied as long as their bulk needs are met, irrespective of quality. This condition may fairly be said to be representative of most of Africa today. A more developed community demands meat of high quality from young and properly finished animals, and this is the I'equirement of the European and emergent African communities, a steadily rising demand which must be met from within the Continent if possible.
