Marketing of meat goats and their products in the Southeast USA - Producers' perspectives
Goat experts from seven land-grant universities (Langston,
Tuskegee, Virginia State, Tennessee, Fort Valley State, Florida A&M, Prairie
View A&M) from the southeast USA are working together to promote the
sustainable goat industry in this region. One of the challenges this team has realized
is the marketing issues producers are facing in this region. Therefore, this
team is conducting a survey study with producers from the Southeast Region (Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Puerto Rico, and US
Virgin Islands). The aim of this study is to help meat goat
producers from the Southeast overcome challenges in marketing goats and goat
products. Based on the survey results, strategies will be developed and used to
educate goat producers to overcome the marketing challenges. All goat
producers in the southeast USA are requested to take the survey below to help
develop the marketing strategies for goats and goat products. The survey will
take approximately 15 minutes to complete. However, it may take longer (up to
45 minutes) when internet is slow and/or other circumstances requiring more
time. To take the survey, either click the surveylink or scan and use the QR code in the image below.
