Ostrich farms in the Philippines
a friend of Kuya's has an ostrich farm, and he is not the only one doing this:
WIKIPEDIA link about ostrich farming in the Philippines:
The business of ostrich farming in the Philippines began in the Philippines in 1996. It was started by Lorenzo U. Limketkai, an engineer, and his son Heintje Limketkai. Heintje Limketkai took a month-long training course on ostrich farming in Australia.....
One adult ostrich can provide around 100 kilos of red meat, which can be sold for 400–500 pesos (US$8–11 as of January 2014) per kilo.[4] Ostrich eggs, skin and feathers had also been sold to the market. Ostrich feathers are used to produce feather dusters and as decorations, while ostrich skin is used to produce leather. Eggs cost 500 pesos (US$11) apiece, providing to one ostrich farming business an annual income of 50,000 pesos[3] (US$1,100) per adult female, because a mother ostrich can lay about 100 eggs annually.
