ਇੱਕ ਪਾਸੇ ਤਾਂ ਹਿੰਦੂਤਵ ਦਾ ਰੌਲ਼ਾ ਪਾਉਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਆਰ.ਐਸ.ਐਸ. ਅਤੇ
ਹੋਰ ਹਿੰਦੂ ਅਤਿਵਾਦੀ ਸੰਗਠਨ ਗਊ ਨੂੰ ਹਿੰਦੂਆਂ ਦੀ ਮਾਂ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਥੱਕਦੇ, ਦੂਜੇ
ਪਾਸੇ ਭਾਰਤ ਦੁਨੀਆ 'ਚ ਗਊ ਦੇ ਮਾਸ ਦਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡਾ ਵਿਕ੍ਰੇਤਾ ਹੈ। 2011 ਤੋਂ ਹੁਣ
ਤੱਕ ਗਊ ਮਾਸ ਤੇ ਐਕਸਪੋਰਟ 'ਚ ਹਰ ਸਾਲ 14% ਦਾ ਵਾਧਾ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਨਾਲ ਭਾਰਤ ਨੂੰ
2014 'ਚ $ 4.8 ਬੀਲੀਅਨ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ। ਪਿਛਲੇ ਸਾਲ ਪਿਹਲੀ ਵਾਰ ਭਾਰਤ ਨੇ ਬਾਸਮਤੀ
ਚੌਲ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਵੱਧ ਕਾਰੋਬਾਰ ਕੀਤਾ।
ਇਹ ਹੈ ਅਖੌਤੀ ਅਖੰਡ ਹਿੰਦੋਸਤਾਨ ਦਾ ਦੋਗ਼ਲਾ ਚਿਹਰਾ!!!
India retains its top spot as the world’s largest
exporter of beef, according to data released by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, and has extended its lead over the next highest exporter,
Brazil. It must be noted, however, that the U.S. government classifies
even buffalo meat as beef.
According to the data, India exported 2.4 million tonnes
of beef and veal in FY2015, compared to 2 million tonnes by Brazil and
1.5 million by Australia. These three countries account for 58.7 per
cent of all the beef exports in the world. India itself accounts for
23.5 per cent of global beef exports. This is up from a 20.8 per cent
share last year.
Data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE)
shows that most of India’s buffalo meat exports go to Asian countries —
Asia receives more than 80 per cent, while Africa takes around 15 per
cent. Within Asia, Vietnam is the largest recipient, at 45 per cent.
India’s buffalo meat exports have been growing at an
average of nearly 14 per cent each year since 2011, and fetching India
as much as $4.8 billion in 2014. Last year, India for the first time
earned more from the export of buffalo meat, than it did from Basmati
rice.
Several databases, including the United Nations Food and
Agricultural Outlook, show that meat consumption in India is increasing.
However, the data also shows that beef consumption has been falling over
the years, down -44.5 per cent in 2014 from the level it was in 2000.
This fall in consumption has been taking place regardless of the
political party in power. Chicken consumption, however, was up 31 per
cent in that period.
