Camel milk has been consumed by humans for more than 6,000 years, but the camel milk industry is a new rural industry which is set for rapid change from cottage industry to a much larger scale production over the next 5 years. Supply and demand balance is presently tipped in favour of the producer and camel milk dairies report a four week waiting period before new customers can be supplied

This project summary presents a snapshot on the history and future potential including critical areas of attention on this important and popular emerging industry.
