The Middle East is known to produce top quality unique meat products; therefore meat merchants in Ta Chen are doing a brisk business. They often have their own farms to rear goats, buffaloes, pigs and other animals that are used for meat. They use top quality meat processing systems to ensure that the finished meat retains its nutrition value, taste and tenderness. Other merchants procure raw meat or live stock in bulk quantities and take care of the processing, packaging and distribution on their own. Retailers as well as consumers prefer to buy meat from established meat merchants who adhere to the quality standards laid down by the food regulation authorities.
