Company Description
world ostrich farming started during the late 1880's in South Africa,this was also the start of the ostrich industry worldwide. The fashiondemand in Europe for ostrich feathers inspired the growth of the industry,with the Oudtshoorn district quickly being established as the Ostrichcapital of the world. During the first decade of the previous century,ostrich feathers gained record prices on foreign markets, ranking 4th onthe list of South African exports, after gold, diamonds and wool.
