Rabbitex article: Why Uganda is turning to rabbit meat

Walk through any Kampala supermarket and ask for rabbit meat — chances are you will leave empty-handed. Yet demand in Uganda has grown to roughly one tonne per day, driven by growing awareness of what makes rabbit special on a plate.

Lean, clean protein

Rabbit meat is one of the leanest meats available: high in protein, low in fat and cholesterol, and rich in vitamins and minerals. For families looking to eat healthier without giving up meat, it is a natural switch.

So why can't you find it?

About 98% of rabbit farmers operate on a very small scale, with limited knowledge and capacity to supply consistently. A restaurant that adds rabbit to the menu needs a reliable weekly supply — something individual smallholders cannot promise.

Rabbitex bridges the gap

That is exactly the problem Rabbitex Megafarms was built to solve: we aggregate supply from our own farm and a trained network of outgrower farmers, process it under hygienic, HACCP-guided handling, and deliver it consistently — to supermarkets like Carrefour, to restaurants, and straight to your door through our app.
