crocodile farming

Crocodile farming, also known as crocodile aquaculture, involves breeding and rearing crocodiles in controlled environments for commercial purposes. Farmers raise these reptiles for their skins, which are used to produce luxury goods like handbags and shoes, and for their meat, which is consumed locally or exported. The process includes incubation of eggs, hatchling management, and growth to market size, typically in secure enclosures that mimic their natural habitat. Proper care, health management, and regulated harvesting ensure sustainable production. Crocodile farming helps meet market demand while reducing pressure on wild populations.
