The change in the composition of the export of processed meat products is shown by the following pie charts. The share of buffalo meat remained rather unchanged from 84% to 81% during the 5-year period ending 2005-06, which shows a clear trend towards its dominance in exports. There was only a marginal decline in the share of value from 76% to 73% due to higher prices. One notable feature is the rise in the share of dairy products from 12% to 19% and fall in the share of poultry products from 9% to 5%.
