Demand for roo meat grows
Prices for kangaroo meat have hit a record high.
John Burey, from United Game Processors in Queensland, says demand is increasing from both the pet food industry and for human consumption.
He says kangaroo carcasses are now fetching 90 cents a kilogram
"Well it would be the highest price ever reached for kangaroo meat in Australia most definitely," Mr Burey said.
"At the moment there seems to be quite a lot of movement in the industry as the human consumption industry starts to pick up, the mainstay of the industry in the past has been pet food so they're scrambling now to try and take or maintain their portion of the quota."
