BAKRAW – The Himalayan Goat Meat : Goat meat is consumed widely throughout in India. Goat meat production, like any other animal production enterprise, requires that good husbandry practices be followed in the areas of sanitation, health, feed, water, and shelter. These are all integral parts of managing a successful goat enterprise by the Uttarakhand Governnment, goat production increased by about one-third in the past decade because of their economic value as efficient converters of low-quality forages into quality meat, milk, and hides for specialty markets. There are several reasons for the growing popularity of goats in this country. A big factor is the larger number of ethnic groups that have settled in this country and have a preference for goat meat, milk, and cheese products. Another factor is the determination of BAKRAW- The Himalayan Goat Meat. Where resources are limited, a small herd of goats may be the only livestock that a small, part-time farmer can raise to achieve self-sufficiency.

The Uttarakhand Integrated Cooperative Development Project [UKCDP-Sheep Goat Sector] is accelerating the holistic development of the sheep and goat sector in Uttarakhand with the support of the flagship National Cooperative Development Corporation [NCDC]. Treading the path of success, we have established a state level Uttarakhand Sheep Goat and Rabbit Farmers Cooperative Federation Limited [USGCF]. We have also established primary cooperative societies at the village level, encompassing more than 10,000 sheep and goat farmers including 7,000 all women primary cooperative societies.
We believe that small steps bring radical transformation and hence have initiated multiple arrangements and reforms in the sphere.
• Surety of Sale: The federation enters into a “buy-back contract” with the sheep and goat farmers, under which the ownership of the produced progeny remains with the Uttarakhand State Sheep, Goat, Rabbit Cooperative Federation Ltd. This ensures a ready market for the farmers to sell their goats and sheep.
• Product Quality: With well monitored multi level and multi dimensional efforts, the goats thus reared provide hygienic and healthy meat.
• Creating Linkages: Persistently working towards creating a wider network of market linkages with defence organisation, institutions, colleges and consumers.
• Branding: The brand “BAKRAW” has been conceived to sell the Himalayngoat meat through Meat on Wheels [MOW] and an e-commerce platform for easy access and wider reach. We will soon enter new territories in India and abroad, also supporting the ‘Vocal for Local’ spirit in the process.
