Jalisco’s Growing Number of Frog Meat Farms

The bullfrog is not native to Jalisco, but that hasn’t stopped the growing trend of frog farming in the state with currently 15 farms, some already exporting their meat to the United States.

Currently nearly 20 tons of frog meat is raised in the state, last year two tons were exported, however so far in the first three months of this year the state has exported a half ton with growing demand.

Beyond just selling the meat, the live animals are also sold at an average of $90 peso per kilo. The meat brings in around $140 pesos per . . .
